A: Smorgasprep?
M: Hipstergeist?
M: Listen, I just want those sunglasses, okay?
A: Oh, they're good. I'm liking the anchor bracelet a lot too.

M: Well, DONE. You know my address. May 12th.
A: I...wait. What?
M: Sooooo super sweet of you to get that for me!
A: No.
M: It's going to look so good with a tan.
A: Sigh.
