"Wow. No. Not doing that."

"Oh, come on. All I need you to do is talk to her for a bit and find out what she thinks of me. But don't be overt. Insinuate something."

"I'm not sure what that means, but still no. Didn't you read that story in English about Miles Standish and that chick and what's-his-face? Why, she'll fall in love with me in a hilarious, romantic-comedy sort of way. Jennifer Aniston would star in the movie version."

"Yeah, you wish. Just do it."

"No!"

"Ow! No need to get violent!"

"Plenty need to get violent! Do it!"

"Fine, fine, I'll ask her if she 'like likes' you. You're such a twelve-year-old."

"If I'm a twelve-year-old, then you're the puny third-grader about to get his face stomped in. Go!"

"So? What'd she--hey, where'd you get that brownie?"

"Hn. You'll be here in a minute, she'll be there in a minute, but this piece of chocolately nirvana won't. So, lay it on me. What'd she say?"

[sound of chewing]

"Well?"

"She thinks you're rude, impulsive, easily distracted, and mean-spirited."

"Good, nothing I can't handle. Now if you'll excuse me, sidekick, I've got a girl to win."

"Some days, I wonder what I'm doing with you."

"Only some?"
