Shepard:I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Denver:You said you weren’t sending anything, but you did. You’re a closet romantic.
Shepard:I said I wouldn’t send a card, chocolate, or flowers.
Shepard:Or a pug.
Denver:But you sent me pug-shaped cookies?
Denver:You looooooove me.
Shepard:I tolerate you. On a good day.
Denver:Uh huh. You wanna kiss me.
Denver:UGH. Why’d I say that? Now I want to kiss you.
Shepard:WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP IT.
Shepard:Shit. Now I can’t stop thinking about kissing you.
Denver:I’M SORRY!
Denver:Kind of.
Denver:You totally have a boner now, don’t you?
Shepard:Pft. No.
Denver:You know, I heard your dick shrinks half an inch for every lie you tell.
Shepard:I don’t have a boner!
Denver:It’s perfectly natural, Shep. Even ladies get boners—in our nipples.
Shepard:Stop talking, Denver.
Denver:Oooh, using the full name huh? You’re totally thinking about my nipples, aren’t you?
Denver:Bet that boner is real painful right about now.
Shepard:Quit saying boner!
Shepard:You’re too exhausting for me to have one right now.
Denver:You’ll have one later. I’m certain of it.
Denver:Shep?
Shepard:What?
Denver:Boner.
Shepard:GODDAMIT!
