EMILY: You *made* it, you mean.

JACK: That’s a filthy accusation. But it was magnificent. Admit it.

EMILY: FINE. It was pretty good.

JACK: That cuts deep.

EMILY: Are you always this insecure?

JACK: Only about my seagulls and maybe one or two other things that I can’t remember right now.

EMILY: If it means that much to you, then yes, it was magnificent.

JACK: You’re just saying that to make me feel better.

EMILY: Brb, just gonna throw my laptop out the window now.

JACK: Do you have anger management issues?

EMILY: Not usually. You seem to be a special case.

JACK: If I had a nickel for every time I heard that…

EMILY: What could you buy?

JACK; Nothing. I never hear that. I’m the least upsetting human on the planet.

EMILY: I feel like that might not be true.

JACK: On what evidence?

EMILY: Your Twitter account, for one.

JACK: Oh, you follow that, hm?

EMILY: Why are you saying that like you just caught me riding past your house on my bike to see if you’re home?

JACK: Because this is the digital equivalent.

EMILY: Is not.

JACK: Is too.

EMILY: So what’s the analog equivalent of a guy who Photoshopped himself into my pictures then Photoshopped in a stalking seagull? Is that you waving at me from your window as I ride by on my bike? No. That’s you hiding in my bushes and peeking through the window.

JACK: That seagull was not me hiding in the bushes. That was me standing in your yard, throwing pennies at your window.

EMILY: Pennies?

JACK: Rocks would break it, probably.

EMILY: Fair enough. Just got home. Gotta go eat.

JACK: We cool?

EMILY: …
