Liam: You don't like me do you?
Annie: No, I like you just fine.
Liam: Don't lie.
Annie: Honestly, people who grunt one word answers, it's not really my cup of tea.
But whatever floats your boat.
Liam: Ok, look, I have a confession. I'm pretty shy around strangers, because
when I was a kid we moved around a lot, I was always meeting new people and
they would mock me, and it made me feel insecure.
Annie: I understand. I am probably bringing my own baggage to this, see I once
dated this guy named Carl Dog and he had this cousin who was a real ass.
You know he would try to screw with people and make them feel uncomfortable,
I guess it was just to make himself feel better. Really, quite pitiful. And very
traumatic for me.
Liam: *laughs*

Liam: Hey, so you were right. I was being a jerk earlier.
Annie: Not gonna argue.
Liam: Come on, can't you give me another shot?
Annie: Fine, I will give you another shot.
Liam: Over dinner next week? Just the two of us.

Annie: Thank you for helping me.
Liam: Yeah, no problem. He'll sleep it off...Hey Annie I was thinking about those
theories of yours and I want to offer up another theory. Maybe I'm just curious a
bout you.
Annie: What do you mean you're curious?
Liam: Well I don't know. I mean, you throw a shower for something you don't feel
like celebrating, you act like a good girl but you're not. You are a volcano.
Annie: What?
Liam: Yeah, see you're dormant now, but there's stuff percolating. This whole good
girl routine, the smile you paste on your face, it's just a mask. And when you finally
can't take it anymore, and you explode, oh it's gonna be fantastic. Who doesn't
want to watch a volcano explode?
---
Liam: Tick tock tick tock...
Annie: What is that supposed to mean?
Liam: Nothing, just wondering how long it's going to take for you to drop the
nice girl act.
Annie: Did it ever occur to you that maybe it's not an act, maybe I'm just a
nice person?
Liam: Not really.
