Speaker #0Hey, why can't you ever pick up your phone the first time I call? No, that's not why I called. What would that... What? Did you see it outside? Oh, the snow, of course. Yeah. We can't very well travel in the snow. Our whole weekend plans are ruined. Yeah, I know it was on the weather forecast, but I thought we might get lucky. So, what do you want to do? Go badger the hotel for a refund? Mm. That sounds like work. I don't want to do it. Can you do it for me? Because I hate talking on the phone. Ugh. To someone other than you, obviously. Yeah, I know I'm in a bad mood. You don't have to point it out. It's just that I really wanted to do this weekend. I know everybody else cancelled ages ago, but... It was just gonna be the two of us, and... Honestly, I... I kind of preferred it that way. I'm just saying, I didn't want to hang out in the pool with like 15 other people. I just... I only wanted to hang out with you, okay? Man, you are dense when you want to be. Don't you understand what I'm saying? I want to be around you, and I don't say that lightly, because I don't really want to be around anyone. But, for you, I make an exception. Yeah, a pool party weekend thing, does that really sound like me? No, exactly. And I even said no when Anna invited me. But then when you invited me, I said yes. Do you get the picture? Come on, man. Don't make me spell it out. I like you. Yes, like romantically. Jeez. I know I sound frustrated. I always sound frustrated. I just... I thought you'd get the point by now. But I definitely thought you'd get it this weekend when we hung out, one-on-one, all alone, you know? You know, like how Anna pulled out mysteriously. And then Travis. Yep. Yeah, I convinced them too. Man, I really do have to spell things out for you. No, I didn't tell them that I wanted to confess to you or something. I just kind of voiced my annoyances with them coming. Yeah, people tend to stay pretty far away from me when I sound angry. Wait, is that why you're being so dodgy about this? Dude, I'm sorry. Anger is just my natural state. But you, by the way, haven't said anything. about how you feel about me, and that's making me more angry and more annoyed. So, how do you feel about me? Like, do you feel the same way? Yeah, I'm putting you on the spot, but I don't really care. Look, I'm not really the mushy type, but... I have a soft spot for you, so I wanna know. Because I really, really care about you. And I have for... A pretty long time. No, I haven't been abducted by aliens, okay? I know I'm acting weird, but I'm nervous. I don't sound nervous. I never sound nervous. Apparently, my ability to show emotions is not a skill that is well-developed, but I'm trying to be nice right now. Yes, this is my nice voice. Come on, man. Get it together. Really? You like me? Like? romantically. I'm just poking fun. I wish we didn't have to do this over a call. No way, you're not coming over here. It's way too stormy. Listen, I'm really sad we didn't get our weekend hangout, but... I'm really glad that I learned that you feel the same way about me. You're happy too, right? I'm going to make an effort to be more sheer, okay? Or whatever it is you people want when you say that I should sell my things. More transparent. That's great phrasing. Thank you, honey. And... I want to be a good partner, but just so you know, I'm not good at this stuff. In fact, I've never even been in a relationship. Oh, don't sound so surprised. Come on. Everyone thinks I'm so intimidating. Nobody ever even talks to me, let alone tries to woo me. You're literally the only person willing to talk to me for more than five seconds. But, like I was saying, I'm not particularly well-versed in this area. So you're just gonna have to be honest with me, okay? Ask me directly how I'm feeling. Don't make any assumptions. Just because I sound upset or apathetic... Doesn't mean I am. It's just how I'm wired, you know? And, above all, just know that I care about you. Really. Even when it doesn't sound like I do. I do. I think about you a lot. And I was extremely, extremely nervous about this phone call. I know, I know you didn't hear it, but... I was. Maybe you'll get better at reading my emotions. And I'll get better at conveying them, okay? So... Is it official, then? Are we... Are we a thing? That's awesome. No, I'm really excited. Darn it. What am I supposed to do when I'm excited? Oh, squeal? Please, can you even imagine me squealing? That's what pigs do. Name something else. Okay, fine. Yay! I'm so excited! Is that better? Okay. I will see you soon. The moment the storm lets up, I'm coming over there. Yeah? Okay. Bye for now.
