take back the night

They sound traumatic so let’s forget I ever asked about it.

Thank you.

That’s a cute name, Chase. Do you get a lot of puns with it?

Oh, um, thank you. Back in elementary school... please don’t bring those memories back.

I’m Billie, by the way.

Nice to meet you. I’m Chase.

I don’t know if I can live through this much disappointment, but I’ll try my hardest. 

I appreciate it, really.

Alright, puppies it is for you.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Is it the claws? 

I think it goes more to the entire genetic makeup.

They’re tricky, I know. But, c’mon, kittens? You gotta think kittens are cute!

Cute, sure, but I wouldn’t own one myself.

Ohhh, not a cat person, huh? 

Not quite, no.

There’s a kiss in it for you if you do.

Damn right. As well as a kitten. 

Ehhh.

See, I don’t think you want me to lie.

It’s Sophie’s choice for most people, but I’d make the same call as you did.

Everyone loves a cute puppy, right?

Let’s just say I’ll need a large glass of wine when I get home.

I’m not, not really, so I’ll cut this short if it’s all the same to you.

Just as soon as you apologize for flirting with my girlfriend, sure.

Just a bit more. Who do you think is cuter, puppies or babies?

Tough sell, but... puppies.

That’s what I like to hear.

Polite?

Yes.
