"You’re one cryptic man." 

"I do try." 

"Should I be concerned about said things?"

"Probably not." 

"That’s…that’s probably not something to be proud of.” 

"There's a lot of things that I shouldn't be proud of." 

"Chase doesn’t even compare to that name, but whatever." 

"You can call me that if you want. If you used it to anyone else they'd still know who you were talking about." 

"I don’t think you want to be referred to as ‘egocentric, juvenile guy who won’t tell me his name’, do you? Although, I bet the first two words are nothing you haven’t head before."

"As nice as that name is, I think we're going to go with Chase instead." 

"That depends on the nickname." 

"Your system isn’t even applicable to others. And it’s not that hard to break a faulty system." 

"Okay, I'll give you that." 

"That’s not a bad system. But, there’s room for improvement.” 

"Improvement? How so?" 

"My apologies…kind of. Care to explain this system?" 

"I pair everyone's face with their name and some key information about them. For example, I would pair Kelsey with your face, and the information would be that you killed my system momentarily." 

"Sorry to break your streak. I’m Kelsey…it’s an easy name." 

"But I had a system and you broke it. It doesn't matter if your name is easy, you ruined everything." 

"Huh? Oh, haha, okay. Do you want me to call you that, or something else? Dr. Catelano is what your nametag used to say, I think."

"Yeah, that’s cool! That’s me… Dr. Catelano?"

"Are you sure?" 

"You-wait...who are you?" 

"That sure took you a while. So what’s mine?"

"Oh, I know this, N...Nikki?" 

"It might help you both to figure out what you want from each other. Okay, maybe not a marriage counsellor, but you two need to talk to someone about everything, since you can’t seem to talk to each other about it.”

"You're right about our inability to have civil conversations. But I don't think she wants to fix anything."
