{Kyle groaned and moved to cover his face, knowing she was right, despite whatever messed up metaphor they’d somehow stumbled into.} I don’t like you.

Shut up. You love me.

{His eyes go cross-eyed trying to see where she flicked him} The logistics of that are astronomically unbelievable. Gills would die of a heart attack by the time she reached the tenth floor, and the whole point would be moot.

She's a bit tougher than you give her credit for       but at the same time, she's only human like the rest of us. And a little effort goes a long way. Whether it's meeting her at the bottom of that building or constructing some kind of net to grab her before that tenth floor.

Van…It’s not—she said she’d rather jump off of a twenty story building than be within five-feet of me. What’m I supposed to do with that?

Be at the bottom of that building with a trampoline. [ she flicked his forehead ] Duh.

And which school is no longer committing genocide on innocent frogs and cutting them up for the sake of ‘science’? 

My point is      some things are worth fighting for while others      are just wasting time lying in bed and hoping  that someone caves before your stomach wins it all.

Until Nebraska becomes our nation’s capitol.

Like I haven't heard that one before out of you. Remember third grade when you tried to set the frogs free? You couldn't get them out of the classroom so instead you locked the door and wouldn't come out until they signed a contract to never cut up another frog until 2035.

My attitude is fine, it’s amazing. It’s your plan that’s not.

Are you sure about that because my plan is amazing. Lying face down in bed until      how long did you say you were going to stay there?

It’s not gonna work.

Not with that attitude it won't.
