ME
hate to say youre right
but i gotta ask you something

FODEN
alright
let's hear it then
whats up 

ME
hypothetically
if i had asked charlotte out on a date
hypothetically
what would you recommend
for a first date

FODEN 
sorry
i dont answer to hypotheticals

ME
stop being a dickhead
and answer the question

FODEN
alright alright
will you hate me if i say
i told you so 

ME
yes

FODEN
hm
lets see 
shes always been a bit of a sucker for mediterranean food
take her out to dinner and then drinks
nothing can go wrong with that
or maybe both
shes always liked going to small pubs

ME
mediterranean??
gotta do some research then

foden
i would tell you her usual place
but we cant make it too obvious i helped you can we
she'd throw a fit
if she knew i was involved 

me
fair
anything else i should know?? 

FODEN
this feels like cheating
like
youre getting all the tips  

ME
just answer the question
besides if shes your best friend
wouldn't you want her to have a good first date
think of it that way

FODEN
true
she hates it when people have bad table manners
she hates it when people are rude to the waiter
she actually broke up with her first boyfriend because of that
in secondary school
shes really prideful so she'll try to pay for her own food
but dont let her pay because if you do she'll be annoyed

ME
great
is there anything she doesn't hate....? 

FODEN
i wouldnt stress about it
i reckon she already likes you if she said yes
she once told a guy she was terminally ill and had 2 months left
because she didn't want to go on a date with him
she told another one that we were married and expecting two kids
we were 18 at the time
shes sensitive to smell so wear good cologne
she finds it attractive when guys are confident 
you should talk about your niece 
she likes it when men are good with kids

ME
you're making me stress
mate

FODEN
can i just say it once
i told you so
i called this right then and there
make me best man at your wedding will ya?
preferably name your first child after me as well
phil mount
nah
doesnt have a nice ring to it
at least we tried

ME
phil?
shut up.
