"Hello, this..."
"You know, that description's kinda daft. I mean, who calls a helpline without knowing what it is, what it does and how it helps?"
"People who prank-call?"
"Eh, legit."
"I thought you went to sleep."
"I thought you went to catch me."
"You're weird, Hades."
"Less weird than yo maduh [your mother]."
"Seriously, are we moving on to 'Yo Mama' jokes?"
"I dunno."
"..."
"..."
"Okay, you know what, I'm bored, so let's play a game."
"Your whole life is already a game. But shoot."
"Jokey today aren't you? Okay. It's called '10 questions'. Each..."
"So old-school, Bruce. But sure."
"What?"
"Bruce. Bruce Le(e)igh. Or would you like Bruce Wayne?"
"Pssshhh, lameee. Okay, me first."
"What happened to equality?"
"It got outbalanced."
"Hahahaha [long laugh]. However, since I'm a gentleman, I'm gonna let you go first."
"Ugh, please."
"Well there you denied it. Imma go first then."
"What? So unfair!"
"Life's unfair. Okay, first question. What's your full name?"
"Is that all you can think of?"
"I've got nine more. Chill."
"Fine, whatever floats your boat. It's Leigh Burton Ellis Oliver Calhoun."
"Calhoun? You must be Anubis' best bud."
"Can you please just... goddamnit. Ugh. My turn. What's your full name?"
"Hades the High and Mighty."
"More like Hades the Hippie and Mad."
"Oohhh, you shall never be forgiven!"
"Shut... AAARRGG! Shit! Shit shit shit shit shit!"
