"Good Morning."
"Not a good morning for me."
"Why? The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of-"
"Stop being so loud."
"You aren't still sick, are you?"
"I am."
"But don't you have Adam today?"
"I do."
"He isn't sick, too, is he?"
"He is."
"Now I feel terrible."
"It's not your fault. The cold is pretty common right now."
"Is there anything I can do?"
"You don't happen to be up for a 2 hour trip to bring me a half-a-dozen strawberry cupcakes, do you?"
"Anything for you, Peaches."
"Thank you. I'll pay you extra for the trip here."
"No, you won't."
"Rupert-"
"Let me do this for you, Peaches."
"You've already given me enough."
"It's what friends do."
"Friends?"
"Yeah... We are friends aren't we?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Are you okay, Peaches? You sound upset."
"I'm just... not feeling well."
"Well, I'll let you get some sleep."
"I'll leave the money out on the porch, don't bother ringing the doorbell. Just leave them at the door."
"Can I ask why I'm not welcome in?"
"Cayden is gonna be here later tonight."
"Oh?"
"He doesn't want me talking to you."
"Well why are you?"
"I like talking to you."
"I like talking to you too, Peaches."
