{00:00} Happy Birthday!
{00:01} I hate to disappoint you but it is not my birthday.
{00:02} Of course it is your birthday! I have waited for so long to text you to say happy birthday. I am positive it is your birthday.
{00:03} I know when my own birthday is. My birthday is on 13th June.
{00:04} Who is this?
{00:05} And finally you ask.
{00:06} That is not an answer.
{00:07} I am fully aware of that.
{00:09} Cocky one you are.
{00:10} I am also fully aware of that.
{00:11} Name's Miles. If you wish to know. Nice to meet you!
{00:12} Not telling you my name.
{00:13} Okay then.
{00:14} Damn it.
{00:15} What is wrong?
{00:16} The fact that you do not want to know my name annoys me.
{00:17} Well then call me mister annoying.
{00:19} I'd prefer to call you Miles considering that it is your name.
{00:20} Smarty pants.
{00:21} My name begins with T.
{00:22} Considering that I know not of your gender this seems harder than it should be. Tiana like the fairy princess from Princess and the Frog.
{00:23} Oh my God that is my favourite film! No that is not my name.
{00:24} What about Teddy?
{00:25} Ew, no.
{00:26} Tyler?
{00:27} Turner?
{00:29} Tess?
{00:30} No.
{00:30} No.
{00:35} So close.
{00:36} Tessa like the dying girl in Before I Die?
{00:37} You've read that book?
{00:39} Yep. And seen the film. Anyway you answered my question with a question.
{00:40} What if I told you that you were right.
{00:41} I'd have a party.
{00:42} Am I invited?
{00:43} Of course...
{00:44} NOT!
{00:45} Now that's just mean.
{00:46} Well you did not wish to tell me your name so why should I invite you to a celebratory party about you?
{00:47} Because it is about me?
{00:49} Good answer but it is only satisfactory, not exceedingly brilliant.
{00:50} I have a question for you.
{00:51} Go ahead.
{00:52} Are you a teacher?
{00:53} What makes you think that?
{00:54} Your reply to my question at 00:47. But not just that, the fact that you get birthdays wrong.
{00:55} I am just very good with seducing things. And are you insinuating that all teachers cannot, in fact, remember birthdays?
{00:56} Seducing? My dear Watson I believe that you mistakenly typed seducing.
{00:57} Why am I the sidekick? And I meant deducing!
{00:59} Because you are the robin to my batman.
{01:00} I must go Tessa, sleep awaits me.
{01:00} Don't forget to dream about me. Oh, and remember to text your real friend a happy birthday.
{01:01} Don't worry my dear Sherlock. I will.
