"Feisty pants! Barista! Dimples! M'lady!"
❝Yes alphabet boy?❞
"The use of a song title as a nickname and it works. I like it. Out of those nicknames, which one is your favorite?"
❝That will remain a secret. Now, the usual?❞
"I'll figure it out soon. I just winked. Yes the usual, but can I change the size?"
❝Yes, would you rather have a short, tall, grande, venti, or trenta?❞
"How about I know how tight a size of your-"
❝Q...❞
"So I can figure out how to fit my-"
❝Quentin!❞
"Nerissa! I'm kidding, I just wanted to see how long it takes to make you annoyed. Apparently not that long."
❝Don't you know it's wrong to plagiarize? You can't use what other girls say about you to make your joke funny.❞
"Ouch, you show no mercy do you?"
❝...Nope. Anyway, you never answered the question.❞
"I'll take a short. Speaking of height, how tall are you?"
❝Coming right up and I am 5'2.❞
"Awe, you're a short stack of coffee cups."
❝I am not that short. That is average height for a teenager my age.❞
"No, no, no. You are a short stack. That's adorable. Really. I am 6'0."
❝You're a skyscraper.❞
"I'll take that as a compliment."
❝Quentin...❞
"Yes m'lady?"
❝Take it back you fucker.❞
"Whoa, short stack has a language on her."
❝I don't like being called short. Stop.❞
"Give me one reason why you don't like being short?"
❝I am insecure. I want to love myself, I really do, but I can't. So, I'd appreciate it if you would stop.❞
"Nerissa..."
❝I have to go. My boss needs me.❞
"I'm sor-"
❝Goodbye Quentin.❞
"Nerissa?"
❝...❞
"You won't hear this, but I have a soft spot for short girls."
