"...Hello?"
"..."
"Ana?"
"...No. This isn't Ana."
"..."
"Who do you work for, bud? You have five seconds before your house goes up in flames."
"..."
"...Five."
"Four."
"I didn't ask you to count with me!"
"Two."
"Ana, this boy is an ass. I hate him."
"Five more minutes, Charlie."
"...Charlie?"
"This may seem...sketchy to you. But I'm like...her boyfriend."
"..."
"Wow. I at least expected a reaction from you. Not gonna threatened to beat my ass or some shit?"
"Come set my house of fire and we'll see if I kick your ass or not. Not because of the house though."
"..."
"By the way, Ana is clearly cheating on you with me. Some problem for us, huh?"
"...You just hurt my feelings, bro."
"Too bad. You just pissed me off."
"Jeez. You can have her. She's totally ugly."
"..."
"Hey? You there?"
"Yup. And I'm coming to Ana's house to punch you right in the fucking face."
"Don't beat my ass, sir. I hardly even have one."
"You think this is funny, asshole?"
"Actually, yes. It's funny because I'm not her boyfriend."
"Who the hell are you then?"
"...Her father. And you aren't allowed to date her, son."
"..."
"Gosh, just messing with you. I'm her uncle Charlie."
"...I almost had a heart attack."
"Scared of her dad? You should be. He doesn't even know about you."
"I figured."
"It's just that...my brother is protective. Like, if you hurt her, he'll drop your ass on the floor. Her mother knows everything and she just...loves you. She's glad you're making her daughter happy."
"Charlie, who are you talking to?"
"Shut up, Ana. Keep sleeping."
"You're a dick."
"So were you. You just turned into a protective beast like her father when I said Ana was my girlfriend. Dude, I respect you."
"...Thanks."
"Is that Jace?"
"This is a dream, Ana. Shh."
"..."
"Anyway, just...don't hurt her, okay? Then I'll have to be on my brothers side and be glad to see you bruised."
"I don't plan on it."
"You're a great guy, Jace."
"...Sorry about earlier. I take it back."
"Don't. You were supposed to be pissed. And it was funny."
