"Hisae, hi! It's Ezra... This is you, right?"
"..."
"...hold on, let me look at this number..."
"..."
"... FUCK."
"Ez, I hope you know that Hisae doesn't bat for your team."
"You know Hisae?"
"We were best friends for two years until she transferred to a different school. So trust me when I say she's not interested in you, or frankly, anyone."
"Oh. How come she didn't just say so?"
"She probably didn't want to straight-up hurt your feelings."
"You should try to learn from her, Nika."
"If I was nice, what fun would that be?"
"A lot more for the boys who are receiving the rejections."
"Okay, you make a valid point."
"Don't I always?"
"It's sort of my personality. What do I need in order to be 'nice'?"
"Frankly, Jesus."
"Weren't you the one who just told me I should try to learn from Hisae?"
"I said you should try, not that you actually could."
"Your lack of faith in me is insulting."
"Did you just call me insulting? You know, Nika, I'm still not over the fact that you called my dad good-looking."
"What? He is."
"If my memories were a hard drive, I'd burn it. To pieces."
"[laugh] 'Burn to pieces'. Do you not know how chemistry works, Ez?"
"Oh, I know how chemistry works, alright. Ask any girl I've met."
"I can hear you winking."
