"Lucy, the weirdest thing happened yesterday. I called, because I was stuck in a zippy situation and some dude picked up. He saved me life! But he was so grumpy."

"I'm not Lucy! Nor am I grumpy!"

"You again? Where the heck is Lucy!? I was sure I had the right number this time."

"Well, you dont. So quite calling!"

"See? Grumpy!"

"I am not grumpy! I'm very busy at the moment so-"

"Whatcha doin'?"

"Does it matter?"

"Just trying to initiate in small talk, geez. My bad. People these days, so rude."

"Screw off."

"Yikes! What a potty mouth."

"Shut up. I'm trying to work."

"...Whatcha workin' on?"

"Homework."

"What kind of homework?"

"Its for my university class."

"Oh, cool! What are you going to university for?"

"That's none of your business, stranger!"

"Don't you know this is how you make friends?"

"By calling strangers and pestering them as they try to work?

Why am I still even talking to you?"

"Because I'm interesting? Insightful? Everything you've ever wanted?

That's not what I was talking about, anyway. You make friends by talking to new people."

"I'm perfectly capable of making friends, thank you very much!"

"Yeesh, calm down, Mr.Grump."

"Do not call me that."

"Fine, fine. What should I call you?"

"Don't call me at all."

"Awe.

You've hung up."
