"This is Problem Solver Dot Com. How can we-"
"Hey Cupid."
"Not you again."
"It's cute that you remember me."
"What do you want? Need to find love again?"
"No. Not anymore. I figured that love is just not for me. Even though I want it so bad."
"Dude or whatever your name is, don't give up. You'll find love. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you'll find it."
"Pretty ironic coming from someone who just said love is stupid."
"I did not say love is stupid."
"Maybe not in so many words, but that's what you meant."
"No Frank. I love the idea of love. I just think that love will never happen with me. It's not that I think its stupid, I just think its time wasting trying to find love. Why am I even explaining this to you."
"Did you just call me Frank?"
"Yes I did. Is that all you got out from what I just said? Ugh this is stupid. I'm hanging up now."
"No don't Cupid. I heard you. And I get you."
"Dont call me Cupid. It makes me sound so lovable. Anyway, so Frank, why did you call in today if you dont have a problem?"
"My name is not Frank. And I just wanted to know Cupid doesn't believe in Santa."
"I'm not 6, that's why I don't believe in Santa. Don't tell me that you do?"
"Of course I do! Santa is real. He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake."
"You're making Santa sound like a creepy stalker."
"Don't you worry Cupid. I'll make you believe."
