"I hate the world."
"Why?"
"There's no reason. I just hate it."
"I can't read you sometimes."
"..."
"You're... what's the word for it? Undecipherable."
"I guess I am naturally like that. Or you just don't know me."
"We haven't talk for almost a week, and that's your new uber positive greeting."
"I guess it is. To be honest, I haven't been using the fucking greeting, greeting, greeting, greeting, greeting, greeting, greeting, greeting..."
"What the? Is it you or is it my goddamn phone?"
"See? It confused you."
"But, the greeting was used so they'll know they called the right number!"
"... In all honesty, I was just sick of it."
"You're impossible."
"Thanks, I tried."
"... By the way, what are you doin'?"
"You know what. Talking to you and such."
"If you're gonna ask me—"
"Which I won't because I don't care."
"Either way, I'm heading out for a walk."
"Just a walk? With nowhere to go?"
"With nowhere to go."
"I think it's going to pour down later."
"How would you know that?"
"I've red something about a bubble's coffee. If they're closer to the centre, it'll rain."
"Brought to you by Fox News."
"Asshole. I'm being serious."
"I know, I'm just trying to piss you off."
"..."
"See how long you're going to hold off."
"Tsk. Is this one of your shenanigans?"
"No. Anyway, I'd love to get rained down this time."
"..."
"I want to let the rain pour down on me."
"Bring a fucking umbrella, Jacques. And don't get yourself wet if you don't wanna be sick."
"Then let it be! COME TO ME MOTHERFUCKING RAIN!"
"What the? Why?"
"Because, like you. I hate the world too."
*Call ended*
"That didn't make sense."
