Andrew: You have not even forty five minutes left of work and you're calling me.
Jewel: Well, I would have thought you'd be happy to talk to me.
Andrew: I'm always happy to talk to you, but when you're working I don't want to be a distraction.
Jewel: Whenever I try to call my other friends they don't answer.
Andrew: Then who do you talk to when you're not talking to me?
Jewel: My friend, Mercy. She works in accounting her at the publishing office.
Andrew: What's the name of the company you work for?
Jewel: Zodiac Publishing Co.
Andrew: The owner must be really into astrology.
Jewel: You have no idea. She makes sure that almost every group has a person with each zodiac in it and then we have to put our horoscopes on the bottom of our reports. The lunch room even has specific sections for the signs.
Andrew: That doesn't seem just a little over board to her?
Jewel: When Julia has her mind set in something she sticks to it.
Andrew: Jewel and Julia how fun.
Jewel: Jewelry and Jules are our names around the office.
Andrew: Jewelry, can I call you that?
Jewel: No, absolutely not, never in a million year can you ever call me that.
Andrew: Every night I almost call you.
Jewel: Just to say it always will be you, Wherever You Are 5 Seconds of Summer. Youre not gonna get me that easy.
Andrew: Thought I had you on that one. Ooo tell me about the manuscript you're reading.
Jewel: It sucks! Like the plot is all too cliché. Like the main character is so dull. The plot, if that's even what you can call it, is pretty much the main character running off to some place and Europe trying to find the love of her life. Meets him at a coffee shop, spills coffee on him, tries to clean it off blah blah blah and boom they're cruisin' the Mediterranean married with two kids.
Andrew: That does sound awful. Chloe writes better stuff than that.
Jewel: Who's Chloe?
Andrew: My other little sister. She's fifteen I think.
Jewel: You think? What kind of brother are you forgetting your sisters age.
Andrew: Look to me they're all like twelve so at least I'm close to her actual age.
Jewel: How many siblings do you have.
Andrew: I have five including myself. One brothers and three sisters. I'm the oldest.
Jewel: I'm the youngest. I have two brothers and one sister.
Andrew: You must be your moms favorite.
Jewel: No, James is her favorite but she doesn't like to admit it.
Andrew: Are you packing up now?
Jewel: Yep, I am officially off work and can go home and relax.
Andrew: My mom wants me to go to the store for her.
Jewel: Have fun.
Andrew: I'm not going.
Jewel: Why not?
Andrew: She knows how I get around people, I can't do it.
Jewel: Come on people aren't all that bad, you can't hate all of us.
Andrew: If only you knew.
Jewel: How much I do, do need you. Some song by Pattie Labelle.
Andrew: Damn thought you wouldn't get that one.
Jewel: I'm getting in the car so I'll call you when I get home, ight?
Andrew: Yea ight.
Jewel: You should laugh more you have a nice laugh.
Andrew: Yea, later Jew Jew
