"Hazel, I'll go get you something."
"Okay, sure! Surprise me?"
"I'll be back soon, don't miss me too much."
"Whatever, Coop Diddy."
"You -! Every time!"
...
"You know that Cooper guy?"
"You mean the totally dreamy one in the grade above us?"
"Yeah! I think that's his girlfriend sitting there."
...
"She's not that hot."
"I know, right? I mean, she's cute and all, but then it all ends there for her. I don't know what he sees in her."
"Me neither."
"I don't think she deserves him, to be honest."
"Haha, same."
"Apparently, they've been together for like, a year."
"Not for any longer!"
"Marlene, you are so bad!"
...
"So, I bought you - what's wrong?"
"Nothing. What's this combination?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Okay... And it's mango and pineapple, because I know how much you like pineapples."
...
"Oh my God, Cooper, that is so inappropriate!"
"Hahahaha! Well, you know. It's true, right?"
"Go away."
...
"Oh my GOD, you're Cooper!"
"Uh, hi?"
"Hi! I'm Marlene! It's so nice to finally meet you."
"... It is?"
"Duh! You were like, the most popular kid in school. I always wanted to talk to you but I was a little shy..."
"You should've said hi. I wouldn't have minded."
"Oh, you're so nice!"
"Thank you. Uh, this is my girlfriend, Hazel."
"Oh, HI! Didn't see you there!"
"Hey, um, Marlene, right? Nice to meet you."
"You too!"
...
"So, Cooper, where are going for college?"
"I'm gonna go UCLA."
"Oh, cool! I hear they have the best football program!"
"Haha, yeah."
"Do you think you're going to join them?"
"Nah, I'm gonna pass."
"Awwww! I would've watched all the matches specially because of you!"
"That's sweet of you."
"Haha, I'm sugary sweet, in many different ways."
"Cool."
...
"I guess I'll see you around. Bye Cooper! Bye Basil!"
"Bye!"
"It's Hazel."
...
"She was nice."
"She called me Basil."
"Yeah, that was pretty dopey of her."
"Mhm."
...
"Remember when we first met and I called you Hailey?"
"I remember."
...
"Hazel, are you sure you're okay? Because, I don't know, something's a little off."
"I'm okay, just that... Nah, it's fine."
"You can tell me."
"It's just that... I can't taste the pineapple in my ice cream and it's really bugging me."
...
"You know how much I like pineapple."
