A:
That's what I told him!
B:
Hey, can you do me a favor tonight?
A:
You know you're my true love, my sweet. I'd die for you. I'd kill for you. I'd swim the ocean for you. A single word from you and my life is forfeit. You're the reason I go to work in the morning, and the reason I return. You're the reason I sleep, dreaming of you, and the reason I wake. You're the bedrock of my life, and the core of my being; you're my Alpha and Omega, my Beginning and my End.
B:
Great. I forgot I had to present at group meeting tonight, and I have to stay here until nine to pull my sample out, so do you mind making the casserole tonight, and bringing me some here at work? It's all made up and everything, just throw it in the oven, 375 for like 45 minutes, and
A:
Eeeeeh. See, yeah. I'm kind of supposed to play Borderlands with Tom and Mark tonight.
B:
Yeah, I know, you can play while it's cooking, take a break for 20 minutes while you swing by here to drop it off, then get back to it.
A:
Well, it's not really "swinging by", right? I mean, I would have to leave the apartment and everything, so
B:
Well, sure, but school is only a mile and a half away. It'd be 15 minutes, tops.
A:
Yeah. It's hard, though, because, I really have no problem driving back and everything, but we're taking on Mad Moxxi tonight, and she's really tough. Like REALLY tough. I can't leave Tom and Mark to fend for themselves
B:
But
A:
They'd get stomped! They need me, you know? I can't let them down. Tom even cancelled plans to play tonight.
B:
It's 15 minutes
A:
Well, yeah, but that's an eternity in Borderlands!
B:
Forget it!
A:
Do you really want me to drive back?
B:
Yes!
A:
I mean, like REALLY REALLY want me to? Because I could probably call Tom and Mark, and apologize and cancel and everything, but I know Tom will be mad, so I really don't want to.
B:
Forget it.
A:
Are you sure? Shew, thanks baby, you're the best, you really
B:
What was all that about dying for me? Whatever happened to that? This is dipping a casserole and three miles of driving.
A:
Well... you know. I WOULD die for you, if you really needed it. Like, I don't know. A convict was going to shoot one of us or something.
B:
That doesn't happen! Life-or-death situations don't happen in the real world. This is the kind of situation that actually happens, that gives you a chance to demonstrate your love.
A:
Well, I mean. Maybe. But if a life-or-death situation actually DOES happen, I'll be there. And my thoughtless sacrifice will make up for tonight.
B:
And last weekend? When you played Borderlands all Saturday, and I had to buy an expensive crappy lunch at Tech Express?
A:
Yeah. That one too.
