FORD: Just settling into my seat.
FORD: You watched the game?
JULIET: I’m offended you think I wouldn’t watch the game.
FORD: You hate baseball.
JULIET: I do not.
FORD: You went on a forty minute rant about how it should not be considered America’s pastime because of how boring it is.
JULIET: Okay, fine. It was on at the house I was cleaning and I may have lingered in the living room longer than necessary to see the last two innings.
FORD: What have I told you about mentioning your work at Bare Necessities?
JULIET: That you are an uptight pretentious asshole who would rather picture me dressed as a nun for the rest of my life?
FORD: Very funny.
FORD: I’m pretty sure I said that while I love and encourage your drive and independence, I don’t want to be reminded that there are men in this world besides my stepbrother that have seen you naked.
JULIET: Same thing.
JULIET: And it’s topless not naked.
FORD: Same thing.
FORD: Would you like it if I told you about all the cleat chasers who wait for me at the hotel hoping I’ll take them upstairs?
JULIET: If you did at least I’d know you’re not as celibate as Paige thinks you are.
FORD: Celibate?
JULIET: She said it’s been awhile since you’ve been seen out with any of those women who go to games hoping to bag one of the players.
JULIET: And also, she wants to meet you.
FORD: Paige? Doesn’t she hate me?
JULIET: Probably. But for some reason she loves me. So you get us as a package deal.
FORD: Lucky me.
FORD: But for the record, it’s because you’re easy to love.
JULIET: I’m not sure how to respond to that.
FORD: You don’t have to.
FORD: Is everything okay?
JULIET: Why would it not be?
FORD: You never text me first.
JULIET: Is it so weird to think I just wanted to make sure you were okay after that loss?
FORD: Usually I have to beg for you to respond at all.
