Shepard:Anyway, I’m going to talk to AJ about it tonight. I know you already told Allie…do you think she’d freak if AJ changed it to a promise ring?
Denver:No. I’ll just lie and tell her I got them mixed up.
Denver:Easy peasy.
Shepard:Lying to your best friend is that easy?
Denver:I lie to her all the time. She always asks me if the outfit she’s wearing looks good and I always say yes.
Denver:Spoiler alert: it’s a 50/50 shot.
Shepard:I’m 97% certain you just broke girl code.
Denver:*shrug* It’s worth the extra 30 minutes we don’t spend going through her closet for another outfit.
Shepard:SHAME!
Denver:Shep?
Shepard:Yeah?
Denver:Shut up.

Denver:I’m a little jealous of what Allie and AJ have.
Denver:There. I owed you a secret.
Shepard:Well, you’re about to owe me another one…
Shepard:I’m a little jealous of them too.
Denver:GASP! You? Shepard Clark, the cynic?
Denver:Do I have the wrong number?
Shepard:Don’t you tell anyone!
Denver:I’m shocked.
Shepard:That I want companionship?
Shepard:Just because I don’t believe in forever or tying myself to one person for years and years doesn’t mean I’m a robot and have no feelings or needs.
Shepard:It’d just be nice to have…someone, ya know. Not necessarily a traditional relationship, but someone I can talk to and count on to always be there. And someone I can kiss on the regular.
Denver:What about your “girlfriend”?
Shepard:Penny is great, but I can’t really make out with her anymore.
Denver:Your fake girlfriend’s name is Penny? That’s awfully close to Denny…
Shepard:Don’t remind me.
Denver:You said “anymore”. I’m gonna need details.
Shepard:Penny and I used to ACTUALLY date.
