Jake We need to talk.

Mel Yeah?

Jake Well, I’ve been thinking.

Happy Mel And you do want to buy a horse? Hooray!

Jake No, no, I was thinking that maybe we should move in together.

Mel Buh?

Jake Well, why not? We see each other a lot, and it would be easier than trying to remember were we left stuff, right?

Mel Yeah. It would.

Jake So I thought, I mean, well? Wouldn’t that be cool?

Mel It could be.

Jake It could be? This is not the excitement I thought I would get.

Happy Mel No, it’s just awful sudden.

Happy Jake We’ve been going out for a while now, and I know your lease is up soon, and mine is too, so why not strike while the iron is hot.

Mel I never got that.

Jake What?

Happy Mel Striking while the iron is hot. What are you striking You’re flattening shirts.

Happy Jake No, they meant blacksmithery, striking a piece of metal to shape it while the iron was hot. This was before handheld irons.

Happy Mel Oh! Well that makes more sense!

Happy Jake Yeah.

Mel So we should be all violent and stuff while things are heated up?

Happy Jake Uhm, I suppose.

Happy Mel You sure you wanna do this?

Jake I can’t think of a reason not to do this!

Mel Really?

Jake Honestly. Also, just think we could get a place with roof access.

Happy Mel You mean?

Happy Jake I do.

Happy Mel Water balloon dropping!

Happy Jake Yup!

Happy Mel Mark and Natasha will never forgive us!

Happy Jake They will eventually. After they dry off.

Happy Mel Hahahah! Awesome!

Happy Jake So let’s do this!
