Why would his boyfriend say that?

Yeah, I don’t like him either.

Stop at the depanneur on our way?

Nestea is getting discontinued, I’m going to kill myself.

Hey, I’m downstairs.

I love your place, it’s so you.

Oh, I didn’t know you guys broke up. When?

                                            (guys omg you’ll never guess who broke up-)

What metro line are we taking, green or orange?

Did you know her dad bought her that apartment?

What are you writing these days?

Do they know we’re downstairs?

Where should I leave my jacket?

Hi, it’s been a while.

I thought you were graduating this semester?

Thanks, I’m glad you liked the play.

I thought it should’ve won too. Let’s not talk about it.

Glad you liked it. Do you even know my name?

Do you think anyone will notice if I leave early?

Which shoes in this pile are mine?

Wow, it’s really starting to come down.

I’m okay, the stairs were just wet. Go back to your cigarette.

Uber pour Caroline? Ouais, merci

Can someone let me in? I’m downstairs.

Thanks for the invite – happy birthday!

         Oh, it’s your cat’s birthday?

                     Why are your Nortons on top of your kitchen cupboards?

                                 Can you put the cat sticker on my hand instead?

                                             Wanna go smoke on the fire escape? I’m boiling in here.

                                                         No, I don’t think you should get his bite mark tattooed

                                                                     Yes, even if your boyfriend wants you to.

                                                         My socks are soaked through. Split another cig?

                                             Who just arrived? Oh god.

                                 Yeah, I came here. Should’ve told you I was leaving.

                     I’m sorry you didn’t get to say goodbye.

         Honestly, I didn’t think you’d notice.

I think we should’ve won too.

         Thank you for making art with me.

                     Did you know Ringo Starr makes art in Microsoft Paint?

                                 Huh. I guess these people actually like me.

                                             That’s never occurred to me before.

                                                         He does, it’s really terrible. Want to see?

                                                                     Tell everyone the great god Pan is dead, right?

                                                         I’m pretty good at an ending line.

                                             It’s been a lot of fun. Don’t be a stranger.

                                 I’m glad you came. Careful on the stairs.

                     I’m not ready to say goodnight. Wanna get food?

         But the one on St Laurent will be slammed.

Okay, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

         You know, this is just like that Scorsese film-

                     Come on, After Hours? Griffin Dunne?

                                 Why don’t you just go home?

                                             Pal, I’ve been asking myself that all night.

                                                         Whatever, you’d get it if you’d seen it.

                                                                     Hey. I love you guys. Let’s know each other forever
