I bet

Warren: Hey, do you see that girl over there? I bet I can get her number.

Freddie: What? No way. She’s out of your league.

Warren: Are you sure? Then put your money where your mouth is. Bet me 10 dollars!

Freddie: I’ll take that bet! That’s easy money.

——— Warren goes over, and soon comes back with the girl’s phone number ———

Warren: [smiling] Ten dollars, please.

Freddie: [handling over the money] Damn, how did you do that?

Warren: That girl I talked to … she’s my sister!

It’s for your own good

Honey: [looking in the cabinet] Hey, where are my cookies?

Kevin: I ate them all.

Honey: What? You ate my cookies?!

Kevin: Yes, but it’s for your own good. You said you’re on a diet, right?

Honey: Yeah, but … that doesn’t mean you can eat my stuff.

Kevin: I just want what’s best for you.

Honey: No, you don’t! Ugh, you’re so full of it!

Can you do me a favor?

Winston: Travis, can you do me a favor?

Travis: Sure!

Winston: I need someone to pick up my car from the repair shop.

Travis: No problem.

Winston: Thanks, you’re a lifesaver! Could you do it this afternoon?

Travis: Alright. Just let me know the address, and I’ll be there.

Winston: I’m glad I can count on you. I owe you one!

We’re close

Lizzie: Hey, I just saw you talking to James. I didn’t know you two were friends!

Hamid: Yeah, we’re pretty close. I’ve known him since I was a kid.

Lizzie: How did you first meet?

Hamid: Actually, we grew up together. He lived next door to us, so he’s kind of a family friend. How do you two know each other?

Lizzie: He’s in my class, but we’re not really close. He’s just a casual acquaintance of mine.

Hamid: You should get to know him better. He’s a great guy. I’m sure you two would really hit it off.

Cynthia: I was here for the training session last week.

Mr. Harris: Right, now I remember. I must have seen you there.

——— Mr. Harris excuses himself and leaves ———

Cynthia: Wow, I thought he would be strict, but he’s really kind.

Craig: Yep, Steve is very easygoing. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

How are your folks?

Nicole: Hey Wes, long time, no see!
