Okay, I’ll see you in a couple of hours. You’ll meet me at the gate, right?
Of course. I’m really looking forward to seeing you.
Really?
Yes.
Really?
Yes! I like you.
How much do you like me?
On a scale from zero to ten?
Yes.
On a scale from zero to ten, I like you, like, at least fifteen. No, like at least twenty-five.
Wow, twenty-five. That’s a lot.
I told you.
Want to know how much I like you?
Sure.
On a scale from zero to ten, I like you….a squid!
Oh ho ho! A squid! Well, I like you a two-toed sloth.
I like you a hamster.
I like you a swordfish.
I like you a frog.
A regular frog or a poison tree frog?
How can you doubt me? Of course a poison tree frog!
Oh, honey. How sweet.
I also like you a saber tooth tiger.
And I like you a chambered nautilus.
I like you a cuttlefish.
Aw, cuddle-fish! Those are so cool.
I know. I love those.
Those are very nice.
They are.
So are you.
Thanks. You too.
In fact, you’re so nice that I’d venture to say I like you… another squid!
Well, I like you another squid too…with pie.
