"Dude."

"Bro."

"Dude, look at that chick."

"Bro, what chick?"

"Dude, that chick."

"Bro, really, what chick?"

"Dude, that chick right there."

"Bro, I think that's a dude."

"Dude, no, that's a chick."

"Bro, look at her muscles. That's a dude."

"Dude, look at her chest. That's a chick."

"Bro, I'm telling you, her abs are bigger than mine. That's a dude."

"Dude, look at the way her hair flows down all gracefully, and those cheekbones. That's definitely a chick."

"Bro, are you okay? You got all intellectual for a sec."

"Dude, I think I might be having a stroke."

"Bro, that sucks."

"Dude, I know."

"Bro, but seriously, I'll bet you fifty push ups that's a dude."

"Dude, I'll bet you a hundred pull ups she's a chick."

"Bro, I'll bet you twenty power cleans she's a dude."

"Dude, I'll bet you thirty deadlifts she's a chick."

"You two know that you sound like idiots, right? And that other people can hear you?"

"Bro, who're you?"

"Dude, you're the one who sounds like an idiot."

"What are you two even arguing about?"

"Dude, my dude thinks that chick right there's a dude."

"That's Amanda. She's awesome."

"Dude, I told you she's a chick!"

"No, she's not a 'chick,' she's a woman. She's smarter than both of you put together, and by the looks of you she's stronger than you both too."

"Bro, that's not cool. I can squat 200."

"Dude, yeah, that's not cool. I can deadlift 300."

"Those are both less than what the warms up with."

"Bro, that's sick."

"Dude, that can't be right."

"Bro, I think he's lying to us."

"Dude, I know. We should go talk to her."

"I'll bet neither of you have the balls to even say hi to her."

"Dude, I'll say hi to her right now."

"Bro, you can't stop me from saying hi to her."

"Good. I'll call her over. Hey Amanda!"

"Yeah?"

"Could you come over here for a minute?"

"Sure, just let me rep out."

"Bro, what are you doing?"

"Dude, what are you doing?"

"Bro, you're gonna make us look bad in front of the hotties."

"I thought you said you were going to say hi to her. This is your chance. You don't even have to move, she's coming to you."

"Dude, what's she doing?"

"Bro, it looks like she's doing pull ups with an extra 90 pounds."

"Dude, can you do that?"

"Bro, I can't. Can you?"

"Dude, I can't."

"Bro, I told you she's a dude!"

"Dude, here she comes."

"Hey Scott, what's up?"

"Amanda, hey. These two fine gentlemen were just telling me how much they admire your fitness, and they wanted to introduce themselves."

"Oh. Hi, I'm Amanda."

"Dude."

"Bro."

"I'm neither of those, but hey."

"Dude, I told you."

"Bro, you did tell me. I'll never doubt you again."

"I'm very confused."

"Oh, I forgot to mention that; they were actually arguing over whether you're a man because you're stronger than they are."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Dude, why would you sell my bro out like that?"

"I didn't - I sold you both out like that."

"Bro, that's not cool."

"Dude, that's so not cool."

"I don't think either of you are cool. Scott, are these guys for real?"

"I'm afraid so. I mean, as far as I can tell they are anyway."

"That's so sad."

"Dude, how did you get so strong?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Dude, I do."

"Okay. First stop calling me dude."

"Dude, okay. I mean... okay. How did you get so strong?"

"The truth?"

"Du- I mean, yes please."

"I train hard and eat right, and I don't give up just because it gets hard."

"Bro, ask her why."

"Dude, I will, shut up. Erm... why?"

"Because strong girls are hot."

"Dude."

"And because maintaining a general level of fitness leads to less heart disease and a generally more healthy body, and I like having this much energy."

"I told you she was smart."

"Aw, that's sweet."

"Thanks."

"I need to go finish my workout though. I'll see you later hun. And you two... get smarter. You're not reaching your potential. Be better than that."

"Dude, I told you I could talk to her!"

"Bro, yeah, we told you we could talk to her!"

"Dude, I did all the talking; you were just standing there."

"Bro, I was standing here like a boss."

"Dude, you were."

"Doesn't one of you have to do five hundred crunches or something? That was a lot of betting you did."

"Bro, that's right. I lost."

"Dude, you're gonna get ripped though."

"I think you should both do all of those exercises."

"Dude, why? I won the bet."

"Because maybe if you actually apply yourself in here, rather than just calling each other 'dude' and 'bro' all the time, you'll be able to do what she can do. Then maybe you won't be out-muscled by a woman six inches shorter than you."

"Dude, but it was a bet."

"Maybe, but you both failed your bet with me."

"Bro, what are you talking about?"

"Neither of you ever said hi."

"Dude."

"Bro."

"Dude, he's right."

"Bro, we're gonna get swole."

"Dude, wait, why did she call you hun?"

"Because she's my wife."

"Bro, you married her?"

"What can I say? Strong girls are hot."
