No narration. Just speech.
"I don't like this."
"What?"
"I said, I don't like this."
"I heard what you said, I just have no idea what you're talking about."
"This. I don't like it."
"Okay, but what is 'this'?"
"This, right here."
"You mean the restaurant?"
"No."
"The booth?"
"No."
"Do you mean you and me sitting here in this booth in this restaurant?"
"No, of course not. I'm delightful, and that wears off on you and makes you a better person."
"Thanks?"
"You're welcome. No, I mean the silence."
"What silence?"
"When we're just sitting here not talking. That silence."
"Okay... but we're talking now."
"Right."
"So how can you say you hate this when the 'this' you're referring to isn't going on any more?"
"Because right up until I said it, it was going on."
"But by saying it you stopped it, removing the thing you don't like."
"And as such I defeated it. Mission accomplished. Well done, me."
"Sometimes I wonder whether you listen to yourself speak."
"All the time. It's one of my favourite things."
"I don't doubt that for a second."
"Thanks, I knew you believed in me as much as I believe in me."
"I don't think anyone believes in you as much as you do."
"I'm certain you're right. Well done."
"You know, one of these days your overconfidence is going to catch up to you."
"Perhaps. But it is not this day."
"Frankly, I'm surprised you're not a cult leader."
"What makes you think I'm not one?"
"Are you a cult leader?"
"No, those guys are weirdos."
"Not fit to clean your shoes?"
"Not fit to look at my shoes."
"What about me?"
"You can look at them."
"But do not touch?"
"Why would you want to touch my shoes?"
"I don't."
"I'm starting to think you're weird."
"I'm starting to think I should go."
"You're probably right."
"Can I be honest?"
"I encourage it."
"This isn't the worst first date I've been on, but it's certainly up there."
"I'm sure it's among the best."
"I have no doubt you think that. Have a good night."
"I will."
