Hey, Skylar?

Yeah?

WILL:

It's Will, the really funny good looking guy you met at the bar?

SKYLAR:

I'm sorry, I don't recall meeting anyone who fits that description.

WILL:

Okay, you got me. It's the ugly, obnoxious, toothless loser who got drunk and wouldn't leave you alone all night.

SKYLAR:

Oh Will! I was wondering when you'd call.
