Ally: I just don’t see the point of waiting. What if I die eating my vindaloo?

A Request for Help in Conversation

Tyler: Excuse me. Can I bother you for a second?

Ally: You’re already bothering me.

Tyler: Listen, I’m doing this sociological experiment, and I was just wondering if you could help me out for a second.

Ally: You're kidding right?

Tyler: Can I ask your name?

Ally: Anonymous..

Tyler: Anonymous? Is that Greek? Ok, anonymous, do you see that guy sitting over there pretending to read a textbook looking in this general direction?

Ally: Yeah, staring at us? Subtle.

Tyler: See I have this theory that an objective third party such as yourself can determine how much of an asshole he is by just looking at him. See, I'm his roommate and I think that I have witnessed too many glaring examples of assoholic behaviour that I'm biased as a subject. But I'm convinced that he has an aura that you can actually perceive.

Ally: Who else do you plan on asking?

Tyler: I don’t know. I don’t think anybody else here fits the criteria. Attractive blonde, early twenties, female.

Ally: Ah! Nineteen, so..

Tyler: Nineteen...That's fine. Teens. I can do teens. Well, typically you get something for being involved in one of these surveys, I - I ran out of my foam fingers a while back so, I don’t know, can I take you out to dinner or something? Maybe just a conversation on the off chance that one of us says something interesting?

Ally: Yeah, there is a problem there, ‘cause I don’t date sociology majors.

Tyler: Lucky for you I’m undecided

Ally: About what?

Tyler: Everything.

Ally: I’m Ally.
