Kristin: I can’t think of anyone else. Sorry.
Justin: Who was that annoying girl with Hilary before? She has red hair I think.
Kristin: Steph?
Justin: Yeah, I think that was her name, what’s her number?
Kristin: 352-***-****(Justin calls her up)
Steph: If your are calling for my brothers, they’re not here. So please hang up at the beep. BEEP.
Justin: I’m guessing this is Steph.
Steph: Ding, Ding, Ding! Johnny tell him what he’s won.
Justin: Is this a bad time?
Steph: Who is this?
Justin: What is this? 20 questions? I’m Justin Timber-
Steph(interrupting): OHMIGOD it’s Justin Timberlake. Yeah right, and I’m Britney Spears.
(Kristin grabs the phone and sings): Hit me baby one more time(hands the phone back to Justin)
Steph: Oops. My bad.
Justin: How much do you know about Hilary?
Steph: Well, for starters, she’s tomboy-like , and she stands up for herself, and she’s a real comedian, but there are sometimes she just doesn’t feel like being happy or crazy, and… why don’t you just ask Kristin?
Justin: Why didn’t I?
Steph: Betcha that bleach is getting to ya now, huh?
Justin: Ha ha. Uh…bye
Steph: Y’all call back now, ya hear?
Justin(clicks off): You let me call that girl when you knew I could ask you bout Hilary anywayz! That’s low.
Kristin: You didn’t ask. And you’re the one who called her.
Justin(realizes something): Damn! Steph and Chris would make a good couple.
Kristin(On the floor laughing): Oh, I forgot to tell you, she was dropped on her head as a baby.
Justin: Well, that explains everything. I think Chris was too. Now will you tell me more about her?
Kristin: Who?
Justin: Dumbass, Hilary.
Kristin: I can’t believe you just called Hilary a “dumbass”.
Justin: Not her. You.
Kristin: I thought we were talking about Hilary?
Justin: We are.
Kristin: Then why did you call her a “dumbass”?
Justin: Not her. You. I called you a dumbass. Now are you going to help me or just be a pain in the ass?
Kristin: I’m not helping you, now.
Justin: Why not?
Kristin: You called me a “dumbass”.
Justin: I’m sorry.
Kristin: Now scream, “I’m a dumbass” and I’ll be happy.
Justin(frustrated): I’M A DUMBASS!!!
JC(calling from the TV room): Already knew that!
Justin(shouts at JC): Shut up JC!(turns back to Kristin) Now will you please help me?
Kristin: One more favor. Then I’ll help.
Justin: You’re more complicated than Steph. What is it?
Kristin: Hook me up with Lance.
Justin: Sorry, God himself couldn’t pull off a miracle as such of your request.
Kristin: Fine! Than you can just go call up Steph again, she would surely want to talk to you.
Justin: Fine! I’ll talk to him, but no promises. Deal?
Kristin: Deal.
