‘Are you still here?’

‘Are you scared that I’ll leave without a word?’

‘A lot of people slip away when I’m not paying attention and never come back.’

‘You must’ve been through a lot.’

‘You’re so blunt.’

‘They all mean the same thing no matter how you say it. It doesn’t really matter.’

‘People will feel better if you soften your tone a bit.’

‘That’s lying.’

‘But I feel good afterwards.’

‘All you women are like this!’

‘Aren’t you men the same as well? Can’t handle your wives at home, and you all come here to me!’

‘Are you really not afraid that I’ll slip away?’

‘No. I am afraid. But I don’t just wanna fool anyone.’

‘No wonder I love you so much.’

‘You’re lying.’

‘Do you want me to be serious with you?’

‘Yes.’

‘Do you believe that I’ll be serious with you?’

‘No.’

‘You’re right. I won’t. And I hope that you’ll do the same as well.’

‘Of course! I’m a “professional”!’

‘Ha! You’re not even embarrassed! Look at you! You’re so proud of yourself when you said that!’

‘That’s why you like me so much.’

‘Right… After all I’m not a “professional”.’

‘Are you finally admitting that?’

‘... Can… you change jobs?’

‘Then I’ll go upstairs. Changing a boss counts as changing jobs.’

‘Answer me seriously!’

‘We should never take each other seriously.’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Oh! It’s time!’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Your underwear’s in the bathroom.’

‘Mhmm…’

‘I’ve checked your suit. No lipstick marks there.’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Oh no! Your tie’s a bit out of shape. Great! It’s straight now! There we go!’

‘Mhmm…’

‘That would be one thousand dollars!’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Goodbye.’

‘Wait for me!’

‘Don’t be silly!’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Wait! Is he the guy who used the funny money?’

‘No, he isn’t.’

‘I still have to make things clear with my boss.’

‘The real one’s in the closet. Here.’

‘Lemme take a good look at it.’

‘Can you let go of his tie first?’

‘It’s real. He can leave now.’

‘Should I still reserve the three-o’clock afternoon time slot on Friday for you?’

‘There’s a change in my work schedule. I’ll tell you again when it’s confirmed.’

‘Mhmm…’

‘Bye.’

‘Goodbye.’960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R7v9Mhq1p

‘Do you think he’ll come back?’

‘No.’

‘Will you wait for him?’

‘I won’t wait for him. And also not not wait for him.’

‘Can you give me a serious answer?’

‘I’m always serious!’

‘Need a ciggie?’

‘No.’

‘You don’t have to take the world too seriously.’

‘I know. But I like being serious.’

‘Actually, I’m also a serious person.’

‘All I see is that impish grin of yours though.’

‘What’s inside doesn’t have to be related to what’s on the outside.’

‘I also don’t have to be related to you.’

‘Never mind. Most importantly, I hope you aren’t waiting for him.’

‘And what does that have to do with you?’

‘Because I’m a serious person.’

‘You don’t have to take the world too seriously.’

‘I don’t plan on taking the world seriously. I want to be serious with you.’

‘... I have to take a call now. Bye.’

‘Wait! You take these back.’

‘Don’t be like that...’

‘Don’t worry! My wallet is heavier than my crotch!’

‘Don’t think that I don’t know how much play money you’ve covered for me before!’

‘... I love you.’

‘Mhmm. Bye.’
