the telephone and even if she is

good-looking

I mean what's she gonna think of a guy

like you hi Oliver she might think I'm

funny no funny to look at kids you don't

know everything

Laurel is a warm sensitive woman

sensitive

well that means she has a face like a

flounder but what you're trying to say

is this could be a bad idea

believe me Allie in cases like this it's

better to be safe than sorry

don't listen to him he's just jealous

yeah Oliver I've never met a cleaver I

didn't like

yeah that's the advantage of having a

big brother yes someone to look out for

your welfare

had this blind date have you talked to

her yeah twice and we got along great

well what's the problem well I don't

know I mean what if she turned out to be

Oh a dog or a weirdo or something honey
