Slinky: "Oh we could! Interspersed with jokes about llamas and an annual burning of effigies"

T:"Okay, about that llama joke. Look, the truth is that I find you incredibly attractive and very intelligent, so I felt like a nervous schoolboy and talked like one.So that didn't help. But I think you'd get bored of me pretty quick."

Slinky:"Why do you say that?"

T:"I'm just saying that some guy would come along that swept you off your feet. I'd be dust in a second. You deserve some educated, wealthy, handsome, sporty guy that works for national intelligence. Go get him!"

T: "Why, is it working??"
