"Danny, have you heard of the tv show Catfish?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, what if I was catfishing you? I might not even be Abi Dearest."
"Bullshit. If you're not Abi Dearest, then I'm not Danny Sanderson. How 'bout that?"
"I'm your conscience."
"I'm your imaginary friend."
"What the—fuck ever...I'm your crazy ex-girlfriend."
"You don't even know who my ex-girlfriend is..."
"Yeah I do. Wasn't it Julie Tatherson?"
"Uh, yeah..."
"See, then I might as well be her!"
"But she isn't crazy. Well, she isn't crazy, but..."
"But what?"
"You're quasi-evil. You're semi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie: not evil enough."
"Are you quoting Austin Powers?"
"Dr Evil, specifically speaking."
"Well, that was a pretty good impression."
"Already know you that which you need."
"What? Sounds like something from star wars."
"Yoda."
"The little green dude?"
"All I can be is me — whoever that is."
"Are you singing?"
"Yeah. I'm Bob Dylan. This is who I've been all along."
"Last week I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal and I talked her out of buying this truly heinous angora sweater. Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed."
"Oh my gosh, you're quoting the blonde chick from Legally Blonde."
"I'm Elle Woods. Btw, I'm a bit disturbed you'd know the movie."
"Stop sounding like a barbie."
"Stop sounding like Star Wars then."
"But not as serious as yours, I fear."
"The Dark Night Rises?"
"Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?"
"Tell me this, what are you afraid of Danny?"
"Myself."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Danny are you still there?"
"Yeah. I was being Charlie Chaplin."
