"... This is a different voice. Hi?"
"I understand, but I would honestly like to talk to someone specifically if that's okay. In another call, he told me he wore glasses...and has braces? Can you transfer the call to him?"
"No, I don't. All I can tell you that he's really mean, and doesn't seem like he's a happy person. Really sarcastic, but does promote the products at Target well. I guess. He's my therapist."
"I know, yes. And yes, this is the right number. I'm sure he's nerdish-looking so just go with your gut on this."
"C... Okay, thank you."
"...Hmm... his name starts with a C? Maybe a Chris, or Casper maybe. Nah, there's not a lot of Casper's out there. Chris definitely."
"Hello motherfucker! Why aren't you answering calls today?"
"When you made the mistake of talking to me. I'm just bored today and called hoping that you would answer the phone. How is restocking?"
"What's so important? What were you just doing?"
"Exactly. You do nothing. And besides, I just made your shift easier. All you have to do is wait for calls now instead of restocking. Thank me instead of being so mean."
"Who's this bitch?"
"... Although I saw that coming, I feel offended. I thought we were past the cursing and insulting?"
"I'm not crazy."
"Okay, asshole. Going back to the band-aids from yesterday, did you ever check to see if you have them?"
"You checked for me? That's so sweet -"
"Wow. You ruined the moment. A precious and sweet moment."
"Why are you suddenly so curious? I thought you don't give a damn about me. "
"...I need it to cover up my sexy arm. That's the simple answer."
"No, I didn't fall or burn myself. Hey...this is going to sound... like I'm depressed. But I swear I'm working on it-"
"...Am I supposed to apologize now? Sorry? Yeah, I'm sorry."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Hm? No, I'm not. What's up? What's going on with your own call?"
"'This girl'? I don't think there's anything that can make you a professional therapist, but we can check out some books and videos to just give that necessary comfort to your new...friend. I'll help you after my shift ends, okay? You end at five?"
"Of course. See you at five."
