A Dialogue, No tags, Completely made up by me

Two speakers, twenty-something man and woman, at work.

-Are we friends?

-Of course we’re friends. Why would you even ask that?

-We don’t have anything in common except for this job. We only see each other at work.

-So?

-So. Aren’t we just co-workers? Don’t friends do things together sometimes?

-Like what?

-Like. Just hanging out. Like you and Mike.

-Mike and I have known each other since we were in diapers. And the only thing we hang out doing is playing video games.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. So. you don’t play video games.

-Nobody ever asked me.

-Dude.

-Ok. Ok. How about parties?

-Neither of us has parties.

-No, but we’ve never been at someone else’s party at the same time. No friends in common.

-Neither of us even goes to parties.

-Why is that?

-Because we’re too busy.

-Maybe.

-And we never hang out anywhere else because we have no money.

-True.

-The real truth is, I spend more time with you—here at work—than anyone else I know—

-Except Heather.

-Even Heather! I’ve seen you more this week than I’ve seen her.

-We should have a party.
