" Sure, Newt." "I'd be happy to." " Oh, by the way, if you get hungry, it's got edible petals." " Oh, hey." " Oh, hey, I got your text." "What's up?" " I wanted to talk to you about Saturday." "I think you're really cool, but I don't think we can go out." " Why not?" " Because you're the enemy and I don't want to burn down the school in a tragic love fire." "I mean..." "I'm a Bulldog and you're a Cobra." "We're at war." "We can't do this." " Look, I knew who you were when I asked you out, and I didn't care, so why should you?" " Because it's more complicated for me." " Because of the love fire?" " No." "Because I'm the only girl on the team and the guys would not understand." " Well, just don't tell them until after the game." " Yeah, but what if" "I mean, I could, but" "They might" "You know what?" "That could work." " Okay, then." "Problem solved."
