Benedict: WTF, YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL SPREADSHEET

Janie: No need to yell about it.

Benedict: AND YOU ALSO DO THIS WITH LUNCH?!

Janie: It’s simple. It’s very Steve Jobs of me.

Benedict: The Apple man?

Janie: The genius who wore the same thing every day, yes.

Benedict: Yet you like to mix up your clothes?

Janie: Only for special occasions.

Benedict: I am deeply confused. And concerned.

Benedict: Are these at least your absolute favorite meals?

Janie: Does it look like it?

Benedict: Again…not calling you right now. Another trophy please.

Janie: [trophy emoji]

Benedict: But seriously, Janelle, pitch this spreadsheet in the damn bin, you don’t need to be on a budget anymore. If you’re going to eat the same things over and over they should be your favorites.

Janie: I appreciate what you’re saying but these are simple meals. I’m not much of a cook.

Benedict: We will be discussing this at length this weekend. Prepare yourself.

Janie: You know what? I think I’m coming down with something. Better stay here.

Benedict: Not happening.

Janie: We’ll see.

Janie: Where are you?

Benedict: What does it look like to you, genuinely asking

Janie: A lobby?

Benedict: Does it look like a hospital waiting room to you?

Janie: What??!?!!? Are you in the hospital?!

Benedict: No, I’m fine.
