Rob: Come with me.
Magnolia: Where?!?
Rob: Anywhere but first, bed. I'll sleep if you're with me.
Rob: I was a perfect bedmate the last time we had a sleepover.
Rob: How about this: I'll pack now and then head up to your place. For sleeping. Promise.
Rob: Should I interpret your silence as disinterest in my suggestion?
Magnolia: For your information, I was conferring with Gronk. He gets a vote when it comes to sleepovers.
Rob: How did my furry friend vote?
Magnolia: As long as you don't mind him sharing your pillow, he's open to the idea.
Rob: And you? Are you open to the idea?
Magnolia: I consulted the dog, so…yeah. Get your ass up here.

Magnolia: I never asked my two-part question! And now I have another question.
Rob: Wait. What? Which two-part question?
Magnolia: From last week! Before you left for New York! You were procrastinating and I wasn't going to reward that behavior.
Rob: I was not procrastinating.
Magnolia: Sounded like procrastinating.
Rob: Ask your three questions while I'm between meetings and can't offend you with my procrastination or beg for an invitation to your bed.
Magnolia: Okay, let's do this.
Magnolia: 1 – when did you get your nose pierced?
Rob: When I was 19 and enormously stupid.
Magnolia: It was that bad?
Rob: Not the piercing, me. I was a self-absorbed jackass back then. I actually cringed thinking about that version of myself when you mentioned it.
Magnolia: Unlike the cringing you do when remembering how you introduced yourself to me by telling me your height, weight, and length?
Rob: Yes. Very much unlike that.
Rob: Next.
Magnolia: 2 – when did you take the piercing out?
Rob: Before I took the Series 7 exam to get my trader's license. That was a little more than 10 years ago. Seemed like the right time.
Magnolia: Do you miss it?
Rob: Was that the third question?
