What about you? Are you terrible at hockey?

I don’t think so

Others might disagree

RUDE

But some could say the same about me

Seems I really do need to ruffle some feathers on your behalf

Me too

Need me to fight the bullies on your behalf?

Nah

I can take it

Okay

I don’t know if I can throw a punch or not

After bowling, I’m taking you boxing

Throw in some beers, and we’ve got all the b’s covered for our first date

Just name the time and place and I’m there

Mars, seven, tomorrow night

I might be a bit late

My flying skills haven’t kicked in yet

Shame

Here I was ready to go

Maybe we can keep it to our planet instead…

Maybe…

If your plans keep you down here, let me know

“The Nashville Humane Society.”
