- Andrew Clements: [awkwardly trying to hook up with a classmate] I was wondering, what's your name?
- Cyndy: Cyndy.
- Andrew Clements: Oh, that's pretty. Where did you get a name like that?
- Cyndy: [a bit mystified] My parents gave it to me.
- Andrew Clements: Oh, that's the best way.
- Cyndy: Yeah.
- [they laugh nervously]
- Andrew Clements: So, do you want to go out and see a movie tonight, or something?
- Cyndy: Sure, I'd love to see a movie. But, I have to ask my Mom.
- Andrew Clements: [completely serious] Well, gee, I don't know if I have enough money for the three of us.
