A: "The day has come."

E: "I'm regretting my decision to pinky promise whatever we're about to do."

A: "You're not going to regret it."

E: "I'll be the judge of that. You've brought me out here on a cold night bundled up in an uncomfortable amount of layers. Nothing good can come out of this."

A: "Eli, are you ready for your surprise?"

E: "Not really."

A: "As you know, it's only a few days until Christmas..."

E: "You're a clever one."

A: "And we're going to follow another tradition."

E: "You and your completely irrelevant traditions, how many traditions can Christmas - oh God, you haven't?"

A: "Hmm?"

E: "You're not making me go Christmas caroling, are you?"

A:"I am."

E: "I refuse."

A: "No you don't."

E: "Pretty sure I do."

A: "You pinky promised me, the rules of pinky promising is that you can't break it!"

E: "Rules are made to be broken."

A: "Not when I have control over Pringle's housing arrangements."

E: "You're blackmailing me using our cat?"

A: "Yes."

E: "You're holding our cat as ransom?"

A: "That is correct."

E: "I hate you so much right now."

A: "I don't think you do. Come on, Eli, I want to hear you sing first in case, although I know you won't be, you're bad!"

E: "You're going to make me embarrass myself in front of your neighbours!"

A: "I sense that you're good."

E: "You can sense it?"

A: "Don't pick at my word choice, sing, boy, the whole world and I are waiting."

E: "...what do I even sing?"

A: "Whatever your heart desires."

E: "My heart desires me to go home."

A: "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

E: "I hate you."

A: "Sure, sure."

E: "Does it have to be a Christmas song?"

A: "I said, whatever your heart desires."

E: "...but darling I'd still catch a grenade for you..."

A: "..."

E: "...throw my hand on a blade for you, I'd jump in front of a train for you..."

A: "..."

E: "...yes I would die for you, baby - oh, God, I missed out some lines, that was really bad, I can't do Christmas caroling!"

A: "..."

E: "Aeryn, close your mouth, you're going to catch flies. Was it seriously that bad that you're in a state of paralysis?"

A: "Bloody hell, Eli."

E: "Um..."

A: "That was beautiful."

E: "It was?"

A: "One day you're going to be famous."

E: "That would be nice."

A: "...and you're going to buy me lots of things with all the money."

E: "Hmm, I don't think so."

A: "You know you're amazing, don't you, Eli?"

E: "Thank you, Aeryn."

A: "..."

E: "I know."

A: "And there's the arrogance."
