LOVE AND OTHER SIM CARDS

CREW

Hello, Clarice.

MERIT

Jesus. I forgot you had my number.

CREW

You mean you don’t have me saved as Big, Buff Bad Boy?

MERIT

Yeah, not the ‘B’ word I’d use.

CREW

I love this little thing we do—you insult me, I pretend to hate it. It’s so us.

MERIT

You do know this number was given to you for emergencies only, right?

CREW

This is an emergency. I’m suffering from a Merit-deficit.

MERIT

We literally saw each other today.

CREW

Yeah, a whole three hours ago.

MERIT

Has anyone ever told you that you’re clingy?

CREW

I’m likable. There’s a difference.

MERIT

More like stalkerish.

CREW

Deny it all you want, Princess. You’re the one still texting me.

MERIT

Ugh, do you have an off switch?

CREW

I have an on one.

MERIT

That’s disgusting.

CREW

So you admit it—you were thinking about my dick.

MERIT

What? No! Only because you implied it!

CREW

Merit, I’m so flattered.

MERIT

I’m going to kill you.

CREW

Oh, no. Not your hands around my neck. Yeah, that’s definitely something I don’t want.
