[invoking]

Yes, I can!

[wisecracked]

Hmm, I guess I'll have to pick out a better passage. [It even sounds like she's flipping through a book now.]

[invoking]

[ GETTING HIVES. ]

No don't read anymore!!

[wisecracked]

You sure? You might like this one.

[invoking]

I don't want to hear anymore of it!

[wisecracked]

A'ight, fine.

[A pause.] So yeah, I had a reason for calling.

[invoking]

[ ... There's a "reason"? ]

What is it?

[wisecracked]

Prom.

[invoking]

... Prom?

[wisecracked]

Yeah, a big dance the Institute is throwing. I never got to go to prom so figured I might as well take the chance now. Buuuut...can't go alone.

[invoking]

[ A beat.

Then: ]

No.

[wisecracked]

Awwww, c'moooooooon.

[invoking]

Isn't it a school for kids?

[wisecracked]

They said it was open to anyone.

[invoking]

Can't you ask someone else?

[wisecracked]

No.

[invoking]

Why not?

[wisecracked]

Because I don't want to go with anyone else.

1/2

[invoking]

With me? Can't you ask Kang or Piccolo?

[wisecracked]

Yes, you.

I could but they'd be kind of hard to dance with, y'know, being, like, seven foot tall and all that. [Not that she isn't going to talk them into going.]

[invoking]

[ He gulps. ]

What about Julian?

[wisecracked]

Julian has a girlfriend. If he's gonna go he'd take her.

[invoking]

There's really no one else? [ She knows he's no good with socializing. ]

[wisecracked]

[There probably is someone else she could ask. Heck, if she posted to the network she might get a few takers but...] Nope.
