A: Someday, you'll say, 'I went to college with her!'
B: What about me?
A: I'll say that about you, too.
B: ...
A: And we'll see each other at the Grammy's. And we'll be all, 'Hello darling, I haven't seen you in soo long! How are you? Have you heard my new album? What did you think of it?' And it'll be like, 'Yeah I loved track three! And track five!' What did you think of mine?'
A: Should we go to orientation soon?
B: I don't care about orientation.
