Dad
Hey, kid!
You
Goodmorning, dad... (It's too early for this.)
Dad
What the hell do you mean "goodmorning"? It's just about afternoon!
You
...Ah... (Shit! That means I'm really late for work. Whatever, might as well take the day off.)

Dad

You
Uh- yeah, sure. That's fine. Well, I'll see you then. Bye.
Dad
See you then, bye.
