“Who was the first person to walk on the moon?”
Ellie sighed. “Seriously? If you are going to try to stump me, you need to come at me with something better than a fifth-grade question.”

“First of all, you don’t date. Remember? And you think I’m the kind of girl who goes out with a guy like you?”

“You’re a hundred times more beautiful than her.”
