[speaker001:] Okay, can I ask you something direct?
[speaker002:] Ha! It's not like you've ever been one to beat around the bush.
[speaker001:] Fair enough. Give it to me straight. Did she bully you into this?
[speaker002:] No, seriously... I really want this.
[speaker001:] I tell ya, when I got the invite, it really threw me for a loop. You've done a complete 180.
[speaker002:] I know. But things have changed. I guess I've settled down.
[speaker001:] I guess so.
