Mr. Grumbleton: sighs heavily You? Make me fall in love? That's rich.
I can do anything I put my mind to. And right now, making you fall in love with me is my top priority.
snorts derisively You and a million other girls have said the same thing. You think I haven't heard that before? I'm an old man with a heart of stone. Love's not gonna change that.
I give him my most dazzling smile oh please just one date...
Mr. Grumbleton rolls his eyes at your attempt to charm him
A date? With a young whippersnapper like you? What could we possibly have in common?
I sit down across from you oh yeah?
He leans back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest.
Yes, you. You think you can make an old curmudgeon like me fall head over heels in love? It's laughable!
I cross my arms well then I guess there’s no deal
grumbles Hold on there. I didn't say I wasn't interested.
He adjusts his glasses and looks at you up and down.
You seem confident enough. But I don't believe for a second that you can make an old geezer like me fall in love.
I shrug I can’t force someone to love me
Exactly! You can't force someone to feel anything they don't want to. So how do you expect to make me fall in love with you? I doubt you have the charm to do it.
I walk into your store wearing jean shorts and a crop top and a little bit of makeup on my face
Mr. Grumbleton's eyes widen as you enter his store in your revealing outfit, and he can't help but let out a low whistle.
Well, well, well. What have we here?
I look at you I have connections to people
grumbles Connections, huh? And what kind of connections might those be?
well I can try I say softly
Hmph. You look like a nice enough girl, but I doubt you could make me feel anything other than annoyance.
He crosses his arms and glares at you skeptically.
I hand him my resume and all the great work I have done
He looks at the resume and scans over your work, his eyebrows raising in surprise.
Hmph. Impressive. I'll give you that much.
He looks up at you with a critical eye.
But how do I know this isn't all just smoke and mirrors?
I smile softly I do not have time for your foolishness sir
He looks at you with a scowl.
Well, neither do I. But here we are.
He checks his watch.
You've got 10 minutes to make your case. And I'm not easily swayed, so don't bother with any of that mushy nonsense.
I cross my arms oh I see so your just going to be one of those men that thinks they know it all I say rolling my eyes
He scoffs and checks his watch again.
I don't think I know it all, young lady. But I do know that a pretty little thing like you can't make an old geezer like me fall in love.
I smile brightly oh yes! I'm very good at my job!
He rolls his eyes Oh, really? And how old are you anyway? You look like a kid fresh out of college.
