SAWYER

Tucker

We going Christmas shopping this week or what?

Tank

But there’s so many PEOPLE out there.

Max

I’m with Tank. What happened to good ole online shopping and avoiding all the people cracked out on peppermint mocha and the need to touch every damn thing in a store while Christmas music plays so loud you can’t hear yourself think.

Tank

Right? What’s with that? It’s like they’re trying to brainwash you with cheerful nutcracker music so you end up buying way more than you actually need to.

Tucker

Oh my fucking God Scrooge and Scrooge Junior. Lighten the hell up. Do I HAVE to remind you we’re shopping for your families just so you’ll stop your whining?

Me

And this happens ANNUALLY?

Tucker

Yes, and it gets worse every year.

Me

Wait, you guys always shop together for Christmas? How sweet.

Max

There’s strength in numbers.

Tank

Someone’s always got your back.

Me

Little scared of this energy, but I’m down. Maybe you guys can help me figure out what to buy Leah.

Tucker

That’s the spirit!

Max

Someone sedate Cindy Lou Who please.

Tucker

I always knew I’d be the one to make your heart grow three sizes

Tank
