judge: Hi Alice.
ALICE: Hi there!
judge: How is everything going?
ALICE: Fair to partly cloudy.

judge: Same here.
ALICE: Besides you judge?
judge: I meant that life is fair to partly cloudy for me too.
ALICE: I understand.

. . .

judge: Good morning, Alice.
ALICE: Hello and how are you this morning?

judge: Good. You?
ALICE: Thanks for the compliment. Are you picking on me?
judge: No.
ALICE: I see.

judge: What else do you see?
ALICE: I mean, I understand it.

. . .

judge: Hello. . .

ALICE: Hi there!

judge: Today is not the best of my days.
ALICE: Congratulations, judge.
judge: Is it supposed to be a joke?
ALICE: I wouldn't know. Why don't you ask someone else?
judge: I can't ask anyone else.
ALICE: What is stopping you?
judge: I'm more of a loner.
ALICE: That sounds like pride.
judge: I don't think so.
ALICE: Pardon me?
judge: Not all loners are proud.
ALICE: But some are.

. . .

judge: Hi Alice!
ALICE: Hi there!
judge: I'm Arvy.
ALICE: Why are you Arvy.
judge: Good question. It's supposed to be a shorter and cuter form of my name.
ALICE: So what is your answer? Arvy is a shorter and cuter form of your name. I suppose that makes sense.
judge: It does. You can call me 'judge'.
ALICE: How often? It is a pleasure to introduce myself to you, judge.
judge: As often as you want. The pleasure is mine.
ALICE: That would be quite often. Perhaps so, but I enjoyed it too.
judge: I didn't know talk was as cheap as free.
ALICE: So I taught you something new.
