[Cut to Mikey and Melissa]

Mikey: Hah! That is Isabelle.

Melissa: What?

Mikey: What’s up?

Melissa: I went up to Cherry and she said, “You’re garbage.” Does that dog Cherry ever say that to you?

Mikey: No. Cherry’s like, super nice. He just said, “It is a very pretty day today!”

Melissa: Oh, that’s weird.

Mikey: Yeah. I heard if you hit a rock with a shovel, like, one of them has bells that pop out of it.

Melissa: Oh, sweet. Hey, and be careful shaking too many trees. There’s a lot of bee– What the hell? Has Dom ever said, “You will always be alone” to you?

Mikey: No. It’s kind of mean.

Melissa: I know. Am I on the mean mode or something?

Mikey: There’s no mean mode. I don’t think. It’s a kids’ game. Oh, I’m gonna catch this tiger butterfly right now.

Melissa: Oh my god! Tom Nook just said, “I hope you get COVID.”

Mikey: Ha-ha. No, he did not.

Melissa: Yes, he did. And now he’s saying, “Door’s that way.”

Mikey: Meliss, just come to my town.

Melissa: Yeah. Get me out of here.

Mikey: Alright, I just opened my gate. Go to the airport and say you want to visit my town.

[Cut to the game. Melissa’s character is at the airport. The duck in the counter says “Do you want to visit another town?” Melissa selects “Yes” option. The duck says, “No.”]

Melissa: He just said no.

Mikey: Here. Ask him again.

Melissa: Okay.

[Cut to the game. Melissa’s character is at the airport. The duck in the counter says, “Did I stutter?”]

Mikey: Here, I’m going to come to your town. Stay there. Hey, what did you name your town?

Melissa: Together town.

Mikey: Yeah. I don’t think that animals like your island coz Tommy just said, “Welcome to Dog Crap City.”

Melissa: Dog Crap City? That hurts. Here, come to my tent.

Mikey: Yeah. I want to see this new carpet you’ve been talking about.

Melissa: Oh my god!

Mikey: What?

Melissa: I died.

Mikey: You can’t die in this.

Melissa: I did. It says, “You’re dead. Foul play is suspected. Game over.” Dude, screw this game.

Mikey: Hey, is it cool if I hang out in your island? I just got invited to this big party to celebrate you dying>

Melissa: Oh, great! Have fun.
