"No."
"But Regina-"
"I said no."
"But that's, that's not fair!"
"Life isn't fair, Miss Lucas."
"I live here too, ya know."
"I'm well aware, dear."
"So then why can't I pick tonight's movie?"
"You can pick anything you want, Red..."
"Finally! Thank you-"
"...as long as it isn't that."
"What is your problem with How the Grinch Stole Christmas ?!"
"That...that travesty is not How the Grinch Stole Christmas ."
"It is too!"
"It is not. The only Grinch worth watching was made in 1966."
"The, the cartoon one that's only, like, thirty minutes long? I mean, I know it's a classic but that's what you'd pick? Seriously?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Well, no, but you're kinda freaking out about the remake of a super old animated Christmas special so…"
"Thin ice, Miss Lucas."
"Fine! I'll pick something else. But mark my words, Regina, I will make you watch the Jim Carrey one eventually."
"Good luck, Red. Because I have no intention of getting within thirty-nine and a half feet of that movie."
"...oh my god. Oh my god! I'm dating a dork. You fooled me, Regina, you really did. Hid it underneath powersuits and magic sparkles but I finally figured you out!"
"Yes, dear, you've discovered my deep dark secret. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"Can you pick a movie now?"
"Oh yeah, sure. Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie, right?"
"It most certainly does not !"
