That's a nice name. Is it Dutch?"
"Scandinavian. It means Divinely Beautiful."
"Sounds like quite an act to live up to."
"Mom does it remarkably well. You'll understand when you meet her."
"What does Melissa mean?"
"Honeybee."
"Hm...makes sense."
"Because I have a wicked stinger?" she says, deadpan.
"Because you're always busy."
"Only because Carl is such a slacker."
"Hey, did you hear the one about the constipated slacker?"
"No, and I'm not going to. Tell it to my brother."
"Your brother told me the joke."
"Not surprised in the least. Okay, what about the constipated slacker?"
"He couldn't give a shit."
"That is Carl", she is completely without expression, "Many times over."
