Dan: [wiping down glasses and setting them out] Kind of surprised ya showed up in a skirt. I’d say ya were actually looking like a lady, t’day. What’s the occasion?
Carolina: [sets her purse down on the bar and slides onto a stool] Work. Some of us still have to follow dress codes. [a smirk] What? Worried that I clean up better than you?
Dan: [Frowns] You don’t clean up better than me.
Carolina: Of course I do. [Points a finger at him as (much to her confusion) she suddenly begins to sing.] Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you!
Dan: [Points a finger back as he (also to his confusion) sings back] No you can’t!
Carolina: [Smacks his hand aside] Yes, I can!
Dan: [smirks back at her] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Crosses her arms] Yes, I can.
Dan: [still smirking] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [stands and smacks her hands on the bar top] Yes, I can! Yes, I can!
Dan: [tosses the bar rag against his shoulder] Anything you can be, I can be greater. [Leans closer to her, still smirking] Sooner or later, I’m greater than you.
Carolina: [face darkens and her eyes narrow to slits] No, you’re not.
Dan: [Waves her off] Yes, I am.
Carolina: [She shakes her finger in front of his face] No, you’re not!
Dan: [Getting a little annoyed now; pushes her finger out of the way] Yes I am!
Carolina: [Leans back, smirking] No. You’re not.
Dan: [presses his hands against the bar] Yes I am! Yes I am!! [Leans up from the bar and points at her] I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge.
Carolina: [arches an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed] I can shoot a sparrow with a bow and arrow. [draws an imaginary bow and “shoots” at him]
Dan: [Grunts and shrugs it off, also clearly unimpressed or amused; Straightens from the bar and crosses his arms] I can live on bread and cheese.
Carolina: [Tilts her head] And only on that?
Dan: [Puffing a little proudly] Yup!
Carolina: [smugly waves it away] So can a rat!
Dan: [Frowns at her; then shrugges it off and adds] Any note you can sing, I can sing higher.
Carolina: [Still smug, places her hands on her hips.] Ha! I can sing anything higher than you!
Dan: [Grunts and shakes his head] No you can’t.
Carolina: [Frowns and puts her hands back on the counter] Yes, I can.
Dan: [hitting a higher note] No, you can’t!
Carolina: [Singing a bit higher] Yes, I can!
Dan: [Singing a bit higher than her] No, you can’t!
Carolina: [Singing even higher] Yes, I can!
Dan: [unfolds his arms so he can sing even higher] No, you can’t!
Carolina: [Straightens and lean back to sing even higher] Yes, I can!
Dan: [Takes a breath and straightens even more to hit that high note and hold it] No, you caaaaaaaaaaaan’t!!
Carolina: [Waits for him to finish before slowly singing] Yes, I… [Takes a deep breath and belts out a crazy high pitched note] caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Dan: [Winces and once she’s done puts a finger in his ear as if to clear it] How do you sing that high?
Carolina: [Feeling quite proud of herself as she smirks at him.] I’m a girl. (You idiot.)
Dan: [Nods; that’s legit, he’ll give her that] Anything you can say, I can say softer.
Carolina: [She’s not about to back down now] I can say anything softer than you.
Dan: [He doesn’t believe that for a damn minute] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Struggles a bit to lower her voice] Yes, I can.
Dan: [Smirks, he has this argument won; Leans a little over the bar towards her; softer than her] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Leans in, her ‘soft’ voice turning into more of a growl] Yes, I can.
Dan: [the smirk turns smug; leans in so close, their faces practically touch and barely whispers] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Her face contorts with anger as she tries to whisper] Yes, I ca- can… [Oh, who the hell is she kidding? She gives in and decides to take her revenge by belting in his face] YES, I CAN!
Dan: [Practically falls backwards behind the bar; grips the bar top tightly in order to keep upright and again attempts to clear the ringing from his ears; Once he can hear again:] I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker (the hell is a flicker?)
Carolina: [Crossing her arms, she gives him a victorious look from the other side of the bar.] I can drink it quicker and get even sicker!
Dan: [Looks at her with raised brows as if to say “Not something to be proud of, darlin’”] I can open any safe!
Carolina: [Rolls her eyes. Everyone’s a safe cracker these days.] Without being caught?
Dan: [Once again, very proud of himself] Pff, you bet!
Carolina: [Arches a brow] That’s what I thought, you crook.
Dan: [And her point?] Any note you can you can hold, I can hold longer.
Carolina: [He’s seriously going for this?] I can hold any note longer than you.
Dan: [Oh, yes, they’re doing this; takes a breath] No, you caaaaan’t!
Carolina: [Fine.] Yes, I caaaaan!
Dan: [Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should...she may just shatter the glasses behind the bar…; Takes a deeper breath] No, you caaaaaaaan’t!!
Carolina: [Oh, we’re just getting started. She takes a breath.] Yes, I caaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Dan: [Furrows his brows; Straightens and takes a deeper breath] No, you caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan’t!!
Carolina: [Never test a Marine on breath skills, Dan. She takes a short, deep breath and then begins-] Yes, I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Dan: [places a finger in his ear again and checks his watch on the opposite wrist]
Carolina: -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Dan: [Sliding out of singing] Alright, you can. Jesus, where do you keep all that air?
Carolina: [Finally lets go of the note and takes in a much-needed breath, half-falling, half-leaning against the bar.] Urgh...
Dan: [Raises a brow] Oh. [Well, now that he has her on the ropes…it’s back to signing again, for reasons, apparently] Anything you can say, I can say faster.
Carolina: [Snorts as she finishes catching her breath.] I can say anything faster than you.
Dan: [Quickly] No, you can’t!
Carolina: [Slaps her hand on the bar and leans in.] Yes, I can!
Dan: [Slaps his hands down and leans in as well] No, you can’t!
Carolina: [Even faster] Yes I can!
Dan: [leans in closer] Noyoucan’t!
Carolina: [Presses their foreheads together, literally butting heads] YesIcan!
[The two bicker on and on faster and faster; foreheads smooshed together until:]
Dan: [Pulls his face from hers] I can jump a hurdle!
Carolina: [Sees the retreat as her win, so she willingly pulls back to smirk] I can wear a girdle!
Dan: [Raises a brow; Why would she want to?] I can knit a sweater!
Carolina: [Forearms resting on the bar, she deliberately arches her back.] I can fill it better!
Dan: [Doesn’t even attempt to hide the fact that he’s looking down her blouse] Yes, Darlin’, that ya can. [Aaaand, back to signing] I. Can. Do. Most. Anything!
Carolina: [Considers that for a moment] Can you bake a (pecan) pie?
Dan: [Leans in and is all smug again] Yea, but you can’t. [Still smirking] Anything you can sing, I can sing sweeter.
Carolina: [Narrows her eyes, now damnably determined to kick his ass in cooking] I can sing anything sweeter than you.
Dan: [Raises a brow; Melodically] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Still stinging from the remark, sings in what she thinks to be a ‘sweet voice’] Yes, I can~
Dan: [The hell was that?; Slightly more melodically] No you can’t~
Carolina: [The ‘sweet’ sound coming from her voice sounds far more like a ‘twang’] Yes, ah can~
Dan: [No, no she really can’t; Much more melodically than her] No, you can’t.
Carolina: [Yes, she really thinks she can; which only ends up with a lot more twang in her voice as she tries to be more melodic] Yes, I !
Dan: [He physically winces; slaps hands down on the bar again and leans closer to her] No, you can’t!!
Carolina: [Slaps her hands down even louder on the bar and leans in to meet him]
[Singing together, Dan singing sweetly while Carolina still maintains a bit of twang]
Carolina: Yes, I caaan!
Dan: No, you caaan’t!
Dan: [scowls at her before reaching over the bar to grab Carolina and pull her across the bar; Arguing is the best kind of foreplay]
