Smile?

- Don't your cheeks get sore?
- Why would they?
- You smile so much. Too much.
- So?
- Uh..
- No they don't. I just smile. That's who I am. 
- Really? Doesn't your body know it's keeping a couple of muscles stretched for so long?
- Roger it does!
- Doesn't it bother you 
- Already told ya, noo!
- I can't smile. Atleast not like you. 
- Do you want to?
- I don't know. Guess I do.
- Then smile. 
- Hey.. I didn't want that!
- You didn't want to smile?
- Um..
- Then?
- I want to, but can't. 
- Does your heart smile?
- All it does is beat.
- How fast?
- Some seventy-odd times a minute I guess..
- Doesn't it go faster than that?
- Sometimes, yes.
-  Doesn't it ever skip a beat?
- Guess it does, sometimes. 
- How about the times you meet her?
- ....
- I see you smiling.
- Because I am.
- Does it hurt?
- ....
- A smile that hurts is sure to have been forced. 
- Uhm..
- It's perfectly fine for you to not smile when you don't feel like it.
- Really? You sure about it?
- Look, you're grinning now!
