Kevin and Kylie, as I overheard them by the water cooler (parrot-phrased as closely as possible).

Kevin: Hey, Kylie, there’s another parrot down in the water here.

Kylie: Oh, Kev, that’s you, ya daft galah.

Kevin: Oh, now I see, yeah. Crikey, I’m good looking, eh. Check those feathers.

Kylie: Lawks! When I think how I dumped Jason for you. Sigh.

Kevin: Thinking of getting a mullet. I’d look so cool. Kylie, a mullet, what’d ya think? Kylie? Kylie?
