Do you want to shuffle?

Sure

Are you gonna cut?

Ok

Deal out the cards

Let’s see what we get

What’s your melt?

Wow, really? You must have a run

What’s your trump?

Spades

Marriage with a Jack of diamonds

and a Queen of spades

I’ll take that

You don’t have any more hearts?

Nope

I topped it

It’s the highest trump I had

I know

Of course you did

And I take the rest

What’d you get?

Did you write that down?

Next game?
