Luke – “so you heard my wish last night?”

Genie – “yes, but because I’m new it took me awhile to figure out, how to get out… but yes your wish has been granted”

Luke – “so I’m definitely going to ace this test?”

(Genie nods)
“Well in that case- I wish for that girl over there, Cassie, to be my girlfriend”.
