Dream cheating (overheard while in line)

Male teen #1: You know when you have one of those dreams where you get tempted?
Male teen #2: Yeah, totally.
Male teen #1: And you want to cheat, but you can't cheat because it'd be unfair to the person you're dating in real life.
Male teen #2: You definitely can't let it happen. Even in a dream
Male teen #1: Yeah, that's it man. It's just not fair if you're dating someone. Even though, you know, it'd be awesome.
Male teen #2: Yeah, totally.
