Courteney Cox is always up for a good time.

Unfortunately for Cox, McDaid was one step ahead, turning her prank into a joke on her.

In the video shared to her social media, Cox compliments McDaid’s songwriting skills before revealing she’s going to try speaking to him only using lyrics from his songs.

The results are comedic gold, as Courteney begins quoting lyrics from Ed Sheeran’s hit “Bad Habits,” which McDaid co-wrote. The stoic musician plays along, listening patiently—until the end, when he reveals he’s been in on the prank all along.
