[Marriage counselor Mr. Hall uses two wooden dolls and a large rubber band to discuss the strain of relationships with teenagers Larry and Sue.]
When you two first met, there was probably an early physical reaction...
Oh yeah!
...A romantic attraction that pulled you together, a love appeal that hits you sort of...boing!
You saw my boing?
How did you know?
Well, it happened to me. It happens to some degree to most couples who become happily married. But it takes more than just "boing".
Sometimes there's a "shplurt"!
For you see, if you're too far apart psychologically…
…if one of you is cuckoo…
[Hall gestures to the distance between the dolls, then stretches out the rubber band again…]
…if your backgrounds are not similar enough, it can cause a great deal of argument and unhappiness, until…
[…and suddenly snaps the rubber band, which flies off.]
It's gone!
Where'd it go?!

That's what you'll be saying about your romantic love, if these other things cause a breakup.
BUT WHERE'S THE RUBBER BAND?!
