Well, it's over. It's definitely over.
She broke up with you.
No, but I can tell she's going to, I can sense it. We had this terrible phone conversation. I was so nervous before I called, I made up this whole list of things to talk about.
What was on the list?
Uh, let's see... [pulls a piece of paper out of his coat pocket and starts reading from it] "I'm very good at going in reverse in my car". "Why isn't Postum a more popular drink?"
[Takes the list from George and starts looking at it] Yeah, Postum is underrated.
Anyway, there was all this tension. I asked her if she wanted to go out to dinner and she said "no, maybe we can get together for lunch." You know what that means.
What's wrong with lunch?
Lunch is fine at the beginning, then you move on to dinner. You don't go back to lunch, it's like being demoted. I'll never do another crossword puzzle with her again, I know it.
I like the jumble. You ever do the jumble?
I have no power, don't you understand? I need hand, I have no hand!
Break up with her.
What?
You break up with her. You reverse everything that way.
A "preemptive break-up"...
A "preemptive break-up". This is an incredible idea..
Yeah.
I got nothing to lose! We either break-up which she would do anyways but at least I go out with some dignity, or I completely turn the tables! This is absolutely brilliant!
