Ooh, i had my heart set on them, too.
Here we go.
Come on.
All right, very good.
I wonder if es and bl are still together.
I think so.
I think they are, Because they were on the right track.
These are good people.
They took the bus.
They saved their money.
With the money they saved, They bought a nice little house upstate.
Tree-Lined street.
Good school district.
Unfortunately, the neighbor's kids are hooligans, And every sunday, they pelt the house with eggs.
The police have to come, but there's nothing you can do, sadly, Because there's no proof.
There's no proof.
Got a pen? For what? "Bliss or blunder? Perfect mate or big mistake?" Oh, no, no, no.
Come on, it's a quiz.
What kind of quiz? Can you win a boat? No.
Then what good comes of this? All right, fine.
I'll take it for both of us.
No, you can't.
You can't do that.
Why not? Because then it's skewed.
In or out? All right, go.
"Question one do you believe in love at first sight?" Do you still have the sunday times? Last one right here.
Thanks.
Hey, what are you doing? My parents' obituary is in here.
Oh, gee, go ahead.
Both of them? It was an earthquake.
Really? Beams hit them.
Beams? It was very fast.
The ground just swallowed up their house.
What? What, nothing? Thanks.
"J.

Can you believe that girl? Hi.
What are you doing with my dry cleaning? Well, you dropped the slip last night as you hijacked my newspaper.
How did you find her? I went to the dry cleaners.
And they told you where i worked? Well, i told them i was your house boy, coco.
He thinks i have a sexy voice.
He's a nice guy, and he's cute.
He is, isn't he? And he gets that little twinkle in his eye.
I know.
He's so cute.
Tell me something about her.
Jamie? Well, i could tell you this.
I think she likes you.
No.
You think? Yeah, i think.
Yeah, because well, you can sense these things, Because when you know somebody that long, You can sort of read the signs.
What signs? Fran told me.
I thought about you too last night.
And then, when you found me here today, It's like it was too good to be true.
And though you seem to be this nice guy i can see why you're troubled.
You realize if this doesn't work out, I'm going to have to blow my brains out.
That's good.
So long as there's no pressure.
Yeah.
I just don't want to be disappointed again.
I'll do my best.
Okay, come on.
Next question.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're right.
Let's do it.
Just like that? Bing, bang, boom? At this point, i'd settle for the boom.
You don't want the bing and bang? I did when we started.
And now? I'm over it.
You're a very complex woman.
You don't want the boom? Of course i want the boom.
Guys always want the boom.
We only made up the whole bing and the bang Just to get the boom.
I thought you liked the bing and the bang.
I love the bing and the bang.
I don't always need it.
Neither do i.

All right.
I will see you when you get here.
Hurry up.
Good-Bye.
Okay, i get it.
You're mad.
Okay.
How long are you going to go without talking to me? A week? A month? Eventually, you got to talk to me.
You got to come home and say, "honey, look how much money we made on your investment.
" You want to know the truth? We would never have had to gone out in the first place If you didn't let our mothers tag team you on our damn call waiting.
So this whole thing is my fault? Yeah, you're the one who wanted call waiting.
I didn't want call waiting.
I'm perfectly happy with a busy signal.
That's because you don't have that many friends.
I have plenty of friends, But i'm not so worried about getting back to them.
I'm not like you.
Oh, what if someone's trying to get us? What if they want to get us? Well, they got us, baby.
You happy now? Hey, there's my beautiful bride.
Yeah, bite me.
All i want you to do is admit you were wrong.
Listen, i may have been a few minutes too impulsive.
No, that's not it.
I was i listen, it's not impossible that my judgment was impaired By the enthusiasm can you just say you were wrong? I'm saying this is not the most right i've ever been.
You are pathetic.
I hate that you're being this way.
Well, good, because i hate that you made plans with your sister On the first saturday i'm not working in five weeks.
I didn't know you weren't working, for the 416th time.
I said to you thursday you said you thought you might not have to.
You never confirmed.

Why would i say that? Because it's true, isn't it? No, it's not.
You can't say it? I'm driving you nuts.
You know what? Yes, you are.
You're driving me nuts.
Okay then.
