The fire we reported at the old fire hall Is still burning out of control.
There are no reports of injuries, But a three-block area has been The score remains exactly 97, 98.
I'm confused why the senate can't summon the backbone To kill the Check out that loser in front of us.

Yeah.
Great.

It's a terrific town to take a walk in.
Shut up.
I want the truth, jeff.
I know you're up to something.
What is that red mark on your collar? Huh? It's nothing.
Oh, that is not nothing.

It's a wet-nap, jeff! Have you been running off to eat bad food with brenda? Yeah, of course I-- look, I didn't tell you 'cause I wanted to spare your feelings.
Oh, god! Look, you cut me off.
I had to go somewhere else.
So you go running to brenda? No, not necessarily brenda.
There have been others? Look, I--I-- I'm always gonna crave bad foods, audrey.
That's just how I am.
That's why I worry about you.
I can't help it.
This is what me loving you looks like.
Isn't there some kind of compromise? Well, I'd be willing to try loving you less.
Hey, maybe if you weren't such a fanatic.
Come on.
If you were just to let up a little, Then I would do better.
I'd order egg whites instead of eggs.
And turkey bacon? Oh, come on.
And turkey bacon? Oh, come on.
It's a deal breaker.
All right, fine.
But then I get my home fries.
Done.
So where'd you two go? Uh, well, we went to duane's barbecue.

Truth is, it's hard being cooler than everyone else.
I mean, you have to keep track Of what you're actually enjoying And what you're mocking because other people enjoy it.
It's I don't have that many levels.
Yes, one level would be rounding it up.
Take it.
It's taken.
How about you? Been having a good time? not really, sir.
