FLORENTINE: “This right here–what you’re doing now–it’s the explanation for why you can’t get a girlfriend.”<\/p>\n
SCOTT: “What?”<\/p>\n
FLORENTINE: “You’re trying to explain your game and nobody cares. Yet you continue to ramble on. I have no interest in your game, dude.”<\/p>\n
SCOTT: “It would have been polite to at least pretend to listen.”<\/p>\n
FLORENTINE: “No, no it wouldn’t. The best thing for you is a little honesty. Lying to you isn’t doing you any favors. I’m not your momma. I don’t have to pretend to care about your game. We have different interests. End of story.”<\/p>\n
CHARLIE: “What’s going on in here? Why does he look like he’s about to cry?”<\/p>\n
RICKETS: “Oh, Loren is just laying some painful honesty down on Scott. It was pretty brutal.”<\/p>\n
FLORENTINE: “But it had to happen. I could *feel* myself getting all passive aggressive. No thank you.”<\/p>\n
CHARLIE: “Well… Uh, I was going to ask if you all wanted to go to a ballgame?”<\/p>\n
SCOTT: “Totally. Get me out of here, dude.”<\/p>\n
FLORENTINE: “We can hear you. You’re like right there.”<\/p>\n
RICKETS: “Okay, down girl. Sorry guys. She’s like a bear–get her riled up and it takes her a while to put the teeth away. Thanks for the invite. Maybe next time.”<\/p>\n
CHARLIE: “Right-oh. Come on Scott. I’ll buy you a hotdog.”<\/p>\n
SCOTT: “With extra relish?”<\/p>\n
CHARLIE: “Sure. Whatever you like.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
