- So how was class?
- (laughing) I ditched with my friend.
- Then you snuck into the movies? What--Fuckin' Poncho!
- What happened?
- He pocketed my coupons.
- For Burger King? I got a couple, they might be expired though.
- No, we stopped by a 7-11 after a comedy show.  Kept it real classy.  I thought was being so charming cause I convinced the cashier to let me hold on to some coupons I was using.
- Did you look around to see if other girls noticed?
- Absolutely.  But I guess I was full of myself when he stole it from me.
- The coupons?
- No, my last relationship.  You don't need to read into everything.  I'm just trying to hammer one out.
- I'm having girlfriend problems, too.
- You making any progress with Lala?
- Not more than telling her a story with my eyes.
- Just be yourself, Today.
- Really?
- Fuck no. 
- I don't know what's going on between us.  She's been cheery ever since she came back to class.
- Where's Hamlet in all this?
- Well, my friend heard he's back in the slammer.  He rear ended a police cruiser at a red light while he was drunk.
- Maybe that's why she's been cheery.  She feels free when he's not around.
- I don't think so.  She's not like that.
- How the hell do you know what she thinks?
- Because I pay attention to her in class.  She doesn't seem like she knows how to feel free.
- That's a bold observation.
- Well, bold men do bold things.
- Or just say bold things and call themselves bold.  Now Hamlet was pretty bold.
- I think she's adjusted her personality to fit into him all these years.  There's no room for me.
- I don't know what to say.  She's married--perhaps unhappy--but I don't really know if that is any of your business, Today.
- I know, I don't tell anyone but you, the sweet zephyrs of my heart.  They whisper--
- Plus, this looks like it's long enough, Today.
- (head hangs) Oh, ok.
- Sorry.  Let's try Jack in the Box.  The drive through guy's gay.  Maybe I can finesse him into giving us a cheesecake.
