— Get out of my life once and for all, or I'll bash your teeth in.
— If you can't love me... hate me. If you can't forgive me, punish me. Make me hurt like I've hurt you.
I call her every foul name there is. She makes my name sound like music. Like a chant to some dark god. She's slippery with sweat. Before long, my hatred is spent, but she won't let go.
— I've never been very good at friends.
— For starters, it does help when you know the person. I hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
— That about sums me up.
— No, there's more than that, you just don't want to tell me.

It's like the infield fly rule. It exists only because the women say so. And, like idiots, we just go following right along.
— No, no, no, Stan. I... No, I don't know I would do without Edna. She, uh... she... Well, she... she plans the meals, sends my shirts to the laundry.
— Harold, you're making another basic common masculine mistake. You're confusing love and laundry.
