I'VE BEEN ON THE LOSING END OF SOME HORRIBLE BREAKUPS.
YOU KNOW, MOST DAYS YOU'RE FINE, BUT THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR EX, - AND YOU JUST FALL APART.
- YEAH.
LIKE AN EARRING, YOU KNOW? - YEAH.
- OR LIKE A BOOK - TOTALLY.
- A VIBRATOR, SEX TAPE YOU MADE WITH THE HOT NEIGHBORS.
GOD.
WELL, I CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THAT RELATIONSHIP WENT WRONG.
- WHAT? - WELL, LISTEN, NEVER MIND.
LOOK, THE POINT IS MAYBE IT'S OUR SUBCONSCIOUS TELLING US WE'RE NOT READY TO MOVE ON YET.
OR MAYBE IT'S JUST A STUPID PAIR OF BOXERS.
- OKAY.
- OKAY.
I CAN TAKE 'EM OFF, TOO, IF THAT'S BETTER.
YEAH, YOU WANT TO?
