"You've worked everything out." "As a matter of fact, he's ready To set a new wedding date." "You put alcohol in that woman, She will make out with a tree." "He came over here talking About his future with you." "It was better to send him off" "Than lie to his face On your behalf." "So this is my fault?" "You know what ian is?" "He's like this great hunk Of mackerel" "That you have spent All this time reeling in," "And now everybody's Standing around" "And applauding you And cheering you on." "But the thing is, You don't really like mackerel," "But you just can't bear to throw That fish back in the water," "Because your ego Can't take the thought" "Of somebody who really Likes mackerel reeling him in" "And having him for dinner."
