"I could, like, totally just, like," "Carry on from where we left off this morning." "My mind and my body are totally in sync." " i'm not sure" "That i like the implication of that." " what?" "it's very sexy for a man to fight for your honor." " is it also very sexy" "To run into some old geezer you let bone you" "When you were 19 years old?" " well, you know, it just reminded me" "Of being back at college again," "When life was so simple, and he was so-  he was so passionate, so full of enthusiasm." "I know, i know." " he was so big, actually." " oh, gross." " i mean, not that that matters or anything, but, um..." "Well, you know, right?" "you saw." " i saw nothing." " the whole deal."
