Anyway. Are you OK . . . now? You know, after all that weirdness you went through? It's just I remember last time I saw you, you were, you know . . . a little mentally compromised. It was kind of harsh. You really lashed out at me. But I know you didn't mean it, since I basically saved your life. I really, really hope things are better for you now.
Breaker! Breaker! Get out of that bush!
Oh hi Drew! How are you? How was your trip? Breaker is great. Aw and there's Flossie! Look at the two of them going at it! Ha ha, always so frisky. They are so in love! Listen I would be happy to take care of Flossie next time you go away on a shoot, OK?
Breaker and Drew's dog Flossie are so in love. Animals are just so open to love. So healthy and honest about their feelings. With the right upbringing. Sigh. Love is really what it's about, isn't it, in the end?
Which is why shows like Sex and the City are so popular I suppose. Have you been watching it? You don't? I actually sort of like it. You think she's dumb, right? Yeah it's funny, Sarah Jess is actually really cool. She's actually really generous with her friends, Ess Jess. Hum.
No I'm not laughing at you, I just think it's funny how some people react when someone is more successful than them? I'm not saying you are doing it, I just think it's funny. But I have to say, I don't know how you do it. I am 50 glad I am not single. It looks so hard. I mean, look at you! You're so tired all the time from going out! It's unfair. For someone so nice and standard as you.
No wait you are? You are dating someone! That's great! "The End of the Dry Spell"! Who are you seeing now? Lyle? Lyle who? No, tell me. I may know him.
Lyle FRANKLIN? LYLE? Oh my God Lyle! He is single again? No, I just thought he was seeing someone. He's single? That is great that he is trying to focus again, I mean maybe this time it'll work. Wow, Lyle Franklin is single. "The Bisexual Bachelor."
He didn't tell you? He's so funny. Well, don't stress over it. I mean that would really freak him out if he saw you stressing over him, you know? Ha! That's the worst thing you could do is stress over it.
I always forget. Is it you or my friend Andrea who breaks out in bad acne when you get stressed?
Breaker, come now, back away from that female poodle.
Breaker is such a flirt. Especially with his big you-know-what. You can imagine what a Casanova he is in the dog run.
