Melissa: That is not how this works!

Stu Price: Oh, good! Because whatever this is ain’t workin’ for me!

Melissa: Oh, really? Since when?

Stu Price: Since you fucked that waiter on your cruise last June! BOOM!

Alan Garner: You told me it was a bartender.

Stu Price: Oh! You’re right. I stand corrected. It was a bartender. You fucked a bartender.

Melissa: You’re an idiot!

Stu Price: You’re a — You… You’re… such a bad person! Like, all the way through to your core!
