Dialogue

I’d Rather Vomit
Bf: “Hey babe, I love you!”
Cue the admiring tone and eye contact
Gf: “I love you more, honey!”
Enough smiles and cheese to make grilled cheese!
Bf: “Honey, let’s get married on a mountain in winter!”
Enthusiastic and excited as he searches through google
Gf: “I always wanted a beach wedding, but I would give it up just as long as I marry you!”
Lethargic tone. You can see the pain she feels in letting go of part of her dream
Bf: “I HAVE TO MARRY YOU, HONEY.”
Appreciative as hell
Sister: “Gosh, you guys are so cheesy I could puke!”
In what sounds like pure disgust and acid reflux
“Thanks, we love you too.”
They both said as sarcastic as they could

Nicole’s Self-help Lunch Special Edition
“I am so going to subways.”
You can almost feel her hunger from her desperation
“Then my mom is going to kill me because I’m 19 and I can’t even remember to pack my lunch.”
Inhales profoundly and covers her face with her palms
“Get it together, Nicole!”
Shaking away the stress from her body
“My god!”
Sigh of relief

Caught a Catfish
Angelo: “Wow, she’s gained so much weight since I first met her. I didn’t even recognize her.”
In pure astonishment
Allen: “I heard she had a leg injury.”
Walking her walk away and nostalgic for what her curves looked like
Angelo: “I feel so “catfished” right now.”
The whole office laughs as Angelo deals with his deception.
Allen: “She was so fine, and she got bread.”
Allen is missing his former eye candy and is notably nostalgic.
Angelo: “No, she eating the bread.”
He laughs and shares a smile. Comical relief helps Angelo to cope with the loss of what he calls the “booty gains.”
Allen: “she owns a bunch of ice cream parlors. I’d be fat too.”
Allen is defending his eye-candy crush. Angelo gasps, he didn’t know she was that rich.
Angelo: “bro, I’m going to IG stalk her. I can train her and love her.”
He is trying to find out where the ice cream parlor is. He has not given up on his love for Ms. Catfish. Mind you Angelo has a girlfriend…
