This time, it was the Neo-Futurists on This American Life that sent me into the depths of your memories. Its a scene between a man and a women in which instead of words, they simply exchange meaning.
Him: Statement. Statement. Statment. {cough} Question? Her: Agreement. Him: Reassuring statement. Confident statement. Confident statement. Overconfident statement. Her: Question? Him: Elaborate defensive excuse. {audience laughter} Her: Half-hearted agreement. Him: Insecure statement. Distracted statement. Absurd statment. Her: Clarification question? Him: Panicked bullshit explanation. {audience laughter} Quick meaningless comic nonsequitur. Fake laughter. Fake laughter.
LESSON EIGHT: Lord T was right, 'tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all. (Even if sometimes it makes you feel stupid for ever doing so at all).
