Mike: You have to break up with him.
Lauren: OK. Relax. You want an oral break up, hand break up, girl on girl break up.
Mike: No. Just a regular break up.
Lauren: That'll be two grand.
Mike: You don't understand. The idiot has fallen in love with you.
Lauren: Did you get a hair cut?
Mike: No, I had my head in a vice. Look the bottom line is, I'm outta money.
Lauren: Bottom line. Unless I get the cash, if he calls, I tell him I'm a pro.
Mike: No no no no. Don't do that, you'll break his heart and he'll hate my guts forever. Look you gotta help me out here. I need a favor.
Lauren: Oral favor, hand favor, girl on girl favor..
Mike: No no no, an actual real favor.
Lauren: I'm not in the favor business!
