Better Off Single
So, I'm not a big
believer in blind dates.
- Uh, me neither.
Even though work colleagues
swore I'd like her...
My sister promised I'd like him.
- Still...
- - We were skeptical.
That is until...
I saw her.
And I saw him.
- Something clicked. We started talking.
- We couldn't stop
- the whole night. -Closed down the
restaurant and went and got drinks.
And then he's such a gentlemen.
- He walked me home.
- Well, almost home.
Right,
'cause on this dark street,
these two huge
thugs with brass knuckles...
- And nunchucks.
- -And really bad skin.
They grabbed me, said that they wanted
our money and were going to rape me.
We want your money
and are going to rape you.
- It was horrible.
- -Well, it could've been.
Right, if Barry
hadn't vowed to protect
New York City streets since
being orphaned as a boy.
- Yeah. I'm
the trust-funded avenger.
Is he ever. Barry learned
Thai-stick fighting
on the rough
streets of Princeton.
He was so calm and strong.
I'd never seen a throwing star.
Lucky for them,
I was with a beautiful lady
otherwise, I wouldn't
have been so nice.
And after seeing
- he vanquished
those ruffians...
I am quite compassionate.
I knew right then, it was time.
Time for me to take
her virginity.
but, thankfully, prior to me
Barry had made love
to more than 80 women.
- 83... which is a lot.
- I felt like I was made of light...
A sexual firefly or something.
Hot-throbbing...
- Fetishistic climaxes
again and again and again.
And, the next morning,
after we won $38 million
playing nickel slots...
And started travelling the world
and haven't stopped since.
But, Charlie, that's us, yo.
What about you?
- I haven't seen you since, I
don't know, high school. -Wow.
What's goin' on? Tell us
about your lucky lady.
You've got one of those, right?
Yeah, what's goin' on with you?
Ever notice when you're
not in a relationship
everyone else is in
a ridiculously happy one?
Seriously?
Unbelievable.
I mean, this guy?
These two?
It's not like this sh*t
ever works out for me.
Charlie, you called her
ten times a day
for the past two weeks.
She doesn't like you, dude.
Now help me find this
boomerang before your mom
- makes us do geometry.
- -Was it my fault?
if she doesn't mean "yes"?
Come on.
And college was even worse.
All I'm saying is next time
don't leave me there by myself
while you go talk
to frat guys all night, okay?
You're the one who told me to go
flirt for free beer, remember?
- You didn't have to like it so much.
- Charlie...
So that's how to avoid
failing the final exam.
Christ.
You name the relationship
I'll tell you
where it went wrong.
That dog was
such a buzz-kill.
Let's just say we're both
happy it ended...
Like how all my relationships
ended... happy.
Well, until Angela.
You have got to be kidding me.
Angela, I'm sorry I woke you up.
You used to like
middle-of-the-night sex.
I mean you are white-hot,
basically naked in my bed.
You practically groped me.
With my knee?
While sleeping?
- Sh*t. Do you
see it anywhere?
Hey!
- It's gonna be all right.
Okay? -I told you
to shut that window.
Blood-sucking mosquitoes
- Honey. -I'm already
nervous for my meeting.
Hey. Honey, honey,
honey, honey.
Listen...
- You know tomorrow's
gonna go great.
And I promise you, even if I have
to stay up all night to do it,
you can sleep the entire time.
That mosquito's teeny
tiny little life will end.
And ever since Angela
