The pain of rejection

Too much sex

and not enough affection

Read it in the paper

0r watch it on TV

Cry for a stranger

but turn your back on me

- Try another line

- Bartender?

And still no connection

Too much sex

and not enough affection

Bartender!

- Thank you.

- My pleasure.

More where that came from.

You drinking to forget?

To oblivion.

What sorrow are you drowning?

Maybe I just drink because I like it.

Always a sorrow. Lost hope.

Lost love.

Hey, hey, are you all right?

Yeah. I'm just a few drinks

short of oblivion.

Well, I-- Well, I'll tell you what.

I'll meet you there.

Hey, pal, the lady and I are trying

to set a new record.

Set it yourself.

The lady's going home.

Mother missed you tonight.

She's a tad freaked out.

''Freaked out''?

That makes two of us.

Oh!Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Come on, dear.

We're going home.

Professor Cornell?

- Uh, Miss--

- Fuller.

Sydney Fuller. Yeah.

God, isn't it awful

about Nick Lang? What a shock.

- Yeah, just one of many.

- Yeah, I know. It's just terrible.

Something I can do for you?

Will you have a drink with me?

Okay.

- Oh, a martini.

- Mm-hmm.

- First one?

- Too much

And not enough

What? Okay, I give up.

Where did the female reindeer go?

Oh, God, Eddie.

You have hit rock bottom

on that one...

but I still love you.

Okay, I gotta go.

I'll see you next week. Bye.

- Where did the female reindeer go?

- Oh, you don't want to know.

- Oh, my God. Am I where I think I am?

- Freshman girls' dorm?

- Does this get worse? What happened?

- Don't you remember?

- You were amazing!

- Oh, no!

- Can't handle praise?

- Oh! I can't handle prison.

- I'm over 1 8.

- Oh! The mere fact

that you have to mention that...

means that I'd better get dressed

and haul my ass out of--

I was amazing fully dressed?

Guess I had you going there, huh?

Yeah. Uh, now, wait a minute.

I seem to remember a lot of drinks,

a lot of bars. Uh, a pass being made?

Yeah, I made the pass.

Yeah. Incomplete.

You were very gracious

about turning me down.

You said I was pretty, you said I was

smart, and then you said something...

about rules and ethics,

professors and coeds.

And then something about

alcohol impeding performance...

all the while trying

to make a graceful exit.

- Yeah, but I-I didn't exit.

- No. You passed out.

- Yeah.

- Diet Sprite?

Thank you.

This boyfriend of yours, um--

jealous type?

- Huh?

- The phone.

Oh, no, that's my brother, Eddie.

- He called with his annual

Christmas joke.

- Hey, Syd.

- Syd, want to hit the gym?

- Barb, don't you knock?

- Guess you've already exercised.

- Sorry.

Listen, this room is strategically

located right next to the fiire stairs.
