Playing It Cool Page #4

I focus on that one flaw,

until I'm not attracted anymore.

You know? Works perfectly.

How do you think I don't cheat on my wife?

- I thought you did.

- No wonder your marriage is so happy.

Don't talk to me about happiness, okay?

Because... thanks...

- happiness and marriage don't co-exist.

- Bullshit.

There's a reason that Romeo killed himself.

Suicide was the best option for this guy.

- Why?

- No. Romeo set the standard for love.

No, Shakespeare didn't know anything

about love. The guy was a sexual deviant.

He couldn't keep his hands off of himself.

That's why his name was Shakespeare.

It's true. Hardy, Dickens, Longfellow,

all sex-starved pen names.

- E.E. Cummings.

- Updike.

- Margaret Ate-wood.

- Dean Kuuntz.

- Atwood and Koontz.

- Balzac.

Yeah, I see your point. Whiny teens

killing themselves isn't love.

Love is what keeps f***ing you

long after the sex has dried up.

Stop! You guys are terrible!

Love is a real thing.

I was watching this Korean

soap opera last night...

- Stop watching that sh*t.

- No, no, no, you guys are hearing this.

It was an episode of When the Pear

Tree Blossoms, It Also Weeps.

So, basically there's this girl,

Hana and this guy, Da e-jung.

And they've been reunited

after years of separation.

They're like crazy in love.

I mean, it's all tea pouring

and furtive glances, but you can tell

they're like two seconds away

from just ripping each others' kimonos off

and getting seriously freaky.

Oh, God, remember how I told you

how I put myself in other people's stories?

Well...

And why is she here?

But now they're finally back together.

And she realizes

she has to tell him her secret.

She'd been born a man!

So she had to get this operation

to be what she always knew

she was in her heart...

A woman. This is the part

that literally blew my mind.

Instead of rejecting her,

he matches her confession.

He had biologically been a woman

but had science give him

what he always felt he should have...

you know, dude parts.

And they just...

touch hands.

That's love.

F***.

Love will always find a way.

Now that's...

- Excuse me.

- Oh, sorry.

Scott could be right...

but then Scott will also say

that there's someone for everyone.

And as much as you may

think that's right,

you can always find that one person that's

so unusual to the natural order of things,

you think that can't be true.

But then, you're wrong again.

Then everywhere you look, it's like

googling awkward engagement photos.

And you realize

you're wrong a third time.

You're that one person,

you're the exception.

There's someone for everyone...

everyone except you.

Is something on your mind?
