January 20, 1998

JEN: HEY, you know my boyfriend, Ben, don't you?
FRATMAN: YES, yes, BEN. Great guy. The name's Fratman.

JEN: Jen. So, why're you here at RUSH anyway?
FRATMAN: Jen, for too long I have championed the Greek cause alone.

FRATMAN: Like any frat guy, I seek my one true SORORITY GIRL. One who cherishes SOCIAL STRUCTURE. One who understands my love of ALCOHOL.

FRATMAN: One who has a nice BUTT.
JEN: AH, there ARE a few romantics left...

JEN: SO. How come some LUCKY girl hasn't snagged YOU yet, Johnny.

Popularity rank 14 #172. Can I bum a pencil?

November 12, 1997

JOHNNY: Hey Jen, can I bum a PENCIL?
JEN: Sure, check my bookbag....
SOUND: sniff sniff

JEN: The pockets are arranged alphabetically by category, and the items in the pockets are ordered alphabetically left-to-right. I BELIEVE pencils are in pocket THREE, "office supplies" under "writing utensils".

JOHNNY: So, are you, like, OFFICIALLY a freak? Do you have the membership card and everything? What's the word on that?
JEN: WAIT, maybe they're under "GRAPHICS tools" - "GRAPHITE-BASED".

BEN: Good luck on biochem. BYE. OK, sweetie. OK. BYE.
JOHNNY: You and Jen are so DIFFERENT. I don't know how you get along.

BEN: I'm form to her function. We're truth and beauty. I'm the script and she's the stage directions.

NARRATOR: 7 hours and 2,520 metaphors later...
