JAVON: Do you need to go to the hospital or something?
JOHNNY: No, I don't think....

MONIQUE: Johnny, do you need me to go to the hospital with you?

JOHNNY: What a storybook romance! And all conveniently wrapped up in 24 panels!
MONIQUE: Yes, only walking off into the sunset could be more romantic...
JOHNNY: No problem! Cue sunset!

MONIQUE: Impressive.
JOHNNY: Yep, that's pretty much me, comic strip star, people jumping at my every word....
