#343. Jen working on medical school stuff

January 14, 1999

JOHNNY: Whatcha workin' on, Jen?
JEN: Med. school stuff.

JOHNNY: But you won't be going till the Fall of 2000!
JEN: Yeah, but we start doing stuff REALLY early.

JOHNNY: JEEZ. Why does pre-med stuff take so much TIME?
JEN: Well, sometimes I think it's cuz they want people who are committed to medicine.

JEN: And sometimes I think it's because there IS a God. And... and somehow I've pissed him off.

#344. Jen’s never spontaneous

January 15, 1999

BEN: Jen, can we talk about "us"?
JEN: Ben, I'm VERY busy right now, you sort of caught me off guard...

BEN: Well, see that's my POINT. You're never SPONTANEOUS.
JEN: You want SPONTANEITY? Fine. Let's break up.

BEN: WHAT? No! Jen, THAT'S, I... YOU...
JEN: Hey! How 'bout some MORE spontaneity, Captain Impulse? I'll take you back.

JEN: NOW, unless you'd like another heaping spoonful of whimsy, I've got a freakin' resume to write.
BEN: Yes, dear. Sorry, dear. Pencil me in to apologize more later...
