Ben: Huh?

Thayer: Yeah. Hey, don't feel bad. If I had a nickel for every time I got in a fist fight during a chick flick1, whoo!

Ben: Uh-huh, right. It really wasn't that bad.

Thayer: Really?

Ben: No. I mean, the getting punched in the face part sucked, right?

Thayer: Well...

Ben: But the getting taken care of after the punch--it was nice.

Thayer: All right! Florence Nightingale syndrome2, yeah. You want me to tape the game for you tonight?
