Brett:
[talking to Rob about the complexity of dating]
Getting into a relationship with a woman these days is like... it's like getting into a cab with a driver that doesn't speak English. I mean you tell them where you wanna go when you start off, and they nod and smile and you think they've understood. And then all of a sudden you look up, and you're driving down "Moving In" Street, or "Having a Baby" Street, and you say "No, I never wanted to go here" and then they start yelling at you in some language you don't even understand. Man I tell you something, from now on I'm walking. See more » |
