Slighted Disarray





Ted :
Good morning, Sassy Smurf.

Sassy :
Good morning, Marlboro Man.
You know, you snored all night.

Ted :
I'm sorry about that.

Sassy :
That's alright. It's actually 
very soothing
Sounded like The Sea.

Ted :
Well, I'm glad you didn't
hear any boat hornsgiven 
all the fried yams 
I ate last night.

Hey, I was thinking. We have
a good time together, yeah?

Sassy :
They're called simultaneous
orgasms, Ted, yes.

Ted :
Yeah, well, but I mean also 
all the talking and laughing
and all that stuff. Yeah?

Sassy :
Sure. Well, apart from
all your dreadful puns.

Ted :
Right. Well, it's tough.
Sometimes I just see 'em there, and I
gotta take a swing at 'em, you know?
No, I... Well, what I'm getting at is...

Well, I was just thinking maybe we could 
go on an actual date sometime.
You know? You and me, together.

Sassy :
God, no.

Ted :
Well, I appreciate you taking
the time to consider it.

Sassy :
Ted, we can't date.

Ted :
Why not?

Sassy :
You're a mess.

Ted :
I'm a mess?

Sassy :
Course you are.
I'm a mess too, but I'm a mess
three years further on than you,
so I'm more of a - slight disarray.

Ted :
More like a slight disarray
of sunshine, if you ask me.

Sassy :
Oh, God.

Ted :
- Sorry.

Sassy :
Ted, on the day my ex got remarried,
I drank a bottle of red wine 
through a straw and told my 
Uber driver I was 
in love with him.

Then, when he dropped me home
I puked so much, my mouth 
was like an elevator from 
The goddamn Shining.

….Knocked my rating 
down to a 3.9.

Ted :
3.9?

Sassy :
Fuck you. Why
What's yours?

…..Oh, God, you're a
5.0, aren't you?
Course you're a 5.0. How 
the fuck are you a 5.0?

Ted :
I don't know. I'm tidy
I say "Please" and 
"Thank you." — 

Sometimes I offer to 
drive if they look tired.

Sassy :
You are such a mess.

Ted, I like our status.

Friends with benefits, like —
Natalie Portman and 
Ashton Kutcher.

Ted :
No. I think you're thinking of 2011's other
good-friends-turned-casual-lovers based 
Rom-com : No Strings Attached.

Friends with Benefits 
was Mila Kunis and 
Justin Timberlake.

Sassy :
Wow…. 2011
friends be fuckin'.

Ted :
….Yeah.

Sassy :
So, let's keep things
2011. Cool and breezy.

Ted :
Like an Arab Spring.

Sassy :
And good luck against
West Ham this weekend.

Fuck Rupert and that shriveled 
raisin-pouch he calls a nutsack.


******

Sassy :
Hello! Here for Flo?

Über Driver :
You can jump in, love.

Sassy :
Lovely, thank you.

This is nice. Gray
seats? Yes, please.
