When you leaving?Soon. Can you swing by and give me a hand?What do you mean?Men. You know, give me a hand. You're my boyfriend, she says, speaking verysimply and plainly. If I get popped, you're supposed to come around and helpbust me out. Isn't everyone supposed to know this stuff? Don't parents teachtheir kids anything anymore?Well, uh, where are you?Buy 'n' Fly number 501,762.I'm on my way to Bernie with a super-ultra.As in San Bernardino. As in super-ultra-high-priority delivery. As in, you'reout of luck.Okay, thanks for nothing.Awwww, he begins.Surfing safety, Y.T. says, in the traditional sarcastic sign off.Keep breathing, Roadkill says. The roaring noise snaps off.What a jerk. Next date, he's really going to have to grovel. But in themeantime, there's one other person who owes her one. The only problem is thathe might be a spaz. But it's worth a try.
