I caught the train to London in search of a future and a girlfriend.

It's always nice to have family connections when you're a new kid in town.

What the fuck do you want?

What about him?

I mean it. Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you.

I was actually having the first good idea I've had for a decade when you rang on the doorbell.

But now it's gone, you little shit.

Yeah, I never really liked him actually.

Yeah, you wouldn't like her at first.

But eventually you'd realize that she's the best human being in the world, which is why she left me, of course.

Apparently everyone else has.

And the work didn't help on that score either.

Who knows? We might become pals, etc..

Well, I hope you're better than this clown.

I'm just saying that to be nice. It's two years actually.

No matter how many girls there were in the world, I always seemed to end up with Rory.
