Men

Wow, she’s really hot, I’m happy for you.

I’m glad too. . .That it all worked out.

They both stopped and took a drink.

You weren’t glad for a while, but now you are. Right?

Well, you know, she just wasn’t making me happy.

They both took a drag from their cigarettes.

But now you fixed it and you’re glad. Right?

Right, it’s fixed and I’m glad—

He stopped for a moment and took a big glump

—And man am I glad it’s fixed!

What happened? How’d you fix it?

Contemplating the question, they both took a drag from their cigarettes.

All I really had to do was just make her happy.

Oh, I see, and that made you both pretty glad I guess!

They both stopped and took another drink.

Well, you know, I’m glad too. That it all worked out and that you’re both glad.

I know, I’m glad it all worked out. She’s really hot.
