- Hey. - Hey.
- Wanna play shuffleboard? - Sounds great.
Hold on a second. Let me get my outside shoes.
So what have you been doing today?
Not too much. Had some breakfast, did my stretching,
got through almost half a crossword,
June left me...
- Reorganized my shirts... - Wait, what?
June left you? What...what do you mean?
Well...she left.
- Where did she go? - She didn't say.
- Is she coming back? - I don't know.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm not sure what else I can tell you.
She was kinda vague in the letter.
There's a letter? Can I see it?
It's kinda private.
Holy shit.
You left out the best part: she was lez the whole time.
That's not exactly accurate.
Dude, she dumped you for Kase... who's a chick.
It doesn't say anywhere that she's dumping me.
She just said that she needs some more time

I can't believe you're not freaking out right now.
Well...I'm an adult, Mark.
I can't do that stuff.
Look, I know it must be hard.
Would it make it easier for you if we just kinda went through
the things we didn't like about her?
- No. - I'll start.
She didn't laugh at my jokes. Bad sense of humor.
That's not true. She was hilarious.
Well, she was a poser.
