Well?

I need a little more time

To think about it.

Oh! You are so full of crap.

Gwen, if I wanted to break up with you,

I would just tell you.

You never want to do the work.

But we could see a counselor,

Or you could find a group.

Hi. Um, my name is frank,

And I have a problem with love.

All: hi, frank!

Hi.

Hi. My name's frank,

And I have a problem with my parents.

Hi. My name's frank,

And I have a problem with inertia.

Hi. Hi. My name's frank,

And have a problem with my job.

Hi. My name's frank,

And, hey...you guys feel like, maybe...

Ughhhhhh !

R works.

You'll still be the same person.

Well, maybe I'll be more.

They'll see more.

You look at me this way,

I'm a slug.

But you look at me that way...

Announcer: time for another thrilling adventure of...

Thank god that you did nothing, frank squared.

Any action would have triggered the b*mb

And destroyed all of tokyo.

I swear to god,

If I don't do someg now,

I'll miss my chance.

I'll have this life for the rest of my life.

I just want to... Clean the palate.

Wipe it all away.

Especially us.

I didn't say that.

Well, say something about me.

Hit it!

Wow. That sounded good.

Look, gwen, I'm sorry. I was trying--

No.

The only reason we ever got involved

Was so you could get over chloe.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Ok, I know

What I'm talking about

Because I've been involved with frank.

Now the key to frank's survival--

He starts marking the fire exit

From the moment go.

Even in the best of times,

He drops comments like...

God, I don't know

If I can handle this much happiness.

Or...

It's not that I'm afraid of commitment.
