So Katie.
Yes, Ken.
What's the new situation going to be like?
Oh, Jeremy is feeling really low.

                                            • -

Hey, Jeremy! What's up?
Not much.
What can I get you?
Coffee. Very black, like my world.
Is anything the matter?
Yeah. Everything's the matter. My world is falling apart.
Is it work-related?
Work? No. Heart? Yes. Because it's breaking.
I get off work at 5:30. Would you care to join me for happy hour at ...
Don't say that word!
What?
Happy?
No! Not that word.
All right. Join me for "unhappy" hour at the Sunset Lounge. Is that better?
Much better.
Glad to hear that.
Oh, don't say glad either.

What do you have to say? I'm "unglad" to hear that.
Miserable.
Wow! He's at the bottom of misery.
Yes.
So the leading characters are …
Grace
And the man
Jeremy.
Jeremy and Grace.
And Grace works at the Red Jug Cafe.
OK. And they've been friends.
Yes.
Yes.
They go way back.
Right.
Way back.
OK.
So when Jeremy needs someone to talk to, he goes to Grace.
Oh I see.
And Jeremy definitely needs someone to talk to.
Evidently. We don't know what his problem is yet, but yeah ... we will find one.
Yeah. So she gets off work at 5:30 and they are going to have a chat.
I would like to be a fly on the wall.
Oh!
We will be.
They talk about ...
Oh, we will be
We will be listening to everything.
That's right.

Jeff.
Uh-huh.
What's the new situation going to be like?
Well, they've had a little too much to drink.

                                                    • -

Here's to life in the fast lane again!
Yup.
You're not the happy, carefree Jeremy I used to know. What's going on?
Well, to make a long story short, my girlfriend, Kelsey, won't text me or return my calls.
Don't let it get to you. She probably misplaced her cellphone.
But today is her birthday and we had plans to go out dancing.
Oh, dear.
Shall we dance, Grace?
We shall, cha cha cha.
Cha cha cha.

Well, they are happy.
They are. They don't seem to let it get to them.
Right.
No.

So much emotion.
A lot of emotion.
Sadness. Frustration, anger ...
Wow.

                              • -

So, Katie, what's the new situation going to be like this time?
Oh, dear, Ken, they both get very emotional.

                                  • -

I don't think Kelsey is into me anymore.
Why do you say that?
She told me that I have no ambition.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Well, that's what she said.
Oh, my. I can't believe it.
Nothing I do is good enough.
She should get her head checked.
Nothing I say is right.
You should break up with her.
I will.
When?
That's a good question.

Well? What's the answer?
Ugh ... I'll sleep on it.
Ugh!!

Well ...
I think she has his best interest at heart.
OK, yeah. He seems to be a bit of a procrastinator.
Yes.
Kind of undecided.
Undecided. You can't make decisions.
Right
Change is hard.
That's true. Yeah. Problem, problem, trouble, trouble, trouble.
Oh my goodness. That's putting it mildly.
True.
He seems a little undecided but he is a nice guy.
Yes he is, you know.
That's right.
Yeah. Is that ...
I guess ... hmm ... Kelsey thinks he has no ambition.
Nothing seems to be further from the truth.
He is a nice guy.
He is nice. He is Jeff Manning. I'm not saying.

Why do you say that?
No, I didn't mean that. I wonder what's going to happen after this.
I wonder too.
Do you think we'll find out next week, maybe?
Maybe tomorrow.
Oh, maybe tomorrow?
Oh!

It's going from bad to worse.
A rude awakening. (嫌な直感、不都合なことが起こること)

Try calling Kelsey one more time.
Okay. Hmm ... She's not picking up.
Leave a message.
Wait a minute. Kelsey is here!
Where?
Over there in that corner booth.
Oh.
She's with Burt Englehart!
They're getting up to dance!
Hmm ... She's wearing the dress I gave her for Christmas.
Oh, Jeremy. You deserve better.
I know now.
Are you going to break up with her?
That's a good question.
Jeremy, you're hopeless.


He is having a tough time.

I wonder what's going to happen next.
Me too.
I know. He does deserve better.
Right. Well, the story continues, right?
Yes.
I can't wait.
