Serendipity

The laws of chance, strange as it seems,
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be

Coupling (2)

[ou «Maybe they’re not crossed all the time»]

Jeff, Steve & Patrick

Patrick – The problem is: how do I tell Jennifer about Sally? How do I make it seem credible that I know a woman?
Steve – You just have to explain that Sally is an attractive single female friend with whom you have an entirely non-sexual relation.
Patrick – Well, that’s what I’ve told her. I already said that.
Steve – Good.
Patrick – I mean, I summarized.
Steve – Summarized?
Patrick – Yeh, I thought “lesbian” covered it.
Steve – You told her that Sally is a lesbian?
Patrick – I hinted that, yes…
Steve – Hinted?
Patrick – I hinted something in that general area…
Steve – What did you say?
Patrick – I said that Sally is the kind of woman who… is… a lesbian.
Steve - Sally? Who’s going to believe that Sally is a lesbian?
Jeff – Sally could be a lesbian…
Steve – Jeff, please.
Jeff - …with a bit of effort, no problem.
Steve – But she isn’t. That’s the point.
Jeff – It could happen, though. It could happen. She could be having a shower maybe and probably Jane would be there and she might happen to say “Jane, could you help me soap my breasts?”; “Your breasts, Sally?”; “Yes, Jane. It’s those tricky undersides.”; “Oh, I know what you mean, Sally. Breasts can be a real dirt trap. Let me get the shower nozzle”.
Steve – You do understand that there’s a difference between real life and low quality lesbian porn?
Jeff – You don’t know that.
Steve – What?
Jeff – You don’t know what women get up to when they’re on their own. Why reject the only evidence we have?
Steve – It’s not evidence!
Jeff- It might be. Maybe women are completely different when we’re not with them. Maybe they’re not crossed all the time.

Excelente!
Calhou mesmo bem a 2 dar a 4ª Série logo depois da SIC ter repetido as outras.

(Susan)- "Men - and I don't mean to generalize - are crap. They're the human race's only failed gender. Who needs them? And why are they so difficult to keep hold of? Do you think they realize, that were it not for the genetic imperative to populate the earth, they wouldn't get a date? That's one hell of an inducement: no pressure, girls, but shag one of these or it's curtains for all humankind! That's harassment. But do you know what? Do you know what's even more crap than men? We are more crap than men.... These magazines! A hundred pages of "men are useless bastards," and an article about why you should wake him up with a blow job. Am I alone in spotting the inconsistency here?"
