George: "So, last night! Wow! I mean, What a night!"
Chuck: "What did you do or I mean, who did you do? HAHAHAA!"
George: "I was with Alexia. She is so sweet! We held hands and looked into each others eyes - that was the entrée of the evening. I'm not a sex fiend like you, Chuck. Now let's go mug that old lady!"
