Jim: Man, Lizzie really wants me tonite! It's weird because usually she doesn't gives me the time of day.

Danny: Uh.. lets see.. She's drunk off her ass, she just caught her boyfriend cheating on her with a skank, and she got fired from KFC today. Use the context clues bro! She doesn't like you, she's just desperate!
