the too scrutable americans

in an uptown bar last weekend -

woman to me, looking past boyfriend - just so that you're in the loop, we haven't had sex for the past three weeks. just so that you're in the loop.

woman to me, again - yeah, i've been so busy here, i'm so tired all the time. that's why i got off early today.

boyfriend to me - so i'm definitely getting some tonight.

me - well, now i'm in the loop.
