(Guy and a girl, talking loudly at a Thai restaurant.)

Guy: Wait, what did you say? I’m the queen of miscommunication?

Girl: No! No, I said I was -

Guy: Well. This is ironic.

(Two girls, talking in an outdoor shopping center.)

Girl 1: *whisper… whisper* … all those BLIND PEOPLE!

Girl 2: Omigod, that girl just turned around and looked at us. Do you think she’s blind?

(Guy, at a campsite, sitting down in a chair.)

Guy: Dude… the atmosphere just pissed on me.

(Two girls, at a restaurant, listening to the conversation behind them.)

Girl 1: Wow. I’ve never actually heard a man order for his wife before. Like, I knew it existed.

Girl 2: Yeah, he might as well be wearing a Viking helmet.

(A boy and girl, checking out in a bookstore.)

Girl (getting out card): Hey, I’ll get this one.

Guy: Fine. Just emasculate me even more.

Girl : We’ll trade. On the way home, you can get lost and not ask for directions.

(Two guys in a liquor shop.)

Guy 1: What are we looking for?

Guy 2: A guy, like, four liters wide. Name is Carlo. If you punch him, he leaks wine everywhere.

(Two guys, carrying furniture into an apartment.)

Guy 1:  I’m getting old. Like, I’m excited about buying a trash can.

Guy 2: Santa is sobbing right now.

(Girl and a guy, walking through NYC.)

Girl: Christ. This place makes me want to buy a cow.

(Girl at a petting zoo, looking at a goat on a roof.)

Girl: Oh my God! Is that goat going to kill himself?

(A crowd of students, lying on a blanket, watching a meteor shower.)

Guy 1: There goes another!

Girl: I haven’t seen a single one.

Guy 1: You have to be a guy to see them.

Guy 2: Hey, I didn’t see it either.

Guy 1: Well, you have to be gay then, too.

Guy 2: Damnit.

(Girl, talking to her boyfriend at a Starbucks.)

Girl: Lady Gaga is playing a big joke on our culture. One day she’s gonna unzip her flesh and there’ll just be a giant alien clown inside.

(Girls, getting ready for a party.)

Girl 1: I need to take a shower first. My hair is gross.

Girl 2: Just put it in a babushka.

Girl 1: Babush-no.
