Lonnie steers the delivery van through a snowstorm, "These fucking people. The way they're driving you'd think they'd all suddenly got teleported in here from a desert and had never seen snow before instead of probably living in Cleaveland their whole lives. I'd run into them just for fun and so we could take the rest of the day off, but I don't need to get written up again. So is your buddy still upset over that broad he was banging?"
"North?"
"He's your buddy. I don't know his fucking name."
"Probably North. Yeah, he's still pretty down. It's hard to get him to leave the house anymore."
"Tell him there are plenty of fish in the sea."
"Actually I heard fishery stocks were down worldwide."
Lonnie looks over at Jake in disgust, "Funny."
"Look out!" Jake yells, noticing that they are about to run into the back of a Hummer that's spun out in front of them.
"Relax!" Lonnie says, and steers around the Hummer in a fluid motion, "Tell North to find another girlfriend. That's the easiest way to get over heartbreak."
"You think so?"
"Think so? I know so. You're talking to a guy who got divorced one morning and married that afternoon."
"Really?"
"Well, I was drunk at the time and in Vegas and the second marriage got annulled because the bride blacked out after the ceremony, but yeah, I did."
"What I don't understand is how people can just jump into another relationship after they've had a bad one. I mean what makes them think it's just the person they were in a relationship with that's messed up. Maybe it's them who's messed up."
"Are you saying I'm messed up, kid?"
"Uh, no. I was just speaking hypothetically."
"Oh. Well, in that case, I won't crash into the car ahead of us. I think it's love, man, it's a weird thing. We seem to always want it. It's like a driver in a snowstorm and all the other cars are wiped out on the side of the road. Instead of stopping and pulling over or turning around, he keeps going because he thinks he's the one that's going to make it and all the others were just bad drivers."
"I usually just turn around when that happens," Jake says.
"It's a wonder you ever get laid, kid."
