Talking About Boring People

M: ...that's actually acceptable but like, sometimes I'm in conversations and I just like want to yell "Boring!" And like I actually did it one time and uh my dad was talking and it was like in a big group and I was like "BOOOO-RIIING!" and everybody liked it and like I think that everybody knew that it was boring and wanted to move on to something else but nobody knew how to say and I did know how to say it by saying "Boring" in a loud, boorish voice.

A: What did your dad do--

M: He thought it was funny.

A: --did he like go home and kill himself?

M: He probably felt bad about himself too.

A: Who is this? Is it like--

M: Just like this girl

A: --a specific guy? I thought it was like a vague, general, faceless--

M: No, no, no. It was a girl I went on a date with two weeks ago or whatever.

A: Oh yeah, so are you kind of nervous--do you have to leave soon or what?

M: I have to call her I haven't called her. I was supposed to call her on Friday. So yeah, I do have to go soon. But I don't want to be rude, you know. But I came you know. Good work everybody, by the way.

A: Came to what?

M: Good work. Good work.

A: What do you mean, "Came?" Of course I came.

M: Yeah, I know. I was worried because it took you a while.

A: I was like nervous because I thought I was missing something.

M: Yeah, cause um it means a lot to old Jad there. He doesn't show much but he's got the--
