— Any news on the boyfriend front?
— I was kind of seeing someone. An author.
— And what happened?
— He committed suicide.
— Oh, I'm so sorry.
— It's all right, honestly, really. I didn't really like him very much. I liked him even less after he committed suicide.
— How did he do it?
— Threw himself off a building. He couldn't even do that properly. It was only a 3 storey building. He would have survived, only a car ran him over.
<...>
— What sort of books did he write?
— Self-help.

I think if there is a God, he takes a lot of long lunches.

— You just have to be patient. It's the worst thing that can happen to a woman to lose a baby.
— Why is it the worst thing can happen to a woman? What about man? Why does everyone think that nothing happens to the man? Just 'cause I didn't birth to him doesn't mean I don't... that I didn't love him.
