NICK: Oh, god, I’m so drunk.
ME: Really?
NICK: That Trippel is brutal.
ME: Honey, I don’t think—and this is just my opinion, you understand—I don’t think you should come into the living room, hug and kiss your girlfriend, declare she’s the “best girl in the world,” and then stagger off saying, “Oh god, I’m so drunk.”
NICK: Those were unrelated acts! Unrelated!

In which Nick experiments with advanced Wii Fit Boxing:
NICK: I think I tried it once before, and just completely freaked out.
ME: Well, you completely freaked out this time, too. And when you freak out, you just start punching wildly.
NICK: You have to admit, it’s a useful survival trait.
ME: I was about to argue exactly the opposite.
NICK: Really?

Nick exercises while watching Good Game on the TiVo.
NICK: Theme Park!
ME: Wasn’t it a good game?
NICK: No, because you couldn’t stop the little bastards from vomiting.
ME: Sorry?
NICK: They’d go on rides, and they’d go too fast, and then they’d vomit everywhere. And you had to hire garbage collectors, and . . . god.
ME: Okay, then.
Who says games are no substitute for real life?
