Abe: Joan, how could you lie to me?
Joan: Abe, try to understand, I —
Abe: Oh, I understand. You sold us all a bill of goods, and those goods turned out to be bad. Then you sold me up the river.
Joan: That may be, but I sent you up that river with my heart as a paddle.
Abe: But you took that paddle, and smacked me in the face. And I wear my heart on my sleeve, so when I wiped my face, I got heart all over it.
Joan: G— wait, what're we talking about?
Abe: I don't know Joan, but I do know this — you have to shoot those freethrows!
