Transcript excerpt

I saw a girl I liked the other day, and I got the courage to tell her that I liked her. Wait, there she good. Hello. Not again. I thought you were my lover. You say I'm just a friend. I no you like to dance. I just panicked at the disco. Look at her panties. Sysco. I don't no, but I like to rank, but now I'm just drunk and alone with my bottle. Oh, the state of the world is crazy. So why are you mad at me? Because I'm freaking lazy. No. No. No. No. No. I'm a people pleaser, but today I say no. Thanks for coming to my show. I I love her. Better. Hate you. You're a liar. It's just me. Again, your friend, your lover, your boyfriend. Maybe in the next lifetime. See you again. I see you next lifetime. Yeah. I see you again. I bid you badu.
