Dan I think we need a new coffee table.

Mark Why? I like my coffee table.

Dan No, I know you did, but—

Angry Mark DID?!

Dan Well. We need a new coffee table.

Angry Mark What happened to my coffee table?

Sad Dan No need to be mad.

Angry Mark That remains to be seen, based on what happened.

Dan Well. Debra was over.

Mark Debra… Debra the clown?

Happy Dan No, Claudia was the clown.

Mark Debra the sword-swallower?

Happy Dan That was Marcy.

Mark Did you just go down a carnival’s address book?

Happy Dan No, just odd that way.

Mark So what does Debra do?

Dan She does competitive parkour.

Happy Mark Oh come on, you really are a member of a Carnival Dating Service, aren’t you. Admit it!

Happy Dan I’m not, I swear!

Mark So go on. Go on, and explain to me how your… oh.

Sad Dan Yeah, oh. She was all showing me this standing backflip off the couch and—

Angry Mark Didn’t you think this was a bad idea?

Dan To my credit, I did.

Angry Mark But did you stop it?

Sad Dan I did not.

Angry Mark Right. So she did her backflip and you were sure the table could survive and then—

Sad Dan And then it didn’t.

Mark Where, out of curiosity, was I when this happened?

Dan I thought you were asleep.

Mark Fair, then, wait, I walked right by the table today. It looked fine.

Dan Uhm.

Angry Mark What.

Dan Looked fine is right. If you had even nudged it it probably would have fallen apart again.

Mark So when does the new table—

Dan Tomorrow.

Mark Thank you. And keep your travelling circus of women from destroying anything else. Lord, it’s like the Circus of Crime around the apartment, I swear.
