In the car the other day, we had this conversation:
***********
Him: Listen. That guy on the radio is getting paid to lie. I'm not.
Me: C'mon, you never thought that??
Him: What do you want? You want me to go all 'emo' on you? You want me to comb my hair down over my face? I can't, its not long enough.
***********
Another time, after telling me how he helped one of my friends dispose of her deceased pet,
***********
Him: I don't think I'd help you, though, even if you were crying. I don't want you to be emotional. I want you to be strong. Like a German.
