DAVE: Gog damnit Rose i already told you to stop going on those stupid dates with those guys they obviously don’t know how to handle you

DAVE: how does anyone handle flighty broads and their snarky horseshit i don’t know

DAVE: its impossible

ROSE: I’ll give you credit for trying your hand at comforting, Strider.

ROSE: But alas, you were never one for such tender sharing of emotions

ROSE: You never are, and never will be

ROSE: Woe is me.

DAVE: screw this

DAVE: don’t joke with me lalonde i’m trying to do something here

DAVE: you just stop hanging out with those tools

DAVE: and stay around with me

DAVE: until i win the award for being the best genuine comic writer and you start keeping dogs instead of cats and my dick and your breasts are sultanas

ROSE: Strider, I’m not sure where you’re getting at

DAVE: i love you

DAVE: hahahaha

And then he promptly flips the fuck out and absconds because he cannot can anymore.

This is what happens after Rose’s date dumps her.
