What I mean is...

Okay so the thing is that, uh...

Hey Martha, how are you?

Adam, I hope

you like blueberries.

Oh wow. Thanks.

You didn't have to do all this.

Oh, nonsense.

Oh yeah?

It's so nice to have a good

strong man like yourself

Besides, she's trying

to set me up with her niece.

Dude, then bang

What are you waiting for?

I don't think

I could do that, man.

- The thing is... dude, I don't

wanna hear your excuses.

You're too damn nitpicky.

That's why

you're on a cold streak.

I don't care
