00:00:01.910 --> 00:00:04.880 align:middle line:84%
So I think from that the
next one appropriately

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:06.710 align:middle line:90%
is titled Ex-boyfriends.

00:00:06.710 --> 00:00:11.270 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.270 --> 00:00:14.750 align:middle line:84%
They hang around hitting
on your friends or else,

00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:17.240 align:middle line:90%
you never hear from them again.

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:20.610 align:middle line:84%
They call when they're
drunk or finally get sober.

00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:22.970 align:middle line:84%
They're passing through
town and want dinner.

00:00:22.970 --> 00:00:25.850 align:middle line:84%
They take your hand
across the table, kiss

00:00:25.850 --> 00:00:28.700 align:middle line:84%
you when you come back
from the bathroom.

00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:32.420 align:middle line:84%
They were your loves, your
victims, your good dogs

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.870 align:middle line:84%
or bad boys and
they're over you now.

00:00:35.870 --> 00:00:39.380 align:middle line:84%
One writes a book in which a
woman who sounds suspiciously

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:42.770 align:middle line:84%
like you is the first to
be sadistically dismembered

00:00:42.770 --> 00:00:44.960 align:middle line:90%
by a serial killer.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.640 align:middle line:90%
True story.

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.290 align:middle line:84%
They're getting
married and want you

00:00:48.290 --> 00:00:51.470 align:middle line:84%
to be the first to know
or they've been fired

00:00:51.470 --> 00:00:52.580 align:middle line:90%
and need a loan.

00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:54.560 align:middle line:90%
Their new girlfriend hates you.

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.860 align:middle line:84%
They say they don't miss you
but show up in your dreams

00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:00.710 align:middle line:84%
calling to you from the
shoeboxes where they're buried

00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:03.170 align:middle line:90%
in rows in your basement.

00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:06.350 align:middle line:84%
Some nights, you find one
floating into bed with you

00:01:06.350 --> 00:01:10.160 align:middle line:84%
propped on an elbow, giving
you a look of fascination,

00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:13.400 align:middle line:84%
look that says, I can't
believe I've found you.

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.040 align:middle line:84%
It's the same way your
current boyfriend gazed at you

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.180 align:middle line:84%
last night before he pulled the
plug on the tiny white lights

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:24.470 align:middle line:84%
above the bed and moved
against you in the dark, broken

00:01:24.470 --> 00:01:29.480 align:middle line:84%
occasionally by the faint
restless arcs of headlights

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.790 align:middle line:84%
from the freeway's
passing trucks.

00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:36.110 align:middle line:84%
The big rigs that travel and
travel, hauling their loads

00:01:36.110 --> 00:01:40.790 align:middle line:84%
between cities, warehouses,
following the familiar routes

00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:43.360 align:middle line:90%
of their loneliness.
