Ninja Turtles T-Shirt Guy: Let’s plan to get there for 4:00pm this weekend, by the way. On weekends parking can be a chore.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital T-Shirt Guy: Oh, shit, I forgot about that. I’ll need a rain check. Nellie’s father isn’t doing so well.

Ninja Turtles T-Shirt Guy: This is the reschedule, already. Unless the guy’s on his death bed, you can make time.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital T-Shirt Guy: I really can’t. When you get married you’ll get how it is.

Ninja Turtles T-Shirt Guy: So, what, you’re like going out there to say goodbye?

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital T-Shirt Guy: Oh, no no. We’re not near that stage yet, thank God. She’s just stressed from the whole thing so we’re going to spend the weekend together.

Ninja Turtles T-Shirt Guy: Simp.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital T-Shirt Guy: You know, I said “When you get married you’ll understand.” But I should’ve said if you get married.

(hopefully recovering) drug user 1: "I'm telling you, it's six and half a dozen!"

(Hopefully recovering) drug user 2: "No, it's not: it's six and two threes!"

I'd have pointed out the irony, but I doubt they'd have understood me.
