I root for Rupp and then he has to do the stupid O thing.

Galen: I don't know about this Alberto.

Alberto: They're doing twice as much. Just this will put you right there with the form you're in.

Galen: You told me the same thing

Alberto: I've told you drop it with that issue.

Galen: Oh yeah? Then why did Alex say

Alberto: Who told you that?

Galen: I overheard him at your birthday party.

Alberto: Don't listen to him. He's a fricken idiot.

Galen: Can I ask you something Alberto?

Alberto: Shoot.

Galen: Why did you tell me it was Alex's girlfriend's?

Alberto: Because it was.

Galen: No it's not, I looked it up on the Internet. It doesn't have any potential remedies for the kind of rash you said she had.

Alberto: Well maybe I had the plant mistaken. What did you look up?

Galen: Giant Hogweed.

Alberto: Hmm that doesn't sound right. I'll ask her tonight to see if she remembers.

There's Ward!
