No, I promise. I'm sorry.
Just stop.
S.F.L.B.B.
What's your fucking problem,
asshole?
BOBBY
Why don't you just back off
and give her the phone back.
S.F.L.B.B.
What are you gonna fucking
do?
BOBBY
I don't know. I'll just stick
around and see what happens.
Slight pause.
L.B.H.M.
(to Bobby)
Oh, fuck you. Mind your own
fucking business.
BOBBY
Whatever you say, lady. You two
have a good night.

Bobby goes to his car. As he drives by the two, he slows down to see if everything is okay. The two now are embraced in a hug. L.B.H.M. gives Bobby the finger and mouths something along the lines of "Puck Moo." Bobby leaves the parking structure, deciding to get a Slurpee on the way home.
I hope that slurpee was good.
