(George is in the Coffee shop as Jerry walks in and sits across from him)
Jerry: You look sad but something's different about your sadness today. Let me guess; you just invented a brand new human peeve or problem hitherto unknown to mankind.
George: Ya, an invention (snorts), right. I'm not an inventor, I'm more like the guy who gets crushed between all the overlapping human inventions, discoveries and what not.
Jerry: Which ones are you getting crushed under right now?
George: I think most of Sociology, some Physical Chemistry and a bit of Biology, which is always there. (Pause) Amy seems to be thinking of breaking up with me, I can sense it. That's one of the most well developed of all my senses.
Jerry: Why, why would she want to break up with you?
George: See, that I don't question, I have seen enough "why"s that it could be any of them or may be something new.
Jerry: Sure, they can always invent one. But George, this isn't a new problem. If I remember correctly, you pulled a preemptive breakup to some degree of success a few years ago. What about that.
George: I don't know if it was a success. It's hard to differentiate between success and failure within the context of a relationship. It's all relative and temporary and all that crap. Relationships aren't S.A.Ts. Not that I am any better with the S.A.Ts.
