Carol : [chuckles] How do you - How do you get two Mohawks? I...
Robert : You put two Mohawks together, and you...

Carol : Maybe he's just trying to figure himself out.
Robert : Yeah, he's been trying for a while.

Carol : Oh.
Robert : Do you understand? I mean... It seemed like a good idea.
Carol : Of course. I get it. That is just my luck, man. I finally meet a guy I really like and turns out he's married.
Robert : I guess that's it, yeah.
Carol : Good night, Robert.
