Transcript:
Nate: .... So then Francis got all bent out of shape and decided to give me the "silent treatment"! real mature right? And then after a while, I thought: wait a minute! why am i the only one getting the "silent treatment"? why shouldn't i give Francis the "silent treatment"? That makes sense, don't you think? I think it makes sense! so now neither one of us is speaking! we're giving each other the "silent treatment"! Mr. Rosa: Why dosen't anyone ever give me the "silent treatment"?
I have never seen one word used in a comic so many times!
