Transcript:
Jimbo: When Rose has a friend over...I know that they will chitchat for hours... Small talk makes me uneasy...engaging in trivial conversations is very stressful...I never know what to say. So I'll sit here quietly and wait for an opportunity... To politely leave. Rose: Mindy! Where are my manners?! I forgot to offer you something to drink! Mindy: Don't worry, Rose! I'm fine! Jimbo: No, Rose! Don't leave me! Rose: I insist! Coffee or tea? Mindy: Okay, tea please. Jimbo: If I must choose between awkward silence or small talk...I'll choose awkward silence every time! Mindy: So, Jimbo...tell me... Jimbo: Uh-oh...here it comes! Mindy: What's going on in your life? Jimbo: Nuthin.
