There’s a song by Stephen Sondheim (I forget which show) where the man builds this rapturous praise of the lady until reaching a climactic “Juuuune!” to which she counters, “Apriiiil…”
For those of you who’ve asked:Yes, the names in the gag here are different than the ones used in the comic on my website. Ironic, inside joke or major flub up? You decide.
The Sondheim show was Company, the song is Barcelona. The lead character Bobby has spent the night with a stewardess who has to leave for work on a flight to Barcelona. He begs her not to go, and when she finally changes her mind and stays, he instantly regrets it. Great song.
Gail, Gina, it doesn’t matter. If you’re wealthy enough you can call me Gerhard and I won’t care. It will made a good anecdote for when we get divorced and I take half of everything you have or ever will have.

She is setting him for the big D; she can claim that he has been cheating on her with another woman named Gina.

@John Lustig .
Nice flip of the imageAnd she DOES look more like a Ruby than a Rose. Finally,“For you, I’m gonna be a Gina.”
