3. Yeah, well, I'm face-blind. Prosapagnosic. It's a common co-condition of Asp...asparagus. Eating too much asparagus. Ah, never mind.
4. Look. Your face is just another object to me, and just as forgettable. Eventually I'll remember you. Give it another month. Or three.
5. Even then, I won't recognize you by your face, per se, but by prominent characteristics. Hair. Glasses. Chest size.
6. Yeah, that's why you've seen me look. Involuntarily, I promise: it's an aid to remembering you and I never seem to catch myself in time. Especially if you've dressed so as to draw attention there, as you so often do.
7. Yes, I'm sure I'm not lesbian.
8. Yes, even though I don't have a boyfriend.
9. Well, because I like being alone. Tragedy, I know.

11. Yes, yes, I'll go away. Sure.
