George gives Crystal advice on how to break up with someone.
Crystal: Hey, George, actually it's funny that you mentioned relationships cause I'm actually having a problem with Joe.
George: Is that the guy with the curly hair?
Crystal: Yeah, that guy. He's really nice and everything, but like I really don't think it's working out.
George: Why what's wrong?
Crystal: Well, he's really narrow-minded and I'm really different. We just ... he's nice and everything. He's kind and sweet, and it's just not for me, like we're totally different people.
George: I see. So what are you going to do?
Crystal: I think I have to rip the band-aid and I think I'm just gonna send him an e-mail or something.
George: E-mail! But you've been dating for awhile now and you like him right?
Crystal: Yeah, we're like so sweet together, but it's just ... I don't see a future.
George: But isn't an e-mail just a little too cold and he might tell other people about it, and rumors spreading and what not.
Crystal: OK, then, what do you think I should do? How should I do it?
George: You should probably just meet him face-to-face?
Crystal: Ugh! Face-to-face. OK. Where should I meet him? Like do you think I should just invite him over to my place?
George: You should probably do it in public, where, you know...
Crystal: Ooh, good, good, good, good. That's better.
George: Maybe that cafe.
Crystal: Ah, that cafe. Yeah.
George: While I'm having my date, you can be breaking up with your boyfriend. It'll be great!
Crystal: You're so mean.
George: I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.
Crystal: I don't know what to say. What do you think would hurt him less?
George: I gotta say honesty would be the best policy.
Crystal: Honesty. OK, so this is what I'm going to say. Joe, you're great, but we're not meant to be. How's that?
George: Yeah, it's great. It's great.
Crystal: OK, so, OK, OK, I'm done. I think I'll meet him at the cafe, and OK, things will work from then. I'll improvise.
