Why do you have to point out how stupid everyone is all the time?

[In hotel ṛestạurạṇt]

Everybody is always, like, "Kelly, you are anorexic." And I'm, like, "No, I'm not!" I eat so much junk food, you wouldn't believe it! Just because I have a high metabolism.

John

Because I thought you were anorexic too.

Everybody does. Everybody thinks that.

John

Yeah, 'cause you look so--

Thank you! I know, but it's-- I mean, I eat whatever. I have a really high metabolism. Yeah. But, um-- My dad was an anorexic.

[sarcastically]

Really?

He, um, fought on the American side of the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. He was taken prisoner and the whole time he was there they tortured him about food. Every day they told him they put poison in the food. So, they would always make themselves throw up after every meal.

John

That's horrible!
