"Hey Hugo" Kim said smiling.
"Kim," Hugo grinned, "I was thinking about you all day today. How have you been?"
"Great," Kim said, "I actually feel like I'm not a loser anymore."
"You've never been a loser," Hugo said.
"Aw," Kim said, "That's so sweet"
"Actually," Hugo said, "There's something that I want to give to you."
"Oh cool," Kim said, "What is it?" ...
"You gave her your pick? Are you crazy," Hugo's friend Rich asked him.
"You don't know how to live," Hugo said with a smile.
"Dude do you have any idea what you did. You opened up a bag of worms."
"Great," Hugo said, "I love worms."
"Hugo seriously," Rich replied, "You made it more difficult for yourself. Now Kim is going to expect you to always agree with everything she wants all the time" ... "Is it true," Ursella asked, "You really got pinned?"
"I really got pinned Urs," Kim said excitedly.
"How did you get him to agree," Ursella asked.
"Well I really didn't," Kim said, "It was Hugo's idea and his decision. I didn't say a word."
"Oh Kim you are so lucky. I mean you are absolutely so lucky. Your Hugo is amazing. Most guys would never do that on their own."
"Hold on a second Urs," Kim said ...

"Do you have any idea what you did to us men Hugo," Rich asked, "OUR girlfriends are going to expect us to treat them as well as you treat Kim."
"Well there's a tragedy," Hugo said sarcastically.
"We're men," Rich said, "We cannot allow the women to be in charge," Rich said, "It would be a disaster"
"Why would it be a disaster," Hugo asked beginning to get a little annoyed.
"Men are supposed to be in charge," Rich said ... "Hugo is wonderful," Kim said, "But I would never take advantage of that. He's way too sweet to ever try to manipulate. I know he loves me. I know that he thinks the world of me and I think the world of him. It's not ever worth ruining it,"
"Aw Kim do you know what this means. You're a woman."
"I know Urs. I can wear lipstick and heals and stay out after ten. Life's lovely when you're a woman like me"

...
"Rich we don't live in the seventeen hundred's anymore. Women are not the property of their husbands or boyfriends. They are free independent creatures not anything less. The idea that it is not that way is an absolute insult. Kim and I are in love. Going steady for good. Kim is definitely a winner in my eyes.
"A WINNER! Hugo don't say that where she can hear you."
"The sound you hear is me hanging up on you," Hugo said and hung up.

"Hi Margie"
"Hi Ursella"
"What's the story morning glory what's the word humming bird"
"Have you heard about Hugo and Kim?"
"Hi Nancy"
"Hi Alice"
"What's the story. Morning glory. What's the tale nightingale"
"Tell me quick about Hugo and Kim"
"Did she really get pinned. Did she kiss him and cry"
"Did he pin the pin on"
"Was he too shy"

"Well I heard she got pinned."
"I just knew that she would..." The phone operator had to take the phone out of her ears.
