Alex: Who could've foreseen I'd find myself in a trailer park - and happy! My life would make such a great movie! I can't believe all you're handling now, Leo - the studio job, college, the band, all your therapy... I don't know how you have the mindshare for a girlfriend - especially one as high-maintenance as me! I might as well pack my bags now. Why would you want to worry about me when you have so many challenges of your own? Why? Because it's a lot easier to manage if you're not alone! A partner's support can keep you strong! That's why! Nicely handled. Toggle: Got yourself in, f-f-figured you could walk yourself back.

It is a wise man, who knows when to speak, and when to wait until a woman is done speaking.

Coherent sentences! He ‘s making great progress. Keeping his mouth shut at the right times is an amazing bit of wisdom for any man.

I know this whole arc is a repeat, but I love the interplay between these two - and I love Leo’s calm wisdom and kindness.

Nice smile on Leo’s face in panel-6. I suspect he’s already heard this speech before.

Cambridge is a congested city; there aren’t any trailer parks there the same way that there aren’t trailer parks in Manhattan or Pittsburgh or Miami or St. Louis or just about any other city.
Any other moronic potshots you want to take?

It’s not clear to me why John Kerry would be involved in zoning issues in Cambridge, MA.. God may watch every little sparrow (and local zoning issue), but I doubt that U S Senators do.

“Sen. Kerry” is just some kind of soupnuts shorthand for socialism or fluoridation or whatever’s boiling their bedpans this week.
