A restaurant scene. A red-haired woman in pink leans across a yellow-clothed table clutching a knife, declaring in a large speech bubble, "I CARVED YOUR NAME INTO MY FACE BECAUSE WE'RE IN LOVE." Across from her, a blond man in a green shirt sits with a wine bottle and glass. The caption below reads: "I could already tell she was going to be one of those girls who expects you to pay for everything" — the joke being that he fixates on her being a freeloader rather than the alarming self-mutilation. Votey: a sketchy close-up of the man's worried face, with the thought, "I hope she's not clingy."
