Ed. Hey Rocky! You’ve been sitting around all night. Get out and dance with someone like that woman over there.
Rocky. No way! She looks like the intellectual type.
Ed. Oh come on man! What kind of woman do you like?
Rocky. I want a woman who’s affectionate and fulfills my every need, and that woman over there is just not the right type.

Ed. Okay, but what are your household responsibilities once you get home from work?

Rocky. Well, that’s the way I am, but what’s YOUR idea of the perfect woman?
Ed. Well, I like a woman who’s outgoing, caring, and non-judgmental about people’s differences, and it bothers me when people think them the center of the universe… like someone I know.
Rocky. Well, that’s nice for you, but that doesn’t change my point of view. I guess I’ll have to go home to a TV dinner and my dog, Rusty.
Ed. Hey, and if I stick with you, this is going to be a long, lonely night. Say hello to Rusty for me.
