Denzel: None of us are as svelte as we used to be. Gwen: That's true enough. I'm not as petite as I used to be, that's for sure. Denzel: How come you've never mentioned this ex-boyfriend before? Gwen: Oh, I'd almost forgotten about him. Oh, no. I hope that guy over there didn't see me. Denzel: Who? That short, stocky guy? Gwen: No, the average height guy who's walking this way. He's another one of my exes. I'd hoped never to see him again. Denzel: It was a bad breakup? Gwen: Right. Let's head toward the door. Denzel: Why hadn't you mentioned him before? Gwen: I thought I had. There have been so many... Denzel: Don't look now, but your ex is also headed toward the door. Gwen: Which one? Denzel: The tall medium build guy walking next to you!
