[B:] " Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan, please."
[T:] Um, stop me if you've heard this one, but I feel as though we've met before.
Perhaps I am mistaken. [B:] But it's just that I remind you of someone you used to care about.
Oh, but that was long ago.
Now tell me, do you really think I'd fall for that old line? I was not born just yesterday.
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
[T:] Hell, I ain't such a bad guy once you get to know me.
Just thought there ain't no harm. [B:] Hey-e-yeh, just try minding your own business, bud.
Who asked you to annoy me with your sad, sad repartee?
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
Your life's a dime store novel.
This town is full of guys like you.
And you're looking for someone to take the place of her.
[T:] You must be reading my mail. 'N' you're bitter 'cause he left you.
That's why you're drinkin' in this bar. [B &T:] Well, only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers.
[B:] It always takes one to know one, stranger. [T:] Maybe we're just wiser now. [B:] Yeah, 'n' been around the block so many times [T:] that we don't notice [B &T:] that we're all just perfect strangers as long as we ignore that we all begin as strangers just before we find we really aren't strangers anymore.
[B:] " Aw, you don't look like such a chump."
[T:] " Aw, hey babe."
