                So, you’re leaving, aren’t you’
                I knew it when you said just then when you told me you were leaving
                That’s when I definitely knew
                But if you’re trying to break my heart
                Your plan is flawed from the start
                You can’t break my heart, it’s liquid
                It melted when I met you
                And as you turn around to leave
                Don’t’ turn back to me
                Don’t turn around and see if I’m crying
                I’m not crying

                I’m not crying
                It’s just been raining
                on my face
                And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks
                Please. Pleasee, don’t tell my mates
                I’m not crying
                No, I’m not crying
                And if I am crying
                It’s not because of you
                It’s because I’m thinking about a friend of mine who you don’t know who is dying
                That’s right, dying
                These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
                I’ve just been cutting onions
                I’m making a lasagna
                For one
                Oh, I’m not crying
                No
                There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
                That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
                I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
                For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland
                I’m not upset because you left me this way
                My eyes are just a little sweaty today
                They’ve been looking around
                They’re like searching for you
                They’ve been looking for you
                Even though I told them not to
                These aren’t tears of sadness
                They’re tears of joy
                I’m just laughing
                Ha ha ha-ha ha
                I’m sitting at this table called love
                Staring down at the irony of life
                How come we’ve reached this fork in the road
                And yet it cuts like a knife’
                I’m not crying
                I’m not crying
                I’m not cry-y-y-y-
                -y-y-y-y-ing

          Dorkwarble is my new favourite word.

          It describes that inarticulate noise that’s somewhere between a “squee” and a delighted gasp.

          Or possibly the cry of a particularly endearing bird.

          Yeah, I’m predicting Dorothy hugging Walky in response to the nights events and Walky not knowing what to do. I’m guessing he still employs obfuscating stupidity, so he’s going to know that it’s not romantic, and it is possible that by showing a sign of maturity here Dorothy starts liking him more; perhaps not attracted to him, but becoming closer.

          Unfortunately, if he starts acting like a grown up, everyone is going to expect him to dress like a grown up. That means wearing ties. THE TIES ARE COMING FOR YOU WALKY!

        He put the disc in fresh. Having watched one or two in my life, I can tell you that there’s plenty of intro advertisements and stuff in the first minute (usually before you even get to the dirty stuff) that would alert you that, no, this is NOT D&MM. He could switch the movie out LONG before people started getting, I dunno, hit in the face with fuzzy toys.

      I still can’t accept that that shirt Dorothy’s got on is a pajama shirt. Those sleeves are not the sleeves of a normal wide-necked shirt worn shoved off the shoulder; if it were the one sleeve would extend much lower. That shirt was designed to be worn as she’s wearing it – which isn’t normal for PJs as far as I know.

      She’s on the verge of tears and he’s looking away, so it could be any of the following:

      1) The episode where Monkey Master finds out that his cannons aren’t waterproof, and he’s killed his living ammunition.
      2) The episode where Dexter starts to forget who everyone is, and they then vanish into nothingness, only to realize it’s a dream (which was one of the worst episodes by a consensus of the fans and the creators).
      3) The episode where Dexter and Monkey Master become Dextra and Monkey Mistress.
      4) The episode where they cross over with Ultracar.
      or my final guess, 5) The episode where they focus on the side characters, and Dexter and Monkey Master only show up in the last 2 minutes.

      So what’s the logic behind it? If she was going to ask for emotional support, why wouldn’t she say that? If she was afraid she wouldn’t be let in/would be taken advantage of, wouldn’t the same happen when she does break down?

      I’ll chalk it up to confused emotional states.

B: Jules you're running out of time! 
J: It's fine! I can get the dress done in time!
B: We gotta go!
