Adam's finally starting to get a little worked up too: "Okay! You like the mall!" Joan rants on, about how she also likes watching Laverne & Shirley on TV Land. Adam: "Laverne & Shirley?" Joan, really wound up now: "Yeah! Lenny and Squiggy!" She sort of does a Squiggy voice -- or maybe it's Lenny: "'Hello?' I loved it, and I was afraid to tell you that because I thought you would think I was some bubblehead and you wouldn't want to hang out with me anymore! And you know what? Maybe you don't!" She's starting to cry now. She turns away for a moment while Adam stands there, probably wondering if he'll ever not be bewildered by her. I wouldn't bet the rent, friend. She turns back to him, sobbing, "I can't stand us pretending like this." Adam doesn't know what to say, obviously; she continues, "Both of us trying to live up to some image of what we think we should be." Actually, I think you were alone on that front, Joan. She adds, "Well, if that's what we are then I don't like us!" She dissolves into tears. I hate to say it, but I think I would hardly blame Adam if he were second-guessing the whole breaking-up-with-Iris thing right now. Joan leaves, crying. Adam stands there, wondering what it will take to fix this.
