JAMES: Um. We”re talking about intercourse? Well, okay, um… There were a few times that I could”ve done that. But none of those times were quite right. (defensive) There were circumstances. For instance, okay, junior year I dated this girl, Sue Hornick. Sue was kind of prude. One day, I was reading some Shakespeare and realized – I don”t really love this person… It was one of the sonnets. Y”know, about authentic love. I thought this isn”t it, I have to breakup. I went straight to Sue”s house and was literally about to tell her – and that”s the night she said she finally wanted to have sex. Can you believe it? That was the night!More Monologues from “Adventureland”RelatedShareTweetPin
