    Is that really the best line? She has to leave to take advantage of it.

    Maybe, “hey, how’d your husband’s parole hearing go?”?

      How many times have you thought of the perfect response to someone hours after the fact?

      It’s good that she stepped in to offer help at all.

        It’s good she said something, I agree. She could also have said something better, and mine came after about 7 seconds, not hours.

      It makes it clear what the random girl is trying to do, and allows the girlfriend to reply with anything from “not yet, let’s take a break over there” to “yeah I’m ready let’s go”.
