Have you tried breast-feeding? Nailed it! Look, they were together nine years.
Do you know why you're not over Lily yet? It's 'cause you can still picture her naked.
You can't get over a woman until you can no longer picture her boobs; it's a scientific fact.
The average male brain can only store a finite number of boob images or "b-pegs".
Well, they won't go away until you overwrite them with images of other women's boobs.

- Stripper or strip-club material shows up in the plot.
You can drag me out of here, but she has no soul! We've tried everything-- baseball, strippers.
Strip club, nice.
I'll stay here and get a lap dance.
