"[singing along] ♪ You must be an angel, I can see it in your eyes, Full of wonder and surprise... [chuckles] Oh, you found Ralph Macchio." Max sings along with the song.

"Macchio?" El asked.

"Yeah, he's the Karate Kid. Hai-yah! [laughs] He's so hot, right? I bet he's an amazing kisser, too. Hey, uh... are Mike and Lucas good kissers?" Max asked.

"I don't know. He's my first boyfriend." El answers.

"Well compare him to nothing I wouldn't know." I state confused.

"Ex-boyfriends. Hey, don't worry about it. Okay? They'll come crawling back to you in no time, begging for forgiveness. I guarantee you, him and Lucas are, like, totally wallowing in self-pity and misery right now. They're like, "Oh, I hope they take us back."!" Max states. We were all laughing. "God, what I wouldn't give to see their stupid faces. What is it?"  They set up the radio and El blindfolds herself I copy them. The radio static crackling started.

"Is this really gonna work? Holy shit, this is insane." Max speaks up.

"Max." I pipe up.

"Yeah, quiet. I'm sorry." Max answers. There was distorted voices. Mike is lying on a couch, Lucas is pacing and Will is setting something up on a table.

"What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong? What did we do wrong?" Mike asks.

"Nothing." Lucas answers. The static stops.

"What did I do wrong? What could have we done wrong?" Mike asked. 

"Do I have to go through this again?" Lucas asks.

"I see them." El points out.

"What are they doing?" Max asks.

"Eating." El answers. Crunching echoes through annoying me.

"I just don't understand what we did to deserve this." Mike says to Lucas.

"Nothing. Nothing. That's my whole point. We are the victim here." Lucas answers.

"I know. It's just, why is she treating me this way?" Mike asks.

"Mike I'm in the same boat as you idiot." Lucas answered.

"I don't know." Will piped up.

"Mike-" Lucas tried again.

"What did we do wrong? What did I do wrong?!" Mike asked.

"Mike, stop. Relax. Just relax. Okay? Stop asking rational questions." Lucas answered.

"I know, I know, you're right." Mike carries on.

"Yeah." Lucas chuckles slightly.

"Because women act on emotion and not logic." Mike states and my emotions change quickly.

"Precisely. It's a totally different species." Lucas pipes up which annoyed me.

"They say we are "species."!" I stated angrily. 

"What?" Max asks.

""Emotion, not logic."!" I continue. 

"What?" Max asks.

"Guys, it's ready." Will mentions to whatever he was doing.

"Will, not right now." Lucas mentions.

"They broke up with you. What else is there to talk about?" Will asks.

"Tons." Lucas answers. 

"Yeah, we're trying to solve the great mystery of the female species." Mike states.  " [chuckles] Dude, you can smell the nacho cheese." Will groans, disgusted by his misogynistic, gross friends.
