Of course, there’s nothing really funny about someone’s life spiraling out of control simply because of one day, but it is funny how much pressure we put on a single day.

VICTORIA: I was really sad about Valentine's Day. No one asked me out, so I bought a big box of chocolates and ate them all. Then I got depressed because I felt fat.
So I went to the gym, but I had no time left to do my lab project! Now I'll make a bad grade, feel stupid, and never find a job with such low self-confidence! All of which means I'll never pay off these school debts!
AMANDA: I think you need a man, or a therapist. Go for the therapist--at least they'll listen.
JIMMY: We'd listen if we got paid, too.
