Ted:
Look, all I'm saying is that Boston women are, on the whole, a paler, uglier sort than women from the elsewheres of life.
John:
That's bullshit. What about Lori? She's hot.
Ted:
No, Lori's from Pennsylvania. That's not a Boston girl.
John:
They're not that bad.
Ted:
See, the fact that you have to say "they're not that bad" means that they are that bad.
Guy watching the movie: So that’s where Ted’s Law comes from!

Christian author who likes ripping characters hearts out. You might not survive his books, but but it will be exciting to see you go.
I like this character, too bad Ted Dekker is going to kill him in the second half, even if he is the main character.

When two handsome, polite guys go out for a nice time, and rather than objectify women and demonstrate toxic masculinity to the entire bar, they make friends and get free drinks.

When two guys go out for a fun night, don’t objectify women, meet a lot of people, and in the process of not being assholes, they get drinks bought for them.
