Screen and music fade in. We see Smo and Gro behind a news reporter type booth.
Gro: Welcome to NGFL: Case Studies. This is Gro and to my left is none other than my main
man Smo.
Smo: (Lights a pipe and puffs on it. Speaking in a British accent) Good evening folks.
Gro: Today, we have the case of the long distance blues.
Smo: Hmm, this could turn out to be some story.
Gro: Our subject today has fallen for this lady many many miles from his home.
Smo: Ahh, internet relationship I suppose?
Gro: This internet friendship started with a few friendly, harmless conversations and
bloomed into a full fledged deep friendship.
Smo: Logical reasoning has prevailed once again.
Gro: The longer they talked the more our man fell for this girl. I mean he was really becoming
fond of her.
Smo: I think I saw this on Oprah once, but not for the same purpose we are covering
it on this show.
Gro: It seems her feelings were mutual towards him.
Smo: Typed words across a pixelated screen are deceiving, my dear Gro.
Gro: She'd tell him about her problems and how her boyfriend was such a jerk sometimes.
Smo: This is the point in the story where we can all assume what is going to happen next.
Gro: Oh here's the kicker...
Smo: Right in the bloody noggin, I suppose.
Gro: She even once told our guy that she wished they lived closer and that she'd be totally
in love with him if they did.
Smo: Hmm. You know I believe it is time that I make a point about this whole story, before
we go any further, Gro. Now, let's look at this situation as if there is no internet
relationship going on. I mean, the point being of this whole study, is that while the young lady,
in the situation, is in love with a jerk, there are plenty of non-jerks around for her to
be happy with, even if she did live out the middle of nowhere, like Wyoming for instance.
Actually that is the main point of this whole study, don't you see? The young gentlemen
living far away from this young lady has no relevance to the story. Do you understand? You
may continue, Sir Gro.
Gro: I mean ouch....one girl a guy would dream about hooking up with and that's all he can
do is dream because she's with some jerk, and our man is hundreds of miles away with nothing
he can do about it.
Pops Smo in the back of the head.
Gro: Could you put that pipe out it's choking me and what's with the ridiculous accent
huh...sheesh...
Smo: (Continuing with the accent and puffing on the pipe) Do you not have any tastes, sir?
Britain is known for it's fine things, and I happen to be demonstrating their intellect and high
cultural tastes.
Gro: Anyway talk about making a man wanna just throw in the towel. Our boy, whether he's
relevant or not, couldn't talk any sense into this girl.
Smo: Now you are seeing it my way, sir.
Gro: Despite our guy's pleas for this girl to leave this guy, she says is a jerk half the time,
she claims she's in love with him.
Smo: Love can sometimes be an illusion.
Gro: (With British accent) A really bloody goofy one too.
Gro catches himself.
Gro: Would you stop that, you got me doin' it now...shhesh.
Smo: (Still talking in British accent) Stop what? (Puzzled look)
Gro: Anyhow, wanna know how the story ends........it doesn't haha!
Smo: That's right. This story is still continuing as we speak.
Gro: Yes it continues as we speak so we'll fill you in later on.
Smo/Gro in unison: That's it for this NGFL: Case Study. Good night!
Screen fades to black as Gro lights up a pipe and pours him and Smo a drink.
