I am trying my hand at a quick exercise in new-talk - the way I hear the quality of speech overheard from someone on a cell phone in the line at Disneyland or something - like, you know.

Oh my gawd, it was, like, well, you know.  SO I said to him is that, like, the way you are going to leave this?  And he goes you got it, and he goes, like, over.  So he goes to get his jacket and I go you can't do this - like I mean, you know, how can he just break up over something so little?  We - yeah, I know - we have been together for over three months.  So I go have you got another girlfriend?  And he goes and looks at me, you know. And I go what happened?  Yeah, I know.  Well he goes that he was dating this girl in Sweden, a long time ago, you know, and it turns out she has moved back here.  Yes.  He goes well he wants to try again.  And I go, well where does that leave ME?  And he goes and tries to kiss me.  And I go no, you know, no!  So he goes and walks out the door.  Yeah, just like that.  We can talk later.  Bye.
