Panel 1
Lester looks down at his hands.
Lester: It doesn't make sense. Denise and I get along great but I have this overwhelming urge to escape. I think I gotta break up with her.

Panel 2
Lester and Marla sit on a couch, looking distressed.
Marla: What? No! Don't sabotage yourself, Lester, you're just having a little mental crisis.

Panel 3
Marla smiles.
Marla: Think about it. What's the rational thing for a guy like you to do here?

Panel 4
Lester, wide eyed and unhinged, points a finger gun in Marla's direction.
Lester: I should buy a gun!

Panel 5
Marla desperately grabs Lester's arm as he tries to run off.
Marla: No, no, no, wait! Therapy, man! I meant you should try therapy!

Panel 6
Lester, returning to some semblance of sanity, looks in Marla's direction.
Lester: Oh. Right.

Panel 7
Lester scratches his face, looking up.
Lester: I guess I could give that a shot first.
