When’s the last time we spent quality time together? When’s the last time you ever did anything romantic for me?!!!”
Kurt: “Romantic? What are you kidding me, Karen? Tonight I have a huge title match against Cage and you hit me with this? Quality time—you have quality time every second you’re in my presence.

Kurt: “You wrote a book?”
JB: “Yeah—Gigilo JB’s 32 Steps to Bangin’ the Broads--heard of it?”
Kurt: “Well . . .”
JB: “Well, that’s not really important, Kurt—what’s important is that you learn how to treat Karen.”
Kurt: “What do you mean, JB?”
JB: “What do I mean? What do I mean? Let me show you. Kurt—you have to first take Karen’s hand (JB grabs Kurt’s hand). Then you pull her close to you (JB pulls Kurt close to him). Then you whisper sweet nothings into her ear (JB whispers into Kurt’s ear).”
Kurt: “YOU’RE GONNA DO WHAT TO ME, YOU PERVE?!”

JB ponders for a minute
JB: “I’ve got it, Kurt—Valentine’s Day is this Thursday night. Why don’t you and Karen renew your wedding vows on Impact?!”
