Lisa:..was murdered...last night. Dave:What?No!No...Matthew? Lisa:Yes! Dave:Matthew,the crazy little guy with th- Lisa:Yes! Pause. Dave:Oh come on.This is just a really sick April Fool's Day prank isn't it? Lisa:I wish it was.Frankly,I don't think you're ever gonna find someone as demented as he was to fill the void. Dave:Wow.Matthew's dead.Did they catch the killer? Lisa:No,Dave,I don't think they did.Sad really.He owed me ten bucks.
