Quote from Haley in A Stereotypical Day
Haley: How do nerds even get mono? Did you all practice by kissing the same pillow? Alex: Shouldn't you be at work by now? [aside to camera:] Haley: I got fired. My plan was to hide it from my parents until I got a new job, but with smarty-pants Alex home, I had to be more careful, or she was going to figure it out. Her being super-sick is coming at a really bad time for me.
