Jess: All I'm saying is that, somehow, Ian is even more mature than you are. And that's why I think he'll understand when I tell him in a mature adult way, I live with my ex, but there's nothing to worry about.
Nick: Can I suggest a tweak?
Jess: Fine.
Nick: "I live with my ex, but there's nothing to worry about because he's gay now."
Jess: No.
Nick: "Because he has weeks to live."
Jess: No.
Nick: "Because he's already dead."
Jess: What?
Nick: Then I'll act like a ghost.
