Quote from Barry in Pretty in Pink
Barry: Let's jump in with both TEEF. First, tone. Observe. Pops, I have some very upsetting news. We're out of cream cheese. Pops: Oh, no. I had a hankering, but the way you said it made it all okay. I'll just use butter and jam. Barry: Now the second E... Empathy. Erica: What happened to the first E? Barry: There's an order to this. Pops, I once ran out of cream cheese, too. I empathize. Pops: Wow, I'm not so alone on this journey. Erica: Can you go faster? Barry: That brings me to the first E... Eye contact. Pops, let my eyes tell you I'm here for you during this difficult cream cheese time. Pops: Your big, wet peepers are incredibly intense and off-putting, but then it kinda settles. Barry: And next is food. I'm talking about nourishment for the body and soul. Pops: Cream cheese? You did it, Barry! You got me through this! Erica: No, he didn't! He created a cream cheese crisis so he could solve it! Pops: And yet I feel better. Erica, you should get in on this TEEF thing.
