Giving advice from one love-sick fool to another. Helga & Curly try to help each other with their obsessions in their own ways.
Challenge 8: If I Were You
Helga:
"If I were you, I would back off with your advances. She doesn't like the direct approach. Try backing off a little, give her space. Then be there for her when she is hurt or needs a friend, but don't barrage her or make her uncomfortable. She needs time to grow onto you."
Curly:
"If I were you, I would tell him straight up. Tell him your love for him. Be honest and straight with him from the start. He doesn't want lies or indecision in your voice, that will confuse him even more and he won't believe you. When he knows you're there, shower him in affection, and he'll be yours."
Helga:
"I can't be straight with him. What if he rejects me, or laughs, or doesn't believe me? I'll be exposed, and I won't be taken seriously in front of anyone again. I don't want my heart broken, or to be humiliated by everyone, especially… Ice Cream."
Curly:
"Well, whoever this 'Ice Cream' is, he should be happy to have someone like you to love him. I have always let it be known my queen Rhonda is the only one for this man. No other shall pierce my heart as strongly as my sweet darling. Do you think if I do back off a little, she'll be mine?"
Helga:
"Well, it's not working to practically assault her every time you see her and try to smooch her. You may love her as much as I love… Ice Cream, but it obviously freaks her out. Give her space and time."
Curly:
"All right, I'll give it a shot. For my babe. And you think about what I told you Helga. Good luck on your 'Ice Cream'."
Helga:
"Thanks Cur… I mean Thaddeus. I will think about it. Good luck with Princess too. She'll fall head over heels for you in no time."
Curly:
"Yes! Now, to the zoo! AH HA HA HA HA!"
Helga:
… … … "Poor twisted little freak" thought Helga, as she smiled slightly to herself.
