Honking the car

Voici un de mes passages préférés du spectacle de Jerry Seinfeld:

I betcha women would like to know what men really think…
the truth, the honest truth.
You wanna know what men are really thinking?
‘Cause I could tell you.
Would you like to know?
Alright, I’ll tell you.

Nothing.

We’re not thinking anything.
We’re just walking around, looking around.
This is the only natural inclination of men.
To just kinda check stuff out.
We work because they force us to, but other than that,
this is really the only thing we wanna do.
We like women, we want women.
But that’s pretty much as far as we’ve thought.

That’s why we’re honking car horns, yelling from construction sites…
These are the best ideas we’ve had so far.
Honking the car horn amazes me! This is gotta be
just the last living brain cell in this guys skull
that comes up with this idea.
She’s on the street, he’s in the car.
Beep-beep.
“I think I made my point.”
What is she supposed to do?
Kick off the heel, start running after the car?
Grab on to the bumper?
The car comes to a stop…
“It’s a good thing you honked.”
“I had no idea how you felt.”
