Friends: one episode, one scene

Jill: Would you like some gum?
Chandler: Um, is it sugarless?
Jill: Sorry, it’s not.
Chandler: Oh, then no thanks. [to himself] What the hell was that? Mental note: If Jill Goodacre offers you gum, you take it. If she offers you mangled animal carcass, you take it!

Chandler: You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection. [to himself] ‘Gum would be perfection’? ‘Gum would be perfection.’ Could have said ‘gum would be nice,’ or ‘I’ll have a stick,’ but no, no, no, no. For me, gum is perfection! I loathe myself.

IS IT SUGARLESS? GUM WOULD BE PERFECTION. Chandler=spirit animal. They stupid things you say to try and act all cool and nonchalant.

[nonnegative]

I still occasionally say “gum would be perfection” if someone offers it to me, and I’m always pleased if they laugh afterward.
