Neal squared

When Neal got sick, Julie and I finally theorized the phenomena of Friend Multiplication:

Hilary: Julie! ! Neal is feeling all better.
Julie: Wow. Was Neal sick?
Hilary: ?! He didn't tell you about the blood and mucus and--
Julie: Good god. No.
(pause)
Julie: He just said that he was "not feeling well" and needed to reschedule. that was Thursday. I didn't know he had, like, Ebola.
Hilary: With blood and--
Julie: I know. I guess the moral of the story is,
Hilary: I'll never know your friend Neal and you'll never know mine!
Julie: Yeah! Mine cuts salad veggies on a bias...
Hilary: And I get the one that is covered in snot!
