View TranscriptLissa: Agh, everything hurts...
Lauren: That's what you get for overexerting yourself.
Lissa: *Overexerting*? You kidding me? That was the most I ever fucking benched!
Lauren: Lissa, honey, take it from me, who threw human beings that weighed upwards of 250 pounds on a professional level, going from 75 straight to 130 is fuckin' irresponsible.
Lissa: Ow.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Lauren: Heh. I went through one of these phases myself.
Then my arms gave out when I tried to bench 325.
Lauren [pointing to cheek scar]: And that's how I got this bad boy.
The side of the fuckin' handle dug into my cheek.
Lissa: Wait, really? I always thought it was a wrestling injury.
Lauren: Honey, I met Mallory after slamming a blender on my head and nearly getting a concussion. I'm a *klutz*.
Lissa: This explains *so much*!

It's got Lauren bringing up her time as a pro wrestler. It's got Lauren explaining how she got her cheek scar. It furthers the running gag that Lauren's a major klutz (which is quite frankly adorable). It's probably the second most profane strip I've done. This one's got it all.
