All The News That's Fit To Fuck Me. Elise Rothman, Girl Editor exhorts Phoebe to take some time off and visit Chronic in Hong Kong. Phoebe complains that it's "just another airport" in "just another city," and if anyone knows from cheap airport hotel rooms in anonymous cities, it's the Feebs. "You can always send in your column," Elise prompts. "Email, fax machine -- it's the twenty-first century, and I'd like to welcome you to it!" Phoebe allows herself a small smile and drops her head. Elise urges Phoebe to take as much time as she needs -- to go ahead and live with Chronic in Hong Kong and discover if they're meant to be. Phoebe rolls her eyes, and much as it pains me to say this, word, Phoebe. I hate relationship chatter. "Look," Elise continues in a no-bullshit tone of voice, "it's time I gave you some advice for once: Don't let it be work." Off Phoebe's quizzical expression, Elise explains, "There's a whole generation of women out there who followed the dream [and] built successful careers, but at the expense of everything else." Phoebe frowns. "Now, I'm not saying they all made mistakes," Elise hastens to add, "because some of them are very happy. But some of us aren't. Trust me, you don't want to wake up one day and realize that all you've got is your career." Phoebe nose ring looks pensive. I'd look enraged, but I'm convinced Elise is simply using this little speech to exploit Phoebe's transparent neediness, thereby convincing the irritating twit to move three thousand miles away so Elise won't have to share the office with an aggravating bitch anymore. Thus, I am letting it slide.
