[Karen, Jack, Will, and Grace laugh] I know, that was just for us. Anyway, so I go to his room, we start talking, have a couple of minibars, and, uh, next thing i knew, he's touching me. I couldn't stop him, i didn't want to, after years of being with Stan I felt like, finally! A man who knows how to make a woman feel like a girl, and how to make that girl feel like a slut, and how to make that slut feel like a woman!
