Karl says that Drew is a very decent person, but Libby counters that she doesn't want decent - she wants passionate! Karl can't understand why she doesn't like Drew's levelheadedness and tells her to know when she's well off - she'd hardly want to go back to Darren or Mike and fight every five minutes.
