The woman doesn't believe he is leaving her for the reasons he says. Tori quips "I don't believe you're leaving cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream." I'm being humorous and curious: would you leave someone if they liked the same ice cream as the infamous cult leader/murderer Charles Manson? Yes

Tori adds "if you need me, me and Neil will be hangin' out with the dream king. Neil says hi by the way!" This is a reference to her longtime friend, fantasy author Neil Gaiman (Stardust, American Gods, Coraline). Have you ever read any of Neil Gaiman's works?
