I can see it all now, this is gonna be just like last summer. You fell in love with that girl at the Fotomat, you bought forty dollars worth of fuckin' film, and you never even talked to her. You don't even own a camera.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker predicts a repeat of last summer's infatuation: someone bought forty dollars of film from a shop employing their crush, despite having no camera, and never spoke to her. The exasperated account contrasts the expense of finding excuses to visit with the failure to make contact.
