Perhaps trying to convince herself as much as anyone else, Audrina Patridge still feels the need to defend loser boyfriend Justin-Bobby to her friends.

In this sneak preview of tonight's Hills episode (watch below), Patridge is seen talking to oddly-named coworker Chiara (at the Epic Records offices) about the events that went down when Justin-Bobby showed up to a recent work function.

"Think of how many times you've wanted to end it with him," Chiara says, looking a tad annoyed to even be talking about this, scripted as it is. "There's a reason for that every time. He can't keep coming and sweeping you off your feet."

"He wouldn't say those things if he didn't really care," Audrina Patridge replies. "There's something that Justin and I have that no one else I've met [has]."

Gag. Much more to come on The Hills tonight! Follow the jump for the clip ...
