"Are you really?" "Yeah, well, wear the ring, then, 'cause you're wasting everyone's time at the moment, love." "Stop." "Who exactly is calling me the creepy crawler?" "Oh, a lot of girls in the class." "Maybe even all of them." "Well, I'm not gonna apologize for trying to meet someone." "Stuart, you keep hitting on beautiful models and actresses." "I'm sorry, but we're not gonna date you." "Hey, Stuart." "Top of the morning to ya." "Heh, well, I appreciate the effort, um, Annie, but that's actually..." "that's more of an Irish saying and I'm actually English." "Yeah, okay." "Walk up again." "Um, can I get a strawberry smoothie, please?" "Cheerio, Stuart." "Well, closer, but you'd actually say cheerio when you were leaving." "How long for that smoothie 'cause I kind of have a lot to do today." "She has nothing to do today." " Carrot juice for you." " Please." "She's flirting outrageously with you." "You should ask her out." "No, I come here all the time." "I'm not shitting on my own doorstep." "I think you're scared because this one might actually say yes." "I'm not scared." " Is she flirting?" " Yes, ask her out." "A smoothie, a carrot juice." "Oh, Annie, sorry." "Could I... ask you a question, a quick question?" "Uh-huh." "Which is, um..." "Stupid, stupid, that was silly." "That was... firstly, how much are they?" "And would you like to go out sometime with me?" "Yeah." "Yeah, that would be fun." " Yeah?" "Oh, cool." " Yeah, that would be fun." "Great, all right, excellent."

"Whoa, I lost mine when I was 17." " It's not a competition." " Sorry." "So, you gonna..." "when are you gonna call her?" "Rule one... you've gotta seem like you're too busy to call." " Text only." " What do you text?" "Well, here's what I'm gonna send." ""Annie, when you're done squeezing oranges..."" "knowledge of job..." ""could you squeeze me in..." wordplay..." ""for dinner at Vouloir..." restaurant she mentioned..." ""toodle-oo..." a little cheeky reference to my Britishness." " ( laughs )" " All right?" " Send that and that's job done." " That's job done." "Now, she probably won't reply for a couple of hours, but you can't sweat it." "That's just the rules of the game." " Might as well relax." " You've just gotta relax 'cause...

"What are you talking about?" "I slipped in the shower." " Look at this." " Wow, that sounds bad." "Well, this idiot fell inside a refrigerator." "That could've been a lot worse, all right?" "I could've... there was glass." "I could've had to pay for something." "You all right?" "You know, it freaked me out a little bit." "I was laying there." "Could've been unconscious." "I mean, when I was living with Marion, she would've found me eventually." "If you hadn't heard from me, how long until you would have came looking for me?" "I don't know." "It depends if we'd made plans or something." " A couple of hours, six hours." " I would've been dead." "Well, you wouldn't be dead, would you?" "We need to implement a system." "From now on, I am texting you AG every three hours." "Right, and what does AG mean?" " All good." " All good." "Then you text me AG back so I know you're AG." "Hey, can I get in on this?" " Absolutely." " Appreciate it." "Jessica, you should get in on this." " Uh, I'm AG." " Really?" "Single woman living alone, mid-30s." "Mid-30s?" "No, I'm mid-20s." "Yeah, he bumped his head."

"I'll give you a minute to acquaint yourselves with the menus and the wine list." "Let me know if you have any questions." "Great." " This menu looks fantastic." " Yeah, definitely." "Some wine this evening?" " Oh." " Hmm, do you want wine, or..." "This Chilean Sancerre is supposed to be fantastic." "Really?" " It's 70 bucks." " It's how much, sorry?" " It's $70." " $70?" "Can I suggest the New Zealand Sancerre?" "It's only $10 more, but it's twice as good." "Oh, great." "Let's do that." " ( chuckles )" " Yep, thank you for that suggestion." "What are you thinking about for entrees?" "I do not know at the... sorry, can you excuse me for a second?" "I just need to pop to the, um..." " Go ahead." " Yeah, all right, okay." " Excuse me, excuse me?" " Yes?" "That wine that you just recommended is way too expensive, so I'm gonna need you to come out to the table in a few minutes and just say, "Oh, sorry, that wine's no longer available."" " Does that make sense?" " Okay." " Okay, great." "Thank you very much indeed." " Mm-hmm." "I'm thinking about steak." "That's, I'm sure, the only way to go." "I'm so sorry, but we are out of the New Zealand Sancerre." "Oh, come on." "You just recommended it." "What are you doing?" "If you don't have it, don't recommend it 'cause we were all excited about it." "I'm so sorry, sir." "I can bring the $70 bottle that the lady chose originally." "Perfect." " Have you got that one?" " Yes, we do." " We have that one." "I'll bring it." " All right, good." " Yep." " Okay." "Wait, so where in England are you from?" "Do you know what I forgot to do?" " I forgot to tip the bathroom attendant." " Oh." " So, will you excuse me for one second?" " Yeah, okay." "Excuse me." "Um, that wine is also too expensive." "How much are you looking to spend, sir?" "I don't know." "Somewhere between, say, you know," "$18 and $15... $14." "Right." "Excuse me again." "I'm afraid we don't have any Sancerre left." " I'm so sorry." " Are you kidding me?" "Young man, I am this close to walking out." "Honestly, because we'd heard nothing but great things about this place." " It's..." " No, I'm sorry, but it's like... we're gonna spend a lot of money here." "I just tipped the bathroom attendant 20 bucks." "We don't have a bathroom attendant." "Well, there was someone in there taking money, so you just wanna... you might want to investigate that." "Do you know what?" "Why don't we just get a bottle of the house white, which I'm assuming you've got some of, and we'll just make do with that." "You know, we should just order, and let's see if they have food." " Good luck with that." "We shall see." " ( laughs )" "Um, I'll have the Caesar salad as an entree." "And you'll have..." "Well, it says that that the Kobe steak has seasonal truffles when available." "But are they in season right now?" "They are..." "for an additional $40." "Goody." "You've got them?" "You've definitely got that, the truffles?" "We absolutely have them." "All right, I'm gonna ask you that question again and I want you to think really hard." "Do you have those seasonal truffles?" "Yes." "Then rush 'em out because this lady's getting hungry." " All right?" " Sure." " So, where are you from?" " I'm gonna be right back." "Okay." "( people chatting )" "Jessica!" "Hey." " Hello." " Hi." "Hi, oh." " Hello." " Hi." " How are you?" " I'm really good, thank you." "I haven't seen you in class for a while."

"That's so great." " Yeah, it is." "And have you gotten any paid work?" "You know, can I be honest?" "That the satisfaction I get from writing is payment enough." "Hmm, 'cause I got worried for a sec." "I hadn't seen you in anything for so long and I was like... ( gasps ) "Oh, no, did she quit?"" "I just decided that I wasn't gonna audition for anything unless a really wonderful script came through the door." "Yeah, well, you could show a lot of the young actors that you don't need to whore yourself out for money" "if you're, you know, happy to live in an outhouse." "It's a guesthouse." " Oh, no, what did I say?" " You said outhouse." "No." "( laughs )" " That's wrong." " You're right, it's very wrong." "Because you don't even have a toilet." " No, I have a toilet." " Oh, it does." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " Oh, well, that's great." "Yeah, it's like..." "it's a regular toilet." "Yes, we have mini golf in England, but why would I play a game called mini golf?" " I'm a giant." " ( laughs )" "It wouldn't make sense, would it?" "Um, this was really nice." "Yes, I... yeah, it was good." "We should do it again sometime." "I agree." "Should I kick your ass at mini golf next weekend maybe?" "That's fighting talk, but I accept the challenge." "All right, good night." "Sleep well." " Cheerio." " Cheerio." "Correct use."

"Hope you're practicing for mini golf."" "Oh, yes!" "Well, what are you gonna text back?" ""Already practicing my strokes"... sexualizing." ""Where and when?" Logistics." "That's... that's why you're the master." "And the master is saving that in drafts." "You wondering why?" "I was gonna ask you, but I didn't know if it was appropriate for me to ask you." "The reason I'm saving it in drafts is I'm not sending that until lunchtime." "Oh, that's how they do it." "You gotta make 'em sweat." " Make her think." " Make her think, "Is it..."" " "Is it on?" - "Is he... is it on?"" " "Is he interested?" - "Is... interested."" " You know what I mean?" " ..." "I mean?" "Uh, yeah, yeah." "Send her in." " Hey, babe."

"I want a movie, okay?" "I'm not a fucking whore." "If it goes national, it could be 50 grand." "I'll read the script and see if I can find an angle." " What time do you make it?" " It's 5:45." " And what time did I text Annie?" " 1:00." "Well, why hasn't she written back?" "You know, I'm glad it's bothering you, too, 'cause I feel like I'm, like, pulling my hair out over here." " Yeah."
