hello.
i'm used to seeing you every morning -- but not exactly like this.
as a matter of fact, i would. i don't think that would be breaking any kind of office regulations.
how is it possible that we didn't start hanging out until three weeks ago?
i don't think so.
uh, ok. great.
hi.
no, she would. she just thinks it's better to keep it discreet, you know?
wait - what?
no - wait - it's valentine's day? but it's monday. i thought it was always on a thursday.
shit. i didn't even say happy valentine's day.
no. but we've only been together a couple of weeks. maybe she doesn't expect anything.
hey.
didn't i see that shirt yesterday?
look, i didn't know that today was valentine's day. i thought it was the second thursday --
i swear. i know it sounds stupid - but i always do stupid stuff. ask my mom -
here. you wanna call her? maybe she'll tell you about the time i got trapped in a volleyball net --
happy valentine's day.
so, can i take you out tonight?
i will hook up something great -
cool.
these are actually decoys. i just wanted to have a reason to come talk to you.
so you can take us? thank god - that's great.
at four? as in four in the afternoon? even my nana doesn't eat dinner at 4. so, it's 4 or 11:20? i think i might keep looking.
what? not every table at every restaurant can be booked? what about the shitty restaurants? nobody's gonna book those.
it's fine. and i just nabbed tickets for the outdoor movie at hollywood forever cemetery.
i thought of that. i'm gonna go get her a grande white mocha this afternoon. she loves those.
what? i'm supposed to get her a prius? we haven't even been together three weeks.
i don't really know.
i'm not really sure.
i have no idea what i'm doing. i've been going out with this girl for like two and a half weeks. but then today i was getting a little bit of a brush-offy vibe.
and i say going out, but if you want to get really technical about it, we've never actually said we were going out - so it may still just be in the hanging out category. we've slept together once- and i realize i'm oversharing - but i guess that might not really mean anything. and then we work together, so that's another wrinkle.
okay.
so, you want me to buy two gifts?
that is a fantastic idea.
sorry we had to wait so long. that was ridiculous.
i thought if we got here at 6 it would be pretty empty.
i don't know, eternal love sounds kinda nice.
maybe you have like a one course `just dating' menu?
i think we need some more time.
sorry. my bad. they really pack us in there, huh?
i heard the steaks are great here.
are you sure?
i didn't realize you had other plans -
no. it's cool. i actually have some other plans, too.
but i did get you something. and i'd really like for you to have it.
it's for business cards. for when you get promoted. i thought it was the perfect gift - you know - co- worker to co-worker.
it's ok. he's with me.
no problem. i had an extra.
not a good one.
i don't know. neither.
this girl i was dating ditched out on me. like the worst valentine's day story ever.
she said she had to go back to work. but that's probably bullshit - i mean, it's probably not the truth -
so she's probably just blowing me off.
you're kidding. she was hot.
wow. you sure you wanna let that go?
that's a nice story.
what?
but she did.
oh. hey.
look, you don't get ahead in this town without taking a little initiative.
white mocha, right?
i'm sorry about tonight.
i just - i like you. and i didn't know what to do about today - what was too much and what was too little.
so, you have to be here for a while?
yeah.
