Alone with Her Page #2

our favorite band at Red Bar.

- What?

- Yeah, Skinny.

I just happen to have

an extra ticket to their show,

so, uh... you wanna come?

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

Yes, I was gonna go with my friend,

but he's sick,

and I know what a big fan you are,

so I thought you might like to go...

with me.

Oh, my God, Doug,

that's so sweet of you.

The show starts at ten,

so maybe we can grab some dinner first

or some drinks, or...

What?

I'm sorry, Doug, I can't go.

I made plans and there's

just no way I can break them.

Not even for Skinny?

It sucks, I know.

Well, they're only playing in town

for one night, so it-

It's a family thing.

They don't live here, and if I cancel,

they'd just kill me, you know?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

- Any other night would be great.

- Yeah. Another night.

I know it's short notice,

I just thought, uh...

Well, I know someone else who would-

who would love to go, so...

don't worry about it.

- Really?

- Yeah. It's...

- You mean it?

- Yes. It's no big deal.

Don't- look, I- I better get goin'.

I have a meeting across town.

Okay. I'm sorry. I won't keep you.

No, no. It's okay.

Okay.

- Have a great weekend.

- Yeah, you too.

Bye.

Augghh! F***!

F***! F***!

- Hello?

- Hi, Matt.

- Yeah?

- It's Amy.

Hey! You ready to rock?

Oh, God-

Jesus Christ.

I had to do it, Amy.

I'll make it better, I promise.

That's-

That's very nice of you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

No, no, I- I-

I can't ask you to do that.

No. Thank you. But-

Hey, stranger.

Hi, Amy. How are you?

Great. You?

- Well, I'm a bit nervous, actually.

- Why?

I called a cab twenty minutes ago,

but, uh...

What happened to your car?

I- I don't know.

Oh- be careful.

I don't know. I think the starter's broken.

I have a meeting in ten minutes

I can't miss, so I'm sorta...

Oh, geez.

Yeah.

You want a ride?

Oh- no. No.

I- I can't ask you to do that.

Well, you didn't ask. I offered.

Huh. Hmm.

- Where ya goin'?

- UCLA.

Well, that's right on my way.

Perfect. Seriously.

- Come on.

- Yeah?

- You're gonna be late.

- Okay, okay.

What are you studying?

Oh, no, I'm not a student.

I'm a sales rep for

a small publishing house.

I go to colleges and push our textbooks.

- Cool.

- Well, I don't know about "cool. "

It pays the bills

and the hours are good,

so it lets me do what I love

on the side.

- What's that?

- Photography.

Oh, cool. I mean it this time.

What kind of photography?

Mostly black and white landscapes.

Really. Would I have seen

any of your work?

No, no, I-

F***.

I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- You sure you still want a ride?

Yeah- yes, of course.

I think you're a great driver.
