she's just playing hostess.

She's playing something

but it ain't hostess.

Well, uh...

It'd allow me to dirtbag my way

around Colorado and Wyoming.

Hey, uh, we're just talking

about Chuck's new job.

You had a chance to get up

in the mountains here, yet?

Yeah, I've already seen

some amazing places.

I'm going hiking this

Saturday at Whitetop.

Do you hike?

Would you two like to tag along?

That sounds fun.

Well, I wish I could.

I have a lot of work to do.

Oh, um, maybe some other time.

Well, I need another drink.

Can I get you something?

Um...

I'm fine.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

What are you doing, you idiot?

Why'd you tell him

that you couldn't go?

He's gorgeous and nice,

I wanna go.

Go.

I can't do that, he asked us together,

he thinks that we're a couple.

Why would he think

we're a couple?

Because we act like a couple!

Don't deny him. Go.

I can't do that,

I'll look desperate.

Just tell him that you've

changed your mind.

Then he'd still think

we're a couple

and I have a lot of work to do.

You work all the time.

And he'll figure out we're not

a couple at some other point.

Just tell him that you've changed

your mind, and we'll go.

Go where?

Go hiking with Chuck

on Saturday.

Hiking?

Please?

For once, just do it.

Okay.

I'll call him after the party.

You don't hike.

What's wrong with him?

She doesn't hike.

What's going on?

Chuck invited Jane and Ben

to go hiking this weekend.

And the queers got left out?

Bullseye, my invisible friend.

What are you doing

this Saturday?

Well, actually, we just

got back from Cabo

and normally, we would about spend

two weeks there, but Bob had to come

back early, because we had

to oversee the construction

of the lake house.

So...

Oh, that's great,

will you excuse me?

Sure.

Still trying to figure

out where I've seen you.

Everyone please hold your

cards for a possible bingo.

Who is that?

Let me introduce you

to my friends.

This is Kittner Frost.

Hey, pleasure to meet you.

I'm the vice president

at old dominion bank.

Welcome to Abingdon.

If you need anything, please,

please, let me know.

Kittner. And this

is Lyle Jennings.

Lyle is...

Busy spending his inheritance.

This is Lee Darcy.

It's nice to meet you,

what do you do?

Um, work at Eastgate.

Oh.

What do you do there?

I'm...

I'm a welder.

Oh.

It was nice meeting

you, guys. Excuse me.

Sir, would you like a drink?

No, no, thank you.

Oh? Really?

I think you must be right.

Um, excuse me.

Sure.

Hey man, I gotta go.

Okay, no problem.

No, you stay here,

I'm gonna go for a walk.

Give me a call when you're done.

You sure?

Yeah.

I'm fine, man.

I've just realized where

I've seen him before.
