an accomplice.

Guilty as charged.

You know, in some cultures

they'd spank you for that.

Oh, I love to travel.

- Chris Brander.

- I'm Mandy.

Of course you are. You know,

I know a song called "Mandy."

Oh!

He shoots, he scores.

- Nice, nice!

- Yeah, Brander! Great job, Brander!

You're the bad bunny.

No. No, that's you.

You're the bad bunny.

Yeah.

Okay, that's enough

out of you.

Next time you call me,

you call me collect.

Okay. Bye-bye.

- So how'd it go last night?

- Home by 10:
00.

Pants off in front

of the computer by 10:01.

Nice. What about Sheila?

Are you making any headway?

We'll see. I'm taking her

to lunch today...

Oh, whoa, whoa whoa.

Don't... don't do that.

- Okay? Don't do lunch.

- Why?

That's like the express lane

to the friend zone.

What the hell's

the friend zone?

See when a girl decides

that you're her friend,

you're no longer

a dating option.

You become a complete

non-sexual entity in her eyes,

like her brother.

Or a lamp.

I don't want

to be a lamp.

Yeah. Well, then don't be

her friend, okay?

Oh. Take that guy,

for example.

- You mean that couple?

- No no no.

No, I mean the guy that

wishes they were a couple.

- What is your point?

- My point is...

call Sheila, Ray.

Call her right now.

Move your day date

to tonight.

Play the entire thing aloof and no matter

what you do, kiss her at the end.

- 'Cause friends don't kiss.

- All right. "Aloof."

Hi.

- Straight to voicemail.

- Ouch.

Hope you're not too late.

You may already be girlfriends.

- Really? How will I know?

- Look. It doesn't matter, okay?

If you feel yourself

going there, walk away.

Where'd you come up

with this theory?

Some chick f'd me up

in high school bad.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse you!

I saw you flirting

with me out there.

How could you do

that to your boyfriend?

Who, him?

We're just friends.

Oh, no no no, I never said that, Lindsay. I

wouldn't do that.

No, I'm driving

through a tunnel.

Okay. One second here.

Hey, Francine, you look great.

- Thanks.

- That color really brings out your legs.

Hey, I don't even know you.

Yeah. Ho-ho-ho.

That's great.

Merry Christmas.

I can still see it.

I can still... rub harder!

Don't dab at it!

Rub it.

Rub, rub it, rub it!

Look, honestly, these pants

make me look fat?

- Well...

- You're fired!

- What?

- I'm kidding.

Ho-ho-ho! Who's got

a Christmas present?

I do.

How you doing, boss?

Merry Christmas.

- I look fat in these pants?

- Hell no.

Excellent! So you're

seeing your family

- for the holidays.

- Well, as a matter of fact...

- Wait. You want anything?

- No.

Go! Wait.

- Family.

- Parents are separated.

- Jersey's not my idea of a good time, so...
