Hang up the phone.

No, actually, you can't,|because I don't have a dog.

So maybe you could|walk me.

All right, you know,|I'm-I'm gonna go now.

Call me at 555-0118|and ask for Dr. Fields.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Oh man, that was...|that was horrible.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath|for a callback on that.

Yeah, she'll call me back|if she wants to walk an idiot.

Yeah, I'm not going|to disagree with you.

So takeout|or raid your fridge?

Here we go.

Take it easy, Lilly.

Easy.

Hi.

You never called me back so I figured|I would bring the coffee to you.

Thanks.

Um, look, I think you're|a really nice guy and everything,

but I don't know why|you called me.
