Ahem. So, um...

- I was chilling with Brett Anderson today.

- Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah. He's great. He's a great guy.

Really... Really nice.

He's a little full of himself...

[CAMERAS CLICKING AND PEOPLE LAUGHING]

...to be honest.

And short. Shorter than

he looks in the movies, for sure.

He stands... He's probably like 4'...

Like 4'2". Anyway, you know, he and I

are considering taking a project...

- ...into active development together.

- [SOFTLY] I don't care.

Uh, yeah. Hey, before you...

Before you flee, I have a question.

I was just wondering... Um...

Oh, God, I'm not good at this.

[CHUCKLES]

What I'm trying to say is, uh...

You know what? I would love to...

[SQUEAKS]

Oh.

I finally cracked that horror script

I was telling you about.

Remember that one: Van Winkle?

It's... It's a present-day retelling...

...of Washington Irving's classic tale

of Rip Van Winkle...

...which is public domain,

but when he wakes up in my version...

...he finds modern society

so objectionable...

...he starts killing everyone.

I find it to be sort of a post-modern...

- $15.32, please.

- You know what, Linda?

When are we gonna get together

for another double-date?

That's what I wanna know.

We can't have another double-date

because we never had one.

You just followed us to the movies

and sat behind us.

Listen, Linda, I... I realize I'm no prize.

I... I mean, look at me, but...

...I want you to know,

just maybe, one of these days...

...John and I are gonna do something special.

We're gonna make a name for ourselves.

- Will you go away now?

- Anyhow, nice...

Nice seeing you. Bye.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

No. Yo, you decide because every time

I pick it, you don't like the place I pick...

- ...and it's a whole thing, so just...

- No, no, no. Go on, really. It's fine.

- I'll settle for anything.

- For any...? Oh, okay.

Well, how about Hamburger Junction?

Oh, seriously? Hamburger Junction?

We always eat at Hamburger Junction.

I'm sick to death of Hamburger Junction.

What about Der Noodle?

No, we had German yesterday.

- Clucky's Chicken?

- No.

- Snack World.

- Oh, no.

- Pancake Brothers?

- No.

- Just Soup.

- F***, no.

Finger Food Connection...

- ...where good food is at your fingertips.

- Uh-uh.

- Pita, Paul, and Mary.

- No.

- Jim Dandy's.

- Negative.

- B.J. O'Williedoodle's.

- No. I got diarrhea last time.

- Jolly Onion.

- Nope.

Fondue Hut. Chop-Chop Chinese.

- Unidentified Flying Pizza. One of those.

- No.

ELLIOT:
Lasagna Barn. The Italian Goose.

- Fiddle Stix.

- What was the name of that place?

- The one place we went to that one time?

- The Dutch Omelet.

No, but that sounds interesting.

Where is that, Burbank or Glendale?
