I just hopefully won't have to

spend the night or anything

because I'm hoping

that she'll call me back

before that happens.

What are you doing now?

Just making sure

she hasn't called me.

I'm sorry.

I'm really, I'm really

nervous right now.

I hope I'm not

freaking you out or, like...

I'm just really nervous.

Sorry.

Can I put my stuff down, like...

Yeah, yeah, wherever.

OK.

Do you want a drink

or something?

Sure.

Let me see.

I'm not sure what we have.

Looks pretty barren.

Do you want, like, a drink

or do you want a drinky drink?

Like alcohol?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, do you want a drink?

Yeah, we can drink.

Get a little loosey goosey.

Um...

All I have is this bottle of wine

that I was actually

kind of trying to save

because my dad sent it to me.

My dad's, like,

kind of a wine nut

so he'll send me these

random, like, wines.

I never really understand them

when I get them.

Like he'll talk about

how great they are,

and then I'll taste them,

and they all taste

the f***in' same to me.

But we can try it.

I don't know.

Do you know what pinot noir is?

Is that good?

I think it's supposed to be better

than, like, merlot or cabernet.

I like most of those

that I've tried,

if you want to try it.

All right.

We'll give it a whirl.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

So this is really nice of you

to let me stay

at your apartment.

I know I already said this,

but I really appreciate it a lot

just because

I don't really know

what I would be doing

right now if...

No, that's fine.

You know?

Sorry, but I don't have

any wine glasses.

Would it be weird if...

I'm not really picky.

It's fine.

You want to "cheers"?

Yeah, we probably should.

OK. To what?

I have no idea.

My old man?

Nah.

Why not?

Why don't we just cheers

to drinking this wine

that I've been saving?

OK.

Sounds good.

It smells weird.

It's pretty bitter.

And kind of sweet

at the same time.

Is that good?

It depends on what you like.

I don't really know.

Do you like bitter things

or do you like sweet drinks?

I guess I like sweet, maybe.

Do you know how to play

this keyboard?

Not really.

It looks like you were trying

to teach yourself right here.

Yeah.

I just hold the easy, like,

chord button.

How would I make a G

over here?

Right here.

This is G.

That's C Major.

What's that?

Is it D?

No.

D Minor.

Yeah.

So you hear

the difference in this?

This sounds like it's Halloween.

So D...

- A.

- A.

C.

OK.

Ooh, that was good.

That's good!

Sounds like a real song.

Ooh, you got sad there.

That was the Halloween,

wasn't it?

Yes.

You're getting good at this.

That song was genius.

I noticed you have

a little recorder over here.
