- That's too bad.

- She is really a keeper.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

So, um...

You from the city?

- Yeah. Just coming back from

visiting my sister. -Mm.

- You?

- Yup. New York.

- Interview.

- Oh? Nice.

Yeah. I, uh, been thinkin'

about makin' a switch

to the non-profit

sector for a while.

- You know, actually do some good.

- Uh-huh.

- Wish I was doing that. -I

figure look for a new job now

or wait till I'm 60 and announce my

retirement in conference room "d"

having never surpassed

my greatest achievement

which is writing the jingle for the

stroller with the built-in ashtray.

- That jingle is catchy. -Oh, yeah.

It's catchy like the clap.

Wait. Oh!

Excuse me.

- No, no, no. -Could we get two

more aviations and soda...

- Please? -Hmm. Could

I just tell you

how happy I am for once to be

sitting next to the hot chick?

I never sit next to the

hot chick on the flight.

I mean, the elderly, constantly.

The extraordinarily sweaty,

the really hot guys

all the time,

but you... mm.

I win.

I won. I won.

So, forgive me,

but I need to take

this once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity and try to...

Convert this into, say, a date.

Maybe.

Outside of

the pressurized chamber

we sit in.

I'm Angela, by the way.

- Charlie.

- Hmm.

Really pleased

to meet you, Charlie.

You too.

I don't have the clap.

Now, I'm gonna

turn over the next card.

I want you to concentrate

and tell me what it is, okay?

And, remember,

there are no wrong answers here,

so, just tell me

what you think it is

as soon as I flip it over, okay?

That's a dead

puppy-doggy.

Okay. You don't have

to answer right away.

Okay? You can take time to think

and be sure about what you see.

- You understand?

- Uh-huh.

All right, now, Tammy,

you just give it...

That's a dead puppy-doggy

that got cut open by a knife.

Okay. Oh.

Like we said, there are

no wrong answers here,

so, let's just try another one.

- That's mommy and daddy.

- Okay. Good.

Mommy and daddy.

That's great, Tammy.

- Mommy's cooking for daddy.

- All right!

See? That's a really

nice thing for mom...

Mommy's putting smashed-up

glass in daddy's soup

to make him cry.

For mommy to do.

Doctor Donovan, Charles

Carroll's on line two.

Dude, I am having the best day

- and I just had to share. -Great, man.

What's goin' on?

I am the proud owner of a brand-new

date next Tuesday night.

With a woman? How'd you pull

that at 11:
30 in the morning?

- You been drinkin'? -It's never

too early for the nectar of love,

my friend.

And don't get all weird on me,

but this Angela chick,

she could be the one.

Oh, man! You don't

know this chick.

Oh, come on! I'm happy.

Leave me alone.
