Boy Meets Girl
Let's go swimmin'
before it gets too chilly.
Some of us have
to work for a livin'.
And normal people
get Sundays off.
Well, some of us normal people
have to work seven days
a week to save money.
And besides, you need
to start workin' a little harder
to keep me interested
in hangin' out with you.
Watchin' you troll for girls,
while barely tolerable
in high school,
has officially lost
its last little bit of luster.
Hey, hey!
I just invited
you to go swimmin'.
Yeah, euphemistic for watchin'
you text at the swimmin' hole,
as opposed to the coffee shop.
And, besides, it's pointless.
in the state of Kentucky.
And, please, yo-you spend
as much time trolling for dudes
as I do trolling for girls.
Yeah, but, unlike you,
I'm not just lookin' for sex.
I wanna find love, get married.
I haven't even
found one good guy
who doesn't wanna
just get in my pants.
Maybe I should date girls.
How bad could it be?
I'm a fan.
Check one out
and see how you like it.
At least she'd be sweet.
And considerate.
And emotional.
Not just a dog, like all y'all.
Hey, I am very fond
of every one I go out with,
regardless of how long
the relationships last.
Now, you know, sometimes
likin' someone isn't enough
Kinda quickly.
But it doesn't
make me a bad guy.
No, just a guy.
Hey, how's it goin'?
What can I get ya?
You have the prettiest hair.
straight-across bangs like that.
Yeah, and you know I've
always wanted to try wearin'
a big ole sparkly
engagement ring like that.
Yeah, well, you know the grass
is always greener, I guess.
- So...?
- Oh! Right.
May I please have a double latte
caramel frappuccino, please.
Sweetheart,
Starbucks is on Montague Street.
We sell coffee here.
Oh, right. Um,
- well, may I have...
- Um, a ca- cappa...
- Cap...?
Chino?
Yes, you may.
So,
you've never been
married or engaged, even?
Mm-mm. No.
I mean, I do, but most of 'em
and the ones I have been
always seem to get cold feet.
Oh, God, men.
The very thing they want most
is the very thing
they're most afraid of.
Ain't that the truth.
- Commitment.
- Dick.
Oh, well, I mean that, too,
but it's a distant second.
Did you say
what I think you just said?
Mmm, that commitment's
a distant second?
No. Before that.
That men want dick
but are afraid of it.
Okay.
Apparently you did.
Two-fifty, please.
Thank you.
Do you- do you have a lot of
guy friends confide this in you?
I-I mean how do you know that
they're telling you the truth
and not just messin' with you?
'Cause if I weren't,
I'd have a big ole gorgeous
ring on my finger by now.
I don't follow.
That's my mom.
We're late for church.
Oh, I understand.
It was real nice
talkin' with you.
And you.
I'm Francesca, by the way.
Ricky.
Ricky and a rich girl
sittin' in a tree,
k-i-s-s-i-n-g.
Oh, f*ck off.
Hell, why not?
She was sexy as hell.
In that kinda way.
What kinda way?
Oh, come on.
You grew up here
your whole life, too.
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
let me get this straight now.
because of the kinda family
she may or may not come from?
Does come from.
Rich, Republican, debutant.
Oh, you are unbe-
You-you-you want peop- no,
by the content of your character
and nothin' else,
Because of what, what
It's different.
She was sweet and respectful
