Flip the switch.

Doing this for you.

Well, good luck.

Be safe.

Call me.

Mm...

Drama, drama, drama.

...you

Wanna get to know you...

No, no, no. This one.

And you get to wear

the goofy-looking helmet.

This won't look goofy on me.

It looks goofy

on just about everybody.

Look at you.

That's pretty damn cute.

There you go.

You ready to go

for a ride, Andie?

Are you ready to go

for a ride, Ben?

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Get it? Get it?

Yeah.

Mmm. So, what do you think?

About the food, or... you?

Both.

This is delicious...

Mm-hmm.

...and I'm still deciding.

Anything I can do to help?

Yeah, you could answer some

questions for me, actually.

"Some" sounds

a little too indefinite.

I'll give you three.

What do you do for a living?

I'm in advertising.

I work mostly

with alcoholic beverage

and athletic equipment

companies,

and I'm trying to break into

the jewelry market right now.

Hmm...

Saving the world,

one keg party at a time?

Yeah, something like that.

What about you?

What about me?

Have I seen your work?

I work at Composure.

Fastest-growing women's

fashion magazine in the country.

I'm impressed.

Saving the world,

one shop-a-holic at a time, eh?

Hey, all right.

Look here, Sparky,

I have a Master's

in journalism

from Columbia.

My boss loves me, and if I do it

her way for a while,

I can write about

anything I want.

Like shoes?

No.

No.

Like alcoholic beverages

and athletic gear.

Touch. Very nice.

So, you think you got me

all figured out, eh?

Almost.

Still got one last question.

Shoot.

True or false:

All's fair in love and war.

True.

Great answer.

Good question.

Welcome.

Oh, nice place.

Thank you.

Very... tidy.

Can I get you

a cold beer?

Sure.

Can I use your restroom?

Yeah, you can.

It's up the stairs,

through the bedroom.

You are, aren't you?

The first night.

I can't believe you!

Michelle, I'm not going

to sleep with him.

Oh, you are such a hussy.

You can't hide

those lying eyes.

No, no, because I can practice

some self-control,

unlike some people I know.

Oh, really?

That hurts, kind of.

Get up up on the dance floor

Give that man

what he askin' for

'Cuz I feel like...

I'm going to dangle the bait...

Wait, what's the bait?

I'm the bait, Michelle.

- Oh...

- Yeah.

Okay, I'm with you. Then what?

It's gettin' hot in here

So hot

So take off all your clothes

- Mmm... Diamond...

- I am getting so hot

- is no one-night stand.

- I want to take my clothes off

It's gettin' hot in here

So hot

So take off all...

A diamond

is a long-term commitment.

Take notes.

You better be prepared...

I can't talk right now.

I have to go.

Call me later, you slut.
