It's a... funny coincidence.

[laughs]

Um...

thanks.

Hey, you wouldn't wanna do

something sometime, would you?

Um... together?

Yes, us together.

Hanging out.

Um... I'm really busy

during the day.

But... I could be free at night.

I could be free at night.

Well, you should

put your number in here then.

[laughs]

I'm old school too.

Smooth.

Thank you.

[laughs]

That is so romantic

it disgusts me.

What did he say about your XP?

It didn't come up.

What do you mean,

it didn't come up?

I-I didn't bring it up.

I'm not gonna just

randomly be like,

"Hey, dude, by the way,

the sunlight's gonna..."

[blows raspberry]

Like, look when you

tell someone you're sick,

then you start to become more like

a disease and less like a person.

It's... I'm gonna tell him,

I promise,

but I don't know

when I'm gonna see him again.

I do.

You know that annoying guy who works

with me at the ice cream shop?

- The nerdy one you hate?

- Yes, Garver.

His parents are out of town tonight

and he's throwing a party.

And he told me to bring friends.

- So, I'm gonna bring you...

- No, no, no, no, no...

- And you're gonna bring Charlie.

- No.

He's gotta, like, you know...

Doesn't... I have to wait

till he texts me first, right?

Yeah, totally.

And then, you know, his squire will

send a note via carrier pigeon

asking if you'd like

to merge your kingdoms.

What is this,

18th-century England?

You're a hot,

young, badass woman.

You're gonna text him

whenever you damn well please.

Be confident, okay?

- Give him the facts.

- Okay.

[phone beeps]

- Play a little hard to get.

- All right.

[phone beeps]

Make sure that he knows he's not

the only reason you're going.

Okay.

- [moans]

- All right.

Oh, no.

[beeps]

[laughs]

[beeps]

This is gonna be a tame,

safe, parent-friendly party.

Ah-ha!

It's a totally lame party.

You know what we should do?

We should stay here.

We'll get Hunan Chinese.

You guys love Hunan, right?

Put some Netflix on.

It'll be perfect.

Dad, you know

I'm a good kid.

You know I'm not gonna

do anything crazy.

But I swear,

if I spend one more night here,

just listening to everyone else

outside my window

living their lives,

I might go crazy.

Tomorrow night, we can order way too much

chow mein, and have a movie marathon.

- All right.

- Yes, thank you!

You're the best dad

in the world.

[Morgan] Thanks, Mr. P!

Okay, um, Charlie's gonna

meet us at Garver's at 8:00.

We have to get ready!

Dude, what are you

talking about?

We have, like, three hours.

We're already behind.

Done.

Mr. P! May I present

Katherine Price of Washington.

Wow.

Peanut... you look amazing.
