But does he make you happy?

Yes.

How much of that ice cream

have you been eating?

Are you trying to make me cry?

No, just trying to give you

a little perspective.

I just don't understand him.

Maybe you don't know each other

well enough to move in together.

Right, I don't know him.

I'm glad you realize that.

If he moved in now

I would just resent him.

Absolutely, it's unhealthy.

We're not on the same page anymore,

maybe we never were.

That's it, he can't move in,

until I cheat on him.

Yeah, wait, what, NO!

And this way

I'll be able to help him stop.

Dad you're a genius.

This is so not my idea.

I'd better hurry.

Thank you Daddy.

Wait, what, no.

Wait, wait.

Are you weird?

What?

Like is there something wrong with you?

Cause I'd like to know now

before we continue.

Uh. I don't know,

sometimes I like to pretend

I'm from France.

That's actually kind of cool.

I have a strict no pets policy.

Ok?

So... This is my car.

You want me to go with you?

Unless you were waiting

for someone else.

What's the green ox?

Uh, a pub, or a bookstore.

Maybe a superhero.

I haven't decided.

Cool.

Probably a place where...

Maxine Macy will make her final stand.

Maxine, now is she

the gypsy grad student,

or the travel blog assassin?

She hasn't decided yet.

Both good choices.

By the way, how come

whenever she ends up

someplace, it's with sexy results?

Yeah, these are a little half baked,

so try not to look at them.

So uh, what do you feel up for tonight?

Seriously? You have no plans?

I know as much about you,

as I do about Bahrain.

Do I get options?

Sure, Option 1, rob a bank.

Option 2, kidnap the President.

Option 3, escape to Nova Scotia.

They all sound good.

Oo, I wonder if there

will be sexy results?

Look, this may sound

like a joke to you,

but it's what I think about.

Maybe you should just

not talk about it, ok.

Ok.

I'll think of some place to go,

we'll eat, ask the same

boring date questions

and pretend to care.

And you can go home

and write in your journal,

and tell all your friends

about how cheesy I am.

Sound good?

Wait, just wait.

This is a mistake.

Wait, just wait.

Ok I'm sorry,

I just got pushed into this.

I don't need an excuse

about why you're a jerk,

you're off the hook.

I don't want to be off the hook.

Just go around.

You don't want to do this

and neither do I.

That's not true.

You've known me for like two seconds.

Why did you even pick me up tonight.

I don't know.

I really don't.

I got to your house and

I was going to back out,

and I saw you standing there

and I thought that...

I might be missing out on

something great if I passed.

I still feel that way.
