I sent her the top
20 dating ice-breakers.
Top 20?
I thought it was
supposed to be top ten.
I know, right?
If there's that
much ice to break,
maybe you shouldn't
be on a date.
(laughing)
Hey, come here.
The Cyan
[Both] Wintersports 820.
Are you getting
that for your trip?
I wish.
an assistant's budget,
but a girl can dream.
Well, you could get the 620.
All the bells and whistles
for half the price.
Hmm, that's not a bad idea.
Maybe we hit up the
store before the party?
If we ever get out of here.
I really wish you were coming
snowboarding this weekend.
Yeah, I've learned my lesson
Every time I book something,
Diane sends me
another assignment.
Don't I know it.
Do you think she's read it yet?
Probably.
There's only one
way to find out.
(light orchestral music)
Diane, if now's not
a good time, I--
Now is always a good time
for my favorite writer.
What do we have?
Oh, "Top Twenty
Dating Ice-Breakers."
Love the headline.
Yeah, thank you
For that.
You shouldn't feel undermined
because I write the
headlines in advance, Cara.
It gives the magazine--
A consistent voice?
See?
You were listening.
I like it.
Oh, but you don't love it?
I want to, but it
needs a bit more pizazz.
You know, maybe a cautionary
tale of a date gone wrong.
Don't underestimate the
value of your own personal--
Dating horror stories?
Perspective.
(laughing)
(light orchestral music)
You're out there in
the singles world.
I mean, let's see that.
Actually, I started
seeing someone
recently.
Very recently.
Perfect, so I'm sure
you have some material.
Oh, I would but, the thing
and I was thinking,
with the New Year's
maybe I could try to
keep my personal life
a little bit more--
Personal?
Um, as I recall, you asked
to be on the relationship desk.
But, I mean, if it's too much,
we can always put you
back on the beauty desk.
No, uh, no.
I will make it better.
Cara, make it
better next year.
It's New Year's.
You guys should
be out having fun.
[Both] Really?
Yeah, really.
Don't come home till
the sun comes up.
And then, you know, start
thinking about that re-write.
Happy new year.
(upbeat orchestral music)
Okay, how about this one?
Amazing.
Amazing because it's amazing
or amazing because we took too
long buying your snowboard?
Can't it be both?
across town before midnight.
Oh, why don't we go to
Jesse's rooftop party.
He lives just a
couple blocks away.
I told you I can
not go to Jesse's.
We've only been dating 3 weeks.
It's too soon.
You know, the old Cara
would've gone in a heartbeat.
Exactly, but the
new Cara is careful,
aware that holiday
parties are synonymous
with romantic expectations.
(laughing)
You know that sounds
like one of your articles.
Yeah.
Oh shoot.
Hey.
What's this?
Nothing.
[Megan] Nothing?
Mm-mm.
It's from Berkeley.
It's the grad program in
creative writing you applied to.
Maybe you got in.
Don't jinx it!
Don't you want to open it?
Oh, no no no no.
I can't.
You do it.
Okay.
Well, it looks like you're gonna
be bringing in the new year
with a bang.
- Oh!
- You got in!
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
I'm kinda dying to tell Jesse.
Well, then let's hit
up that rooftop party.
Let's go.
(funk music)
I just can't believe I got in.
Well, I can.
I edited the first fifty pages
of that mystery you sent in
and I'm still dying
to read the rest.
Well, you might get your wish
because if I accept, then I
have to show up February first
with the other hundred
and fifty pages.
What do you mean "if"?
Well, it's a big decision.
I'd have to quit the magazine.
Ooh it's almost midnight!
[All] 10, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two...
Ooh, that's him over there.
Ooh, super cute.
(all cheering)
On second thought, not so cute.
("Auld Lang Syne"
by Robert Burke)
Should old
acquaintance be forgot
Should old
acquaintance be forgot
So, what's the rule here,
you read five pages,
you gotta buy it?
If that's the
case, I'm on the hook
for half the mystery section.
Well, you're in
your happy place.
Meh, today, I'd call it
my glumly distracted place.
Come on, it's not that bad.
It's New Year's Day, you got
a couple of new mysteries,
our favorite scone,
a cup of coffee
with a sustainable
story attached to it.
And best friend who
thinks it's never to soon
to bounce back from heartbreak.
Okay, look.
sooner than normal
that he was the
wrong guy for you.
You should be focusing
on the good things
going on in your life right now,
like getting into grad school.
I don't know, Meg.
The more I think
about grad school,
the more I think
it's not a good idea.
What?
Oh, man.
How did we wind up here?
What's wrong with this place?
We just finished our
run in record time.
A, that's not a treat.
B, next time take me somewhere
that isn't also a bookstore.
I mean, last time
we came in here,
I had to pry you out of
there with the jaws of life.
Eh, what do you want from me?
This is my happy place.
Two wheat grass shots, please.
wheat grass isn't
your worst idea.
I mean, we are gonna be
boarding the sheer
face of a glacier
in the next few days.
Yeah, I wanted to
talk to you about that.
a pass on this weekend?
No, no, no.
No, Ben.
I already took time
off from the hospital
and Dr. Shawn is no longer
accepting cancellations.
All right, it's just I'm
under a lot of pressure
to stay out of the
public eye right now.
What are you gonna do?
Stay at home and mope?
I don't mope, I brood.
Then brood on a snowboard.
Besides, you're doing
it for the charity.
Yeah, you're right.
Of course, yeah.
For the kids.
Bottoms up.
Anyway, you don't have to
Clara Lake Resort is
not exactly a scene
if you know what I mean.
You mean there's no chance
of running into anyone we know.
No one we know, no
one you'd want to know.
All I'm saying is you
shouldn't let this Jesse stuff
cloud you judgment.
pros, not only the cons.
I have been and grad school
feels like a huge risk.
I'm just supposed to
walk away from a job
most writers would dream about?
Ha, most writers don't
understand the job requirements
of working the
relationship desk.
It's a lot of pressure,
this expectation that you
should be dating all the time.
It does take up
a lot of energy.
Energy you need to
finish your novel.
Maybe I should
take a step back.
[Megan] Yeah.
Get a little perspective.
Right?
Put dating on the back-burner.
Exactly.
Wait, what?
Just till I figure
Oooh, Diane is
not gonna like that.
Diane won't have a choice.
[Ben] Excuse me.
