I only met her just now, tonight, yeah.

- Do I have any advice for you?

- Yeah.

Yes. Every time you meet a boy

look him in the eyes.

- Okay.

- Because when you meet the guy,

when you meet

the love of your life,

you look him in the eyes,

you'll know right away.

I don't know.

I don't know if I can like anyone.

Really?

I mean, I've had crushes, but I don't

know if I can genuinely like someone.

I think first I have to like someone

and then see if I could fall in love.

- Do you like spooning?

- What's that?

# Waiting for you #

# I'll always be your friend. #

Hey, Charlyne.

Hey, Charlyne.

- Do you want to play guitar?

- Uh...

Play one song.

Come on, don't be shy.

I'm not. I'm scared.

What's the movie gonna be like,

funny?

- Well, we'll see, man.

- Romantic?

- Yeah, we'll see. It's basically...

- Quirky?

- Yeah.

- A quirky comedy?

Yeah, it's like...

it's a really quirky comedy,

- a real quirky comedy, man.

- That's perfect.

- I mean, the whole idea...

- That's just what America needs.

The whole idea is she said

that she doesn't believe that love exists.

- Yeah. I like your coat.

- And so...

Thanks, man.

I got it at Burlington Coat Factory.

It's nice. That's the kind of coat

that will last you, like, 50 years.

You know what I'm actually gonna do

with this, man? I'm gonna dry-clean it.

Yeah, you need to respect

your clothes.

That's a nice pair.

Thanks, man. You got a nice pair on too.

I was noticing the pattern.

So Charlyne... I'm pretty interested

in Charlyne.

She's pretty fascinating.

- Do you know her very well?

- I don't think so.

I think I know her more

than most people know her, but...

She's pretty mysterious.

Yeah, she's pretty mysterious.

You guys are similar like that.

- You guys are a pretty good match.

- I really like her.

I told you he likes you.

But he didn't even talk to me. He doesn't

even know me. How could he like me?

You guys talked a little bit. I mean,

he just said you seemed really cool.

He could just be a friend,

but if he calls I'd say give the guy a shot.

Well, if I see a number I don't recognize

I'm not gonna answer it.

I'll tell him to call back.

I'll just turn off my phone.

Well, he's a very nice guy.

And that's true.

And you guys are a good match.

- Hey, how are you? I'm Nick.

- How's it going?

- Nick, Brendan. Nice to meet you.

- This is Charlyne; Charlyne, Brendan.

Nice to meet you.

So what up, man? What are we doing?

So here's what we're thinking.

We would love to get inside,

kind of get set up

and then she'll ask you some questions

- and whatever comes out, comes out.

- Okay, cool. Come on in.

Perfect. Thank you.

What's happening, Jack?
