Oh, your mom?

- Yeah, a cute mom.

- How old is your mom?

- Forty-five.

- How old do you think I am?

Oh, I don't know, I...

Like, between 50 and 62?

I'm only 39...

Uh, no, I turned 40.

- I'm a young 40.

- Well, here she is.

Oh, that... That's your mom?

Yeah, and she likes

your work too.

Well, that's sweet.

Mmm-hmm, she's sweet.

Listen, Kat, I'm...

I'm still getting over my ex.

Look, you should

just meet my mom.

I promise you won't meet

anybody nearly as hot as her

in your apartment, okay?

God, I hate that apartment.

You know what, Kat?

What the hell,

I'll meet your cute mom.

Great. Here's the address,

be there at 8:
00.

And wear something nice.

Like this kind of thing?

Who is it?

Hey, uh, it's Will Henry, I'm

here for the... For the date.

Gosh...

You brought wine!

This is just so awkward.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize

it would be awkward.

- Uh, you must be?

- Oh, I am Diane...

- Kat's mom.

- Oh, well, I am, uh...

Will. Yes, I know. Uh, and

it's nice to meet you too.

Look, I don't mean

to be rude, but,

I just wanted to let you know

that I'm seeing someone.

Oh... Uh, well...

Yeah, you know,

Kat doesn't know.

Which is why she set this up.

Truth is, I don't think

she'd like the guy.

I'm not even sure if I like him

but, we've had a couple dates

and I just, I don't know, I just feel as

though I should be straightforward with you.

I know a lot of people date a

lot of people nowadays and...

I don't know, I'm not comfortable

with that sort of thing. Yeah.

No judgment of course

if, if that's what you do.

I mean you could be coming from a

date right now for all I know, right?

You're not coming from

a date right now though?

Huh?

Uh-uh, no, no, don't

answer it, don't answer it

and as a matter of fact,

just forget it.

That is none

of my business. Hmm.

But I did hear you recently split up.

And I'm sorry.

Mmm. Dating sucks.

It does.

Um, well, okay...

I guess I'll... I guess

I'll just go home then.

Oh, no...

- You can't go.

- Why not?

Kat's here.

All right, listen, I'm not sure about this.

It seems very messy to me.

I... I don't really want to be involved...

- With deceiving a student.

- Uh...

- Mr. Henry?

- Hey, Kat!

Hey.

What are you guys

doing out here?

- Nothing.

- Mmm-hmm.

I, uh, just, uh...

I'm just getting

to know your teacher.

- Tight.

- Yeah.

Very tight...

Very tight friends.

So, how long have you been

making comic books?

I'm not sure, um, ever since

I was a kid, I suppose.

Hmm, really?

Were your parents encouraging?

- Oh, not at all.

- Why not?

Not a lot of successful comic

book artists where I'm from.

- Oh. Where are you from?

- New Zealand.

Oh, it's a beautiful place.
