Stay here. Enjoy the shops.

I'll be back soon.

When I didn't hear from you

right away...

...I figured you had lost my number

or something.

At least that's what my roommate said

must have happened.

Oh, no, I didn't lose your number.

Uh, actually the, uh, night I met you...

...I started writing something,

so that's been really consuming.

The night you met me?

Am I?

Never mind. Ha, ha. Never mind.

Um, am I in it?

I can't really talk about it.

Right, of course.

But if I am, like, when it comes out

in stores and stuff...

...will you tell me which character I am?

You're not in it.

Right, but if I am?

I will let you know.

Okay. Awesome. Awesome.

So, um, do you do this a lot?

Do what?

Meet up in the middle of the day for sex.

No. No, that's not...

I just wanted someone to talk to.

Oh.

Right. Right.

Well, men never

just wanna talk to women.

I do.

If you say so.

Uh, heh, are you even legal?

I mean, not to drink, but, yeah.

Of course. Do you, um...?

Do you wanna go someplace?

Hi.

Sorry, what?

Do you wanna go to my place?

Hi.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

What's going on?

Am I interrupting?

I thought I heard something.

Do you wanna get out of here?

- Calvin.

Do you know this girl?

Yeah. Hi, I'm Ruby, Calvin's girlfriend.

I don't think we've met.

Uh, no.

Um, I'm Mabel. I was just going.

You can see her?

Yeah, she can see me.

I can see her.

You can see her.

Let's not make this worse, all right?

Sorry, I didn't know.

Did Harry put you up to this?

What, your brother is in on this?

What?

Ruby, it was very nice meeting you.

Calvin, have fun writing.

Who the f*** was that?

Can you see her?

Calvin, who was that?

Can I see her?

Can he see me? What are you...? Stop.

What's wrong with you, man?

She's real.

Oh, no. Ruby!

Ruby! Ruby.

Get away from me!

Ruby! Ruby!

Get away! Get away!

Ruby!

Ruby, please, listen to me.

Let go!

Stop!

Listen to me. Calm down. Ruby.

Get away from me!

- Hey, you okay?

You want me to call the police?

No. Thank you.

He's just being a complete a**hole.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Thank you, I'm fine.

Ruby.

You stay away.

God, I should have known.

You've been acting like such a freak... Stop!

Let go of me!

Put me down!

Put me down or I'm gonna scream!

Ruby.

Stop it!

Put me down!

Ruby?

Oh, my God, stop! Ow!

Shh! Stop it. Oh, do not bite.

Do not bite.

Listen to me. Shh, shh.

There is a lot that is new here,

more than I can tell you.

I'm having trouble processing it all,

okay?

Then talk to me about it.

Don't go on a date with another girl.

I wasn't on a date.

What is going on with you?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm just having trouble...

...wrapping my head
