Can your thing wait

just a few minutes?

I'll give you a taste of my cheese.

I can rephrase that.

Okay. This is our basic chvre.

Probably our best seller and the

cheese that started it all, as they say.

These are our surface-ripened

cheeses. These are fantastic.

And these are the aged

raw-milk cheeses. Now--

This is really boring, isn't it?

-No.

-Yes.

This is Louie. He works for me.

-Hi.

-Hi. Zoe.

-Zoe.

-Mona.

-Can l give you a sample box?

-Oh, yeah.

-l'm okay.

-We're okay.

You're not lactose intolerant,

are you? l hate that.

Hey. You're still coming over tonight,

right?

Yeah. Yeah.

We should go.

-Are you ready?

-l want a sample box.

Okay. Well, I gotta go. Bye.

Bye.

-You said free sample box, right?

-Yes.

-Free? Okay.

-Absolutely.

In that case....

Okay, spill it.

Who is he, what does he do...

-...how do we know him?

-Who?

Stan from the farmers' market.

He's called twice already.

I'm gonna kill Mona.

Is he a farmer?

-He makes cheese.

-He's a Pilgrim?

Mona said his feta was incredible.

That makes so much

more sense now.

Who is this guy?

He's nobody. He's just some guy.

-Are you blushing?

-You're totally blushing.

Can we calm down,

get ready for the book signing?

-No.

-This is exciting.

I'm not calming down.

He's nobody. And even if

he was somebody, it doesn't matter...

...because I don't want

to be with anybody. Okay?

So let's just get back to work.

-Finding a relationship is work.

-l don't want a relationship.

Well, it is.

Yo, taxi.

So dogs have

an ingrained pack mentality.

If we don't assert leadership

over our dogs...

...our dogs are going to show...

...unstable behavior

or dominant behavior.

In other words, in the dog world...

...who you are is stable or

unstable energy, leader or a follower.

So when a dog introduces himself

to another dog, what do they do?

Exactly.

When a human wants to meet a dog:

"Oh, my God, he's so--"

So l mean, it's like, poor dog,

you know?

And so they're interacting based

on energy and also the nose....

Okay. Now this is getting weird.

I know. We keep running into

each other. lt's crazy.

So your being here

is just another coincidence?

-Oh, no. I love this guy.

-Don't you have someplace...

-...to be tonight?

-Not till later.

Do you even have a dog?

No. But I might get one

now that I can "be the pack leader."

The dogs would just shake it.

"Do you want to play again?"

-l'm really busy here.

-You have a boyfriend.

-Just tell me. I can take it.

-No.

You just know

you're not interested in me?

You're making a big mistake.

I'm very interesting.

I'm just not interested in men

right now, okay?

-Oh, you're gay?

-l'm not gay.
