- Uh-huh.

- It's from the show.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Bye. -Bye.

- Yeah. I hope you come back.

- Bye.

Kumi, there's not just going

to be a magic spark, okay?

You have to work at it.

You have to stay open.

- Okay, ma. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Okay. Good.

I just wish you were

better at it, you know?

I mean, you've had so much

practice and you're still, like,

- you're not that good at it.

- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

- Very funny. -Put your a-game

with Naveed, but then with me,

you're kind of just phoning it

in a little bit.

- Again with the comedy,

the comedy. -

all the time with the comedy.

Be serious sometimes.

I am serious.

I want to help you get better.

So, are you ever gonna

let me sit in the front seat?

No, I'm a professional

and you're paying for this ride.

I don't want to pay for this

ride. It's surging right now.

Yeah. Sorry.

You shouldn't have

typed in the number.

Okay, the year is 1969.

MGM has had

a string of failures,

so it turns to its most

bankable star, Vincent price.

Is this your compatibility test?

Like the way some people are

with Vonnegut or big Lebowski?

No, just watch the movie

and take it seriously

- because it's very serious.

- I'm gonna love it.

I love it when men

test me on my taste.

I just want to share

this movie with you,

- so I don't know why you're

reading into... -How many...

How many women have you

showed this movie to?

Zero.

How many women have you

shown a "b" horror movie to

on, like, a third date?

- This is not a "b" horror movie.

Okay, are you ready?

Just close your eyes

'cause when the menu comes on,

there's some spoilers

in the menu.

- Okay?

- I'm ready, I'm ready.

Okay, I'll hit play.

Okay, go.

Watch.

- I'm watching.

- Shh.

Watch this part.

- No.

- What?

- If you're tired, we can watch it later.

- Sorry.

Just have that weird, like,

yawning thing that happens

when you're watching

a really boring film.

It's not boring.

Just wait for it to kick in.

- The plot kicks in really soon.

- Okay.

Your loss. Nine times nine.

Nine killed you.

That was fun.

Uh, thanks for the ride home,

but we got to stop doing this.

- Yeah. -I know I've said that

before, but I really do mean it.

I can't be doing this right now.

I know, I know. Totally. 100%.

I agree with you.

- So don't call me again.

- I won't.

I promise.

Good luck on all

your future endeavors.

Oh, yeah, thank you.

Hey, can we have an awkward hug

before we part forever?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Uh...

- Bye.

- Bye.

Uh, you just promised never

to call me again, so...

It's really cold out here.

It's so cold.

You make a pretty good point.

It is a lot warmer in here.

It is warmer in here.
