named the Internet.

Here, if I turn, I'm

having a little trouble

with the directional, uh...

- I think you're doing great.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

I'm good.

It's just these... these

oars seem, like, really old.

Very old, very old

oars, terribly old.

- Um, this is good.

- Great.

Are you hungry?

Always.

This is, like, a real date, huh?

I mean, we're on a

boat in Prospect Park,

and your brought a picnic.

How am I doing?

You're doing all right.

This is, uh, our table.

Lovely, beautiful table.

Um, I... I should

probably warn you,

though, I am an

incredibly picky eater.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Uh, I saw you picking

olives and peppers

off your pizza at the party.

Oh, you, uh, saw that?

That's embarrassing.

Um, right, I hate olives and

peppers, which is why I was

removing them from my pizza.

Yeah, I know.

Uh, I figured.

Right.

This is a box full

of olives and peppers.

It's not.

Great, that's great.

You know, I really like you.

I really like you, too.

Do you want some more wine?

Yes, please.

OK.

OK.

Hey, what's up?

Ben lives here.

GABBY (ON PHONE): Where?

Uh, in my building

downstairs, Ben lives in my,

uh, building downstairs.

What?

DIANA (ON PHONE): Yes,

yep, Ben Wineburger

lives in my building.

I just saw him.

Oh, my God, what did you say?

Yeah, I mean, like, I just

saw him through his window.

He didn't see me see him.

I just... you know, I just

saw him through his window.

So...

That's so crazy.

You know, Stephanie Jacobs

moved into her ex-boyfriend's

building in college.

And Daisy Debrell lived in the

same building as her ex also,

but I think they

were neighbors first.

Right, um, do I go say hi?

Um, hey, D, I, uh, I gotta go.

Why don't you go to sleep, and...

and we'll talk

about it tomorrow?

- But, Gabby...

- You're fine.

I love you.

Bye.

What's up?

Is it hot in here?

Hey, do you like Radiohead?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, do you want to...

do you want to

put on some music?

No, I was just wondering.

Oh.

[phone vibrating]

Hello.

WOMAN (ON PHONE): Hello.

We have a delivery

downstairs for Diana.

Oh, sh*t.

Um, yeah, I'll be right down.

I'll be right down.

Excuse me.

Are you Diana?

No, I'm a man.

Are you Diana?

Hey.

Hi.

What... what are you

doing in my building?

Uh, yeah, I live here now.

Uh, I... I... too, I

live here now, too.

I... I'm moving in.

Lady, we have a lot

of deliveries after you.

So can we, you know, get moving?

Of course, I'm so sorry.

Uh, second floor,

the door is open.

I'm going to come down.

I'll come down.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

You got glasses.

Yeah, I, uh, stopped

wearing contacts.

Right, that...

that makes sense.
