The Matchbreaker Page #4

Hello?

Sure, I can do that for you.

I just need a few details.

What's your daughter's name?

Ok.

What's the issue you

have with her boyfriend?

Butcher's daughter

dating vegetarian.

Never gonna work.

Ok, I'll need more.

Is he possessive, lazy, stupid?

Any, you know, strange habits?

Tell you what.

Think about it, write

some down, and we'll meet

for coffee on Thursday, ok?

Sounds good.

Thanks.

Where is she?

Pump three.

Ok, we stay here

until she clears out.

Wait, I thought you were on

your way to meet a client?

I guess I'm going to be late.

I don't know, man.

I think you should just give in.

She wants you.

That's half the battle.

Wait, hold up.

That is the battle.

Wrong battlefield.

Really though, you

should get rid of Lexie.

She's cramping your style.

Absolutely not.

She is the only way I'm

keeping these girls at bay.

Besides, they open

up to me if they

know I'm not trying to move in.

I don't think Veronica really

cares about your girlfriend.

She already knows Lexie is my

sister, so that doesn't work.

Can you just start

sending these girls my way?

You don't want them.

Because...?

Same reasons I

don't want them...

Incompatible personalities,

blubbering about their break

up, weird habits

you'd have to live

with for the rest of your life.

Trust me.

Still.

Oh, she's coming.

Ethan?

Veronica, hey.

What are you guys doing here?

Oh, we're just picking up

some... his mom asked us to...

You know, it's so funny.

I was just on my

way to your house

to invite you to my party.

Oh, wow, Friday?

Mm.

Any other day would have

been fine, but Friday...

Yeah, we have that...

Right, that uh...

That thing.

Minor surgery.

The party's on Thursday.

The flyer says Friday.

The party's on Thursday.

Sentinel creek park at sunset.

Aww, that's where beauty

and the beast first met.

Yeah.

I can't leave that

crossed my mind.

Ok, well, since you're

free on Thursday,

I guess I'll see you there.

Bye.

Bye, Sam.

Dude, you know you're the

only one invited to that party.

I know.

His name is Brian.

And you don't like him?

I like him fine.

It's just that after her dad

died, she's all I have left.

I don't want her wasting

her life with this boy.

What's wrong with him?

Nothing.

I just want her

to be with Thomas.

Thomas is?

My future son-in-law.

He's a lawyer, about

to become partner.

Brian is just an

accountant and will be

doing Thomas's taxes one day.

Ok.

So what else do you

know about Brian?

I know he's not Thomas.

It's just that it

would help if you could

give me some more information.

You know, any ex-girlfriends,

multiple Facebook accounts,

bad credit history.
