What Planet Are You From? Page #6

He's in the program?

Not that I know of. This would make

fantastic dinner conversation.

- Busy tonight?

- Why were you there?

Checking it out. Have you had

a chance to think about dinner?

Oh, God. I get it.

You go to AA meetings to

pick up women. That's sick.

How can you take advantage of people?

Perry took me. I had no idea.

How's 8?

Excuse me. May I?

Here's the estimate, okay?

I hope next time you take

a pathetic little jaunt to AA...

...you drive more carefully.

- What's she talking about?

- I'm as confused as you are.

Oh, come on.

I just put everything I had

into this car.

If you don't want to go through your

insurance, write a check. I'll wait.

That's where you were last night?

That's what you didn't want to tell me.

You were at an AA meeting?

Now you know.

I hope you're happy.

You'll get your check.

Why couldn't you tell me?

I wasn't sure I was strong enough to

stay committed to the program...

...and I didn't want to disappoint you

if I dropped out.

Baby, I had no idea.

It's been tough, but, thank God,

so far so good.

It's a brave thing you're doing.

I can't believe it.

One day at a time, sugar.

I'll walk you out.

I love you so much.

I'll do everything in my power...

...to make sure you never take another

drink for the rest of your life.

Thank you.

That was his wife.

He's married and he's going to

AA meetings to pick up women?

What a humongous sleazebag.

You married?

Nope. So I guess we're on for dinner?

No.

Nice meeting you.

What planet are you from?

What do you mean?

You want to go out with me, I say no,

you're like, okay, and that's that.

Put a little effort into it.

You asking me out?

No, I'm not asking you out. If I was

asking a man out, he'd know it.

Right.

You know, I have a feeling

that you're not what you appear to be.

You smell nice.

Thanks. Something new.

Just bought it today.

God. Why was it never

this complicated before?

Because before, by now I'd be drunk

and in bed with the guy.

How's 6:
00?

Damn it. Fine. Anything. 7.

6:
45?

Fine.

Tell me something about yourself.

My name is Harold Anderson.

I work in a bank.

And?

More?

I never met a man that talks less

about himself.

Where were you born?

My turn to ask a question.

What do you do for a living?

I worked in a guitar shop

for a long time.

When I got sober,

I realized I had to get out.

Too many negative influences.

Such as?

Well, musicians, for one.

There was a sign over the door saying:

"Come in, pick up a guitar...

...and play the beginning of 'Stairway

to Heaven' as badly as you can. "

I was close to going postal.

So what are you doing now?

Well, don't laugh, but I'm working
