[Bell Rings]

Reuben?

You're Reuben Feffer, right?

Uh, yes.

l'm Polly... Prince.

We went to junior high

or middle school or

whatever it's called together.

You were next to me--

Yeah! Polly Prince!

Yes!

No, it's coming back to me now.

You left before high school.

Yeah, after seventh grade.

My mom and l, we moved to Michigan.

And now you live here in New York?

Yeah, moved here

a few months ago.

So, you know-- Yup.

Wow.

[Giggles]

Friend of yours?

Yeah, that's Roxanne.

She does that with,

uh, bread, wine bottles and--

Anyway, uh, so what's your deal?

You've got to be married with kids...

and the whole thing.

No, l'm not. l'm single.

Yeah, I haven't taken the plunge.

- Oh.

- Can I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah. Hey, Sandy, this is Polly Prince.

Remember? From middle school?

Hey, how you doing?

Wow. Okay. Sandy Lyle.

Last time I saw you, you were

playing bagpipes in that movie.

Croco Tears.

Yep, that's me.

[Laughs]

Polly, can I have a word with you?

Yeah. Sorry.

Excuse us.

What happened to you?

Reuben, l'm in a situation here.

We have to leave now.

No. Can we stay

a couple more minutes?

Dude, no.

This is serious.

I just sharted.

I don't know what that means.

I tried to fart

and a little sh*t came out.

I just sharted. Now let's go.

You're the most disgusting person

l've ever met in my life.

You have to walk around

and pour wine.

Mm-hmm.

Polly?

Focus for one second, okay?

l'm sorry.

So, hey, guy.

I got to go circulate.

[Chuckles]

Um, but-- So, Sandy,

you're good though?

You're still acting?

I am. Yeah. lt's going incredibly well.

l'm actually headlining a new revival

of jesus Christ Superstar.

That's great!

Yeah.

Well, it was really good

seeing you guys.

Yeah, you too.

Okay. See ya.

All right. Bye, Polly.

- Be good.

- Bye. More wine?

Polly Prince.

lt's funny, huh? Seeing her.

Are you okay?

Great. Thank you.

Huh. She looks good.

Let it rain!

So I did a lot of thinking last night,

and there's something

l'm pretty excited about.

What's up? Nice.

Let it rain!

I feel like I might be ready to move on.

You know, get my life back on track.

So, I am going to ask

Polly Prince on a date.

Oh, that's a mistake!

She's not right for you, dude.

Rain dance!

Hey, you guys

want to play some twos?

Actually, we're kind of

in the middle of a conversation, so--

You douche bags bring your 'A' game?

What was that?

l'm just messing with you,

sasquatch. Let's get it on.

Pick and roll! Pick and roll!

Outlet! Outlet!

Rain dance!

Sandy, come on.

Sandy! Sandy! Sandy!

[Yells]

Sandy!

Sandy!

White chocolate!

Raindrop!

Old school!

'T.' ' T.'

Time-out. l'm burning.

My lungs are burning.

Time-out. Time-out.

So why do you think

Polly's so wrong for me?

[Panting]

You don't even know

this girl, Reuben.

You haven't seen her

since seventh grade.

How different could she be?

I mean, she was a senior delegate

at the Model U.N.

She was in the chess club.

She was a 'mathlete.'

Her yearbook stats are really impressive.

Did you see the tattoo on her back?

Yeah. So what?

Mathletes don't wear body art

like that. 'Nuff said. Ball in!

I really feel like

I ran into Polly for a reason.

Really. I mean, l'm sorry

if you don't agree, Sandy,

but I happen to believe

in a little thing called destiny.

You guys ready?

You know what? You think maybe

you could put your shirt back on?

You guys ready to play?

Good shot. Good shot.

Could I have the ball for a second?

Could I have the ball?

Hey, you know what?

Could we switch?

l'd rather not, dude. I just found out

how to cover this man right here, okay?

Come on, let's play.

[Groans]

Ohh!

Yes, can I get the number

for a Polly Prince, please?

Okay, great.

Are you sure?

'Cause I got a hang-up,

So maybe, I don't know, the phone lines

got crossed or something.
