Blind Date Page #2

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, I guess so.

Why didn't you have a date tonight?

Is there something I should know?

I can't imagine why you don't

have a date every night of the week.

Know what? I was thinking

the same about you.

- Come on, I'm serious.

- Me too. I was thinking that.

I asked you first.

I stopped dating

about three months ago.

I was involved,

but it didn't work out.

Boy, how it didn't work out. So I was

living in Baton Rouge with my mama.

And you're my first date.

But you almost weren't.

Susie talked me into it...

...l'm glad to say.

So how about you?

Well, my date backed out

at the last minute...

...l'm glad to say.

You want some candy?

I'm not much of a candy person.

That's good.

I always was a candy person.

Some people drink,

some people do drugs. I do sugar.

This looks Japanese.

"Master and Concubines"?

It's Yakamoto.

- What is?

- The big business dinner tonight...

...is for this Japanese industrialist

new client of ours.

He's old-world Japanese.

His wife's like his slave...

...and he keeps concubines.

- You're kidding.

- No. His wife knows all about it.

It's traditional or something.

Tell me something.

Are you into those traditions?

No, I'm actually a

one-concubine kind of guy...

...actually.

- Good.

So, what was it that made you

break up with this guy?

- What do you mean?

- What was he like?

Psychopath. Like that guy over there.

What's wrong?

That's him! That's my psychotic

ex-boyfriend David.

There. The guy in the goofy bow tie.

He looks okay to me.

He's been chasing me

for three months. I moved twice.

I think he's coming over here!

Watch it. Please just hide.

Just relax.

Hello, Nadia.

- David, don't start anything.

- I just want to say hello.

Hi, I'm David.

- Walter.

- She has every reason to be upset.

I was so in love,

I made a total a**hole of myself.

Apology accepted. Nice to meet you.

- How long you been dating?

- None of your business!

It is my business.

There's not a night that's gone by...

You son of a b*tch,

are you drilling her?!

Shut up and leave her alone!

Wait, I want to talk to you.

I'll find you!

- I have an idea.

- Yeah? What?

Thank you.

- Okay, Walter, what's going on?

- Well...

We have about half an hour.

Indulge me.

- You like guitar?

- Oh, yeah, I do.

- We're set. How's the level for you?

- It's basically cool.

Turn up the monitors a bit

and we'll be there. Thanks.

- How are you?

- Good, Stanley. How are you?

Did you bring your guitar?

No, I brought something better

than a guitar.

- How you doing?

- Hi, how are you?

Good, good.

You ever hear him play?

He's really fantastic.

Relax...

...sip a little champagne.

I don't think I should drink.

The last three or four times I...

I mean, it sort of makes me go crazy!

Well, one little glass

isn't gonna make you go crazy.

This is our first toast.

To auspicious beginnings.

It's really good.

Stanley Jordan, take two. Rolling.

So, what made you think

to stop by here?

I recorded here when I thought

I wanted to be a musician.

I played guitar. But I really

don't have time for it now.

I played all the time. I went to

the bathroom carrying a Stratocaster.

I drove my mom nuts. I got tendonitis.

Why did you give it up?

Well...

Because if you want

to be a musician...

...you're guaranteeing yourself

a life of poverty and obscurity...

...unless you're talented

like Stanley.

And...

...I got a good job now...

...good car. Next year,

I'll be able to get a condo.

I don't know.

It just kind of made sense.

We're gonna be late.

Let me give you a little...

Oh, I'm getting bad.

I'm starting to feel the champagne.

That's okay.

Feel away.

Come on.

Hi, I called for Davis,

for two, please.

- Joseph, table six.

- Follow me, please.

Please don't touch the flowers.

The arrangement is very expensive.

These things don't smell.

They're no good anyway.

- Sorry. Oh, my God.

- It's all right.

- You sure?

- It'll be fine.

- Lovely looking girl.

- Thank you.

- You know my wife.

- Yes, hello.

Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Gruen.

Thank you. Do you think you could

find me some safety pins?

Safety pins?

No, I don't think so.

There's a lot of roast beef in here.

Would you care for a cocktail?

- A bottle of your finest champagne.

- Very good.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

That's Yakamoto.

Good evening.

- My wife.

- Very nice to meet you, Mr. Yakimoto.

Yakamoto.

Mrs. Yakamoto.

- How lovely you look.

- Thank you.

That's incredible.

She's like a geisha girl.

Cupcake, would you excuse me

for just a minute?

Business.

- They still do that in Japan?

- I don't know...

Walter, you old dog.

- Denny Gordon, this is Nadia Gates.

- How do you do?

- Hi.

- I gotta hand it to you.

This is the most exciting

woman in the place.

Thank you. Nice tie.

Where did you get it?

I don't remember. Probably

one of those places over on Rodeo.

- Where's that?

- You don't know where Rodeo is?

No, I know where it is.

I just wondered if you did.

What happened to your pocket?

- Oh, we had a little...

- That's the new style.

See? Oh, that looks nice.

- Aren't you forgetting your date?

- My date? Oh, right. Yes.

I do hope that we'll meet again.

"Denny Gordon, supervisor,

real estate analysis."

How did you get that?

It fell out of my pocket.

- You pressed it in my hand.

- I don't think I did that.

- You put it right in my hand.

- You see...

- Why? Did you think I'd call you up?

- Come on, you know how it is.

No, I don't think

he does know how it is.

He's not a vain slimeball pig

that's led around by his dick.

I guess that just about

sums it up, huh?

All's fair in love and...

She's right. You really are

a slimeball pig.

Hey, Denny! Your ex-fiance,

she just took a hike.

Oh, jeez.

Honey?

Sweetheart!

I'll be right back, sir.

You look lovely.

Thank you.

Pumpkin?

- My boss, Mr. Gruen, is watching us.

- Where is he?

- Boy, that was...

- You shouldn't have any more.

- Are you ready?

- Yes, we are.

Will you order for me, please?

We'll start with

the tuve de veau au vin...

Which soup?

We'll have the crme de concombre.

Vgtable?

This one right here.

The gratin dauphinois?

A bit of a clash with the

veau au vin rouge, don't you think?

Excuse me. Come here.

Can I ask you something?

Do you really speak French

or just bullshit menu French?

- I trained in Paris.

- Oh, good.

What did you say?

I told him to stick a skewer

up his ass and flamb himself.

- What did he say?

- He called me a slut.

Now, just a goddamn minute here.

What did he say?

"Your taste in women

is as bad as your French."

How do you say, "Step outside"?

This is a...

Excuse me.

I said, "The champagne

tastes like horse piss."

He said, "I should know,"

which is quite a good comeback.

- What the hell...?

- Oh, my God!

- I'm sorry.

- What did he say?

I don't know. I don't speak French.

He insulted my date.

It's all Henri's fault. He's French.
