THAT'S THE THING.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE WAS SO, LIKE, SWEE AND CHARMING IN THE ELEVATOR,

AND THEN HE JUST TOTALLY

IGNORED ME AT THE DINNER.

HE WAS REALLY RUDE.

OKAY, WAIT, WAIT.

SO HE WAS AT THE DINNER

WHERE YOU WERE SERVING?

YEAH. HE WAS

THE GUEST OF HONOR.

HE JUST MADE PARTNER

AT HIS LAW FIRM.

LIBBY, THAT'S IT.

HE'S GOT A SNOOTY JOB.

THEY DON'T TALK

TO "THE HELP," YOU KNOW?

AT LEAST NOT IN FRON OF THEIR SNOOTY FRIENDS.

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, YES,

HE WAS DEFINITELY

A BUTTONED-UP KIND OF GUY,

BUT THERE WAS:

SOMETHING ABOUT HIM.

HE WAS SWEET.

I DON'T KNOW, LIB.

IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT YOU

WERE PUT ON THAT ELEVATOR,

AND IT'S NO COINCIDENCE

THAT IT GOT STUCK.

THERE IS A REASON.

AND WHAT REASON IS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[laughing]

WELL, THAT'S SO HELPFUL.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT, UM,

MAYBE YOU WERE PU ON THAT ELEVATOR

WITH THAT GUY THAT NIGH TO LEARN A LITTLE SOMETHING

ABOUT YOURSELF.

OR MAYBE THE LESSON

WASN'T YOURS TO LEARN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE GRUMPY MCGRUMPERTON

WENT HOME THAT NIGH AND LEARNED A LITTLE SOMETHING

ABOUT HIS RUDE BEHAVIOR

FROM YOUR SHINING EXAMPLE.

[car horns honking]

HOW WAS YOUR DATE?

CYNTHIA-- SHE'S NICE.

I LIKE HER.

UM, SHE'S ATTRACTIVE,

AND YOU WERE RIGHT.

WE HAD A LOT IN COMMON.

OKAY, SO YOU WEREN' BLOWN AWAY.

ALL RIGHT, BUT TAKE HER OU ON A SECOND DATE,

LIKE A REAL DATE.

YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO DINNER,

TAKE HER TO THE MOVIES.

IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S ANYONE

ELSE YOU'RE INTERESTED IN.

IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE

YOU'RE INTERESTED IN?

DUDE, DO NOT HOLD OU ON ME.

I MIGHT HAVE MET SOMEONE

AT THE PARTNERSHIP DINNER.

HER NAME'S LIBBY.

THERE WERE NO SINGLE CHICKS

AT YOUR PARTNERSHIP DINNER.

NO, ACTUALLY, WE, UH...

WE GOT STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR

TOGETHER ON THE WAY UP.

SO DID YOU ASK HER OUT?

UH, NO, NOT EXACTLY.

UM, SHE'S

A CULINARY STUDENT, SO...

I DON'T KNOW, I MIGHT HAVE ASKED

FOR A COOKING LESSON.

SMOOTH. NICE.

BUT WHEN WE GOT OFF,

IT TURNS OU SHE WAS A...A WAITRESS

FOR THE DINNER.

JONATHAN, BUDDY...

COME ON. FORGE ABOUT ELEVATOR GIRL, OKAY?

BECAUSE YOU JUS BECAME PARTNER

AT ONE OF THE LARGEST LAW FIRMS

ON THE WEST COAST.

YOU'RE NOT DATING A WAITRESS.

YOUR BOSSES ARE:

I MEAN, YOU GOT TO

BE SOCIALIZING WITH THEM,

AND WITH THE RIGHT KIND

MAKE IT A SECOND DATE.

I'LL BRING KATHERINE.

- YEAH.

OKAY, BUDDY. GOOD IDEA.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,

I WILL LEAVE YOU TO IT.

THANK YOU.

I ASSUME YOU'LL NEED

A CATERER.

YES.

JONATHAN, I COULDN'T HELP

BUT OVERHEAR.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ASK

THIS CYNTHIA WOMAN?

I MEAN, SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU

HIT IT OFF WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

I MEAN, I SHOULD SEE

CYNTHIA AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, AND BESIDES,

THE OTHER WOMAN...

I, UH...

I SCREWED THAT UP.

YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST--

I WAS SO SURPRISED

THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY

WORKING AT THE DINNER.

YOU KNOW, I...

I JUST FELT WEIRD

TALKING TO HER.

I WAS KIND OF RUDE.

ANYWAYS,

WASN'T MEANT TO BE, RIGHT?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK IF IT'S MEANT TO BE,

YOU MIGHT SEE HER AGAIN.

PERHAPS.

DON'T YOU WORRY

ABOUT A THING.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA

BELIEVE THIS.

GUESS WHAT?

I GOT A CATERING GIG,

AS THE COOK.

WOW!

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE

GONNA START A CATERING COMPANY.

I WASN'T,

BUT THIS WOMAN CALLED,

AND SHE SAID SHE GOT MY NAME

FROM THE HOTEL.

OH, WELL, IN THAT CASE,

YOU KNOW,

THAT ISN'T CREEPY AT ALL.

WHO IS THIS WOMAN?

YOU GONNA END UP TIED UP

IN HER BASEMENT SOMEWHERE?

I HOPE NOT,

BUT THAT'S WHY

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO WITH ME

AND BE MY SOUS CHEF.

PLEASE.

- NO.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

NO. I MICROWAVE

EXCLUSIVELY.

I JUST NEED YOU TO HELP ME

PREP AND SERVE.

IT'S REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL,

AND I WILL PAY YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ME.

OKAY, THEN FINE,

WE'LL BARTER.

OKAY, YOU HELP ME DO THIS,

AND I WILL, UH...

WATCH PAIGE SO YOU AND MARTY

OH, RIGHT. UH...

THANK YOU AGAIN, ROSEMARY,

FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

MY PLEASURE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE.
