---

the situation with Amanda

like mature adults.

Are you finished?

No.

I just think that

we need to really -

Look, Erica, I love you but

this bullshit has got to stop.

I can't spend all my time

arguing with you

about something that

didn't even happen.

I just want you to

be honest with me.

You want me to be

honest with you? Hmm?

Alright, here's a

dose of reality.

I am about this close to

ending this with you, okay?

And then who is gonna put

up with your bullshit?

I'm gonna tell you who,

his name is no one, okay?

So why don't you

just stop the drama,

grab your two piece

and come over, alright?

Alright.

Oh, and can you pick up

some beer on the way over?

Yeah sure.

Alright, great.

Look, um, I'm sorry that I had

to be so direct with you,

but I only do it because

I love you, okay?

Chin up.

I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

That was unexpected.

Kyle?

Nice job.

You were on

the whole time?

Yep.

So you just heard,

I'm, I'm sorry.

I just couldn't.

Look, I got no stake in this,

I was just trying to help

but, you know,

it's your life.

Kyle, I don't want you

to think that I'm -

Hey, don't sweat it,

you know, I mean,

it's not like

I know you for real.

Yeah, you do.

I think maybe you're

the only who does.

I'm gonna go now.

Okay... yeah.

Bye, Erica.

Goodbye, Kyle.

Welcome to CPI,

this is Erica,

which one of our products

are you calling about?

Hi, yeah, I bought one of

your potato shredders

and it's, uh, totally stuck.

Um, excuse me, the what?

Potato shredder.

Potato shredder?

I'm not showing any potato

shredders manufactured by CPI.

Are you sure it's a CPI product?

Um, yeah.

It says CPI right here.

Can you, um, can you

describe the product ma'am?

Well, it's a potato shredder

like for hash browns.

I'm not seeing any

potato shredders

in our products database.

Well you put a potato

in the shredder,

you flip a switch and then the

hash browns fill a receptacle.

Okay, so it's an electronic.

Yeah, it plugs in.

What does the

receptacle look like?

Mmm, kind of like a garbage can.

By any chance does it

say cross shredder?

Yes, yes, it says

cross shredding action.

Ma'am, that's a paper shredder.

Oh, it shreds paper, too?

It shreds paper only.

You've been putting potatoes

into a paper shredder.

Oh...

Well, how do I

get it unstuck?

Seriously?

Are you really that stupid?

Excuse me?

Um, I'd like to speak

to your supervisor.

You want a second opinion?

Okay, you're a moron.

How's that?

# Lay down, lay down

Whoa... #

# Lay down

Lay down, whoa #

# Another day with

nothing left to say #

# A couple years

down the road #

# The girl I met

is now a silhouette #

# Of someone

I used to know #

# So can we please try

and find our way #

# Back to where

it all began #

# Because somewhere

in those tired eyes #

# Memories of that

silly night #

# Are we strong enough

to last? #

# Lay down, lay down

Whoa... #

What?

Hey, what happened?

Nothing.

Are you crying?

No.

What did he

do to you?

Who? Alex?

Nothing... I'm going over

there in a little while.

Well, then why are

you crying now?

It's a long story...

I met this guy.

What?

Where? When?

Wait, what?

On the phone.

He's one of the

people I called...

this really nice guy,

Kyle, he's an EMT and

I don't know, we just

totally connected.

We've been

talking all day.

Oh my God, this is

very romantical.

Yeah well, don't

get too excited.

First of all, he lives in

New York and second of all,

I just totally

blew it with him.

What happened?

He was on the phone

when Alex called.

Ooh...

Yeah, and he heard me totally

wimp out and not stick up

for myself and now he thinks

I'm a psycho b*tch

with low self-esteem.

I'm sure he doesn't,

call him back.

I can't.

Why? Why not?

If he's as great

as you say he is,

then he'll totally

give you another chance.

I don't know, maybe.

Look, call him back.

At this point, what have

you got to lose, right?

Do it, call him.

Do it now.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, call me later.

Alright,

love you, bye.

Hey, it's Kyle,

um, yeah...

Hey, it's Kyle,

um, yeah...

Hello?

Kyle, are you there?

Kyle?

Hello?

Hi, this is Peter Rawlins

from the Tyra Banks Show.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

May I please speak to

Amanda Feeny please?

This is Amanda.

Hi Amanda.

Listen, Tyra is doing an

episode on office romances

and we got your name

from an Alex Santiago?

Yeah, I work with Alex.

Oh, well Alex says that you two

are having a relationship

and we wanted to fly you

both out to New York City

for a taping

of the show.

Oh my God.

Seriously?

Yes, that's right.

We'll be flying you both

first class courtesy of

American Airlines and

you'll be staying in

hotel accommodations courtesy

of the Hyatt-Regency.

Oh my God.

This is so cool!

Now before we book you, we do

have to verify a few things.

First off, Alex says you two are

having an interoffice romance.

Is that correct?

Yeah, we are.

Great.

Now, do any of your coworkers

know about the relationship?

No.

Oh, well, Rob does.

That's Alex's boss.

I'm kind of hooking

up with him, too.

Mmm, great.

That sounds fabulous.

Now do either you or Alex

have any relationships

outside of the office?

No.

Alex isn't

seeing anyone?

No.

Are you sure?

Um, Alex says he

has a girlfriend.

Who? That Erica chick?

No, they're not serious.

Okay. Are you sure?

Alex says he, uh, he's in

love with this Erica girl.

No, he's not.

He said she was like a

once in a while hook up

and then she got clingy

so he dumped the b*tch.

Okay, that's

all we need.

So am I going to New York?

Yeah, yeah.

I know you're gonna be

the star of the show.

In fact, Tyra is going to

personally pick you up at

the airport and drive you

in her limo to the studio.

Shut up!

Yeah, so can you be at

LAX tomorrow at 5:00 AM?

Totally.

Fabulous.

Well, I guess

you were right.

I'm really sorry.

I just thought you'd

want to know the truth.

How'd you get

her info anyway?

Facebook mostly.

Of course.

Erica, I'm,

I'm truly sorry.

I didn't mean to -

I know, I know...

I know.

So what are

you gonna do?

Something I should have

done a long time ago.

Good luck.

Thanks, thanks.

Hey babe.

Uh, where are you?

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Dumping your ass.

What? Whoa!

Whoa, whoa!

Now let's not get all

excited, baby girl.

Tell me what

the problem is.

The problem is I deserve

better than you, Alex.

Yeah, well,

good luck with that.

Screw you.

Screw me?

Erica look, you are a

customer service rep, okay?

And let's face it, you are

not getting any younger,

so if you think that you

can do better than me,

well, you need a serious

reality check.

I know I can do

better than you

and I think I've

already found him.

Do you know what you're

doing right now, huh?

Yeah, yeah...

I'm taking a chance.

Okay, uh,

whatever...

Goodbye Alex.

Babe, baby, baby.

Oh, and by the way,

your friend, Amanda,
