Okay. Want some food,

Wolf it down.

That's it, that's all you get.

There she is, there she is.

Okay, all right, Lexi,

Hi.

How are you?

Hi. I'm sorry,

do we know each other?

Oh, Seth.

West brook high.

- Oh. Were you in my class?

- Oh, I was in the year above you.

We didn't hang out or anything,

but I knew who you were.

You did?

Sure, everybody did.

I don't know about that.

So you're a writer now, huh?

That's cool.

That's great.

Yeah. This whole

waitressing uniform,

it's just a disguise.

It's convincing.

I was gonna order

an ice cream sundae.

- Extra sprinkles.

- You wouldn't be the first.

- This is my stop.

- Oh, this is you?

It was nice to see you again.

Nice to see you too. Hey, if

you're not doing anything...

get a coffee.

Hmm.

We're looking at your numbers...

Hey.

There he is.

There's the man.

- Nate, let me ask you a question.

- Hmm?

If there was this girl and you

wanted her to notice you...

Are you serious right now?

Yeah.

Sh*t, man, i don't know you.

I don't know what kind of game you got.

What are you asking me?

Sorry.

I thought maybe...

Listen, wait...

You like this girl?

- We are talking about a girl here right?

- Yes, girl.

I do like her.

So just confident, you know?

Guy who's confident. Knows

how to make them laugh.

Tell 'em about your day.

Act like you give a sh*t.

I mean, it ain't a mystery.

Confident, funny,

make 'em laugh.

Got it. Good.

Thanks.

Hey, and no more bringing

this sh*t to me, all right?

You and me, we ain't like that.

Cool.

Seth, Dr. Jessup needs

your help.

He's putting down

the German Shepherd in 34.

Lexi.

Look, you're a sweet guy.

But if you can't do your job,

I'll find someone who can.

- Is that clear?

- She's a really good dog.

Hey, Lexi. Hey.

Here's the thing, we just...

hey, girl.

Hey, Lexi. Hey.

How's it going?

Wanna go for a walk?

Hey, hey, hey.

Good girl. Yeah, it's

exciting, isn't it?

All right, Lexi.

Here we go.

All right, that's a good dog.

Yeah, that's a good dog.

- You all right?

- Yeah, she's just a good dog.

Shh, it's okay, Lexi.

It's all right.

You want her,

you can always keep her.

My building doesn't allow pets.

Very strict.

F***ing find a new place.

$9.00 an hour? I'm lucky

I have running water.

That's your whole problem.

You got no initiative.

It's how come you're still working in

a sh*t hole like this at your age.

You want something in this life,

you gotta take it.

So what's it gonna be?

I mean, you want her,

she's yours.

Do it, do it already.

All right, Lexi.

Here we go.

You're a good dog.

Hold still.

You're a good dog.

Hey, Holly, hey.

What time do you get lunch?

What time do you get lunch?

I get lunch at 1:00.

Hey, hey, hi.

Hey...

Hey, remember me?

That's right.

Uh, well, i guess table

for one while I'm here,

but really I was just wondering

if you wanted to get

maybe dinner later.

I don't know about you,

but I love seafood.

Oh, you do?

Yeah, that's all I eat.

Seafood, seafood...

There's a, uh...

there's a place on...

called the crab joint.

Oh, you know it?

Yeah, we could... tonight?

It's...

Hey, Holly.

How's it going?

Hey...

- Hi. Anywhere?

- Yeah, anywhere is fine.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey, how are you?

I'm Holly.

I'll be taking care

of you today.

You must be a writer.

- I'm sorry?

- A writer.

The disguise from the bus.

We met a couple

of days ago on the bus.

- My name's Seth.

- I'm so sorry.

My memory, it like

totally sucks.

I know, just what you want to

hear from your waiter, right?

No, that's fine.

Uh, can I get you started with anything?

An appetizer?

Yeah, um...

Let's uh...

let's do water.

And then by the time

you come back, I'll know.

Water. Una agua.

You got it.

Hey, um, i like your hair.

It looks different from the bus.

- It's nice.

- Thank you.

Yeah. You shouldn't feel

insecure about it

or self conscious, it's...

is a good haircut.

Uh. Why don't you

take a look at the menu

and I will go grab your water.

Yeah. Pie.

Apple pie.

How's it going over here?

- Seth.

- What's that?

Seth.

My name is Seth.

How's the food, Seth?

It's good.

It's quality.

Actually, I had

a question for you.

Do you like Ben folds?

'Cause I have a couple of tickets

to his concert this week

and the girl

i was gonna go with...

not a girlfriend or anything...

she can't make it,

she has a thing.

I was wondering

if maybe you'd wanna...

- Go?

- I'm sorry, I can't.

I don't like going

to shows by myself,

it feels kind of strange,

you know, so maybe...

Not a big deal, no pressure.

We could just go. It wouldn't

have to be a date or anything.

The thing is, I already

sort of have a boyfriend, so...

No, you don't.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Thanks for coming in.

Hang on a second.

But, like, when they do speak,

you know you're in trouble.

Hey.

- There's a guy out there.

- Ooh, is he hot?

I'm serious, Claire.

Don't get paranoid on me, hol.

You're no fun

when you're paranoid.

- Never mind.

Ten bucks says it's him.

- Yes, Eric.

- Hey, babe.

What do you want? Jesus,

what's with the attitude?

I just wanted to talk.

I've been thinking about you.

Is he drunk and weepy again?

A little bit.

- Who are you talking to?

- You with someone?

Don't get paranoid on me, Eric.

You're no fun

when you're paranoid.

So the other night with Eric?

Really? Are we gonna

go there again?

He was two years, you can't

convince me he never mattered.

I'm serious, though, hol.

Being alone

is just kinda shitty.

So, what, I'm just supposed

to forget everything he did?

Yes. Forget, forgive.

Move the f*** on already.

Just go back to the way

things were.

You know i can't do that.

To us.

Hey, Sam.

- Someone's popular.

- What?

We put it in the break room.

Okay...

Lucky, b*tch.

Spill. Who's the guy?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Listen, I'm so sorry for the

drunk dial the other night.

I mean, you know how it is.

Yeah, I do.

Listen, can I get you

a beer or something?

Eric, you have to stop

doing stuff like this.

Stuff like...

What now?

Come on. Roses? You know

they're my favorite.

I didn't know that.

Okay. Well,

now I just feel stupid.

- Well... just one beer.

- I should go.

It wasn't all bad, right?

We had some good times.

Yep.

So why don't we

give it another shot?

Are you really gonna

make me say her name?

This is so f***ing stupid.

I mean, we had something.

Had.

Eric, past tense.

I'm gonna get some air.

Nice night.

- Yeah.

- Yep.

- Not a smoker?

- Me? No.

That's good.

Don't ever start,

it's a terrible habit.
