we are all set.

Ooh I am gonna grab a couple of

these.

This is a great night for you.

Congrats.

I think I am going to buy one of

these pictures. Portraits.

I don't want you to buy one of

these paintings.

No I would like to.

Okay if you - whatever - if you

see a painting and you like it,

great.

Is that a problem?

I don't want you to buy one to

be nice.

Why not?

'Cause that's insulting.

What?

Nothing. You know what, you've

got a lot of people you need to

talk to tonight

so I think that I am gonna go.

No Andrew I want to know.

If you're angry you can tell me.

I know, I know.

No, you know it was my bad. It

was my bad so, uh, this is your

night,

you know actually no, it is my

bad, that was my bad.

I'll stop by your office

tomorrow afternoon, okay?

We can get lunch or something.

I can't I start jury duty

tomorrow.

That's right.

Sorry.

Hey.

Hey. Uh, Peter.

Yeah. Hello Vandy.

How's it going?

Umm, not so bad.

Good to hear. Alright well, it

was good seeing ya.

You still on that case?

Almost done.

Awesome. Listen Vandy, this is

going to sound a little out of

nowhere but uh,

Before you say anything I should

tell you I'm dating someone.

Okay. I wasn't going to ask you

out on a date.

Oh.

But you're not that far off

base. I told you this was out of

nowhere, we only met once,

but I have something for you.

Oh?

It's not like it's a body part

or something, okay, I'm not a

stalker or a.

And I realize that you're dating

someone, that's fine, but you'll

see it's really nothing.

Here it is. It's the crossword

puzzle from two days ago.

I was doing it and there was

this clue "Southern university

for short,"

and the answer was Vandy. Short

for Vanderbilt.

I actually finished that puzzle

and Vandy was one of the last

ones I filled out

and I was like, 'Hey!' And truth

be told you'd run through my

mind more than a few times

since that day I met you and uh,

and then the puzzle so I took a

chance.

I thought you said you finished

it.

Yeah. I, well I picked up a new

one at the deli.

That way you can just fill out

Vandy, or the whole thing, or

leave it blank,

or crumple it up and put it in

the garbage like you're probably

going to.

It was just a random thing. I

thought of you when I saw it

and I understand that you're.

I'm sorry.

No there's no need to apologize.

This is. Thank you.

Well uh, I, I should go.

No, yeah, yeah of course.

Giving up that easily?

Do you like Indian food?

Yeah.

Okay do you know that street

with all the Indian restaurants

on it?

Curry Row?

Yes. Curry Row. Would you like

to go to one of those places

with me?

Which one?

Hi.

Hi.

Did you design this?

Uh yeah, it was actually my idea

to make the whole thing entirely

out of glass.

Oh cool.

No I'm kidding I just make the

models. No I hate those glass

pieces of sh*t.

Really?

Yeah. But that's all they make

so, they're everywhere.

Yeah, no I can't stand the sight

of them.

I'm Michelle.

Hi Michelle.

So you really enjoy working

here.

I do actually. I'm kidding. No

I'm actually interviewing but

don't say anything.

Oh I won't. I just started

here.

Oh yeah?

Do you know of any good places

to eat around here?

I was looking for like a really

good BBQ place.

Oh well I don't know of a lot of

really good BBQ places around

here,

but there's a great barbeque

place that's not so far away.

Are you making fun of me?

You're lucky you're funny.

Thank you I uh, I like making

people LOL.

Oh my god, whatever.

Let me, let me help you with

those.

I seriously think I got it.

No no I can take them. I'll just

take them to the files.

I've got it really.

Just give me some of the files.

Alright, four whiskies.
