This is Nick. I'm not here

to take your call right now,

but if you tell this machine who

you are and how to reach you,

I promise to call you back.

Hi.

This is Kate Mosley.

We met at Susan

and Sajit's wedding.

I'm the girl who caught-

No. Wait.

I was actually handed

the bouquet, remember?

Anyway, I got

your number from Susan,

and I was wondering if I could

buy you a cup of coffee.

You name the place.

I'll come to you.

I'd appreciate it if you'd

call me back either way.

Bye.

Hey, how are you?

Good job.

That was

really wonderful.

Great job.

Thank you very much.

Hi.

Hi.

Wow! They really love you

around here, huh?

Oh, yeah.

My public thing.

Uh-huh.

Thank you.

Thanks, Lois.

Um...

I've done a really-

I've done a really horrible thing.

Wha-you know,

I find that hard to believe.

Well, um...

See, a friend of mine

found a picture

of the two of us

from the wedding, you know,

and basically led a lot

of people to believe

that you and I

were basically...

What?

Uh, engaged,

actually.

Yeah. And, uh, I didn't

really do or say much

to let them

think otherwise.

What do you

think so far?

Uh... so far?

Uh, I-I'm flattered,

I think.

Okay, well, see, it was going well,

for a while, you know,

and, uh, then you went

and you got famous on me.

I'd, uh...

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Wow. This is-

This is just so embarrassing

and humiliating.

What, uh, what did

you come here to ask me?

All right.

All right,

it's a proposition, actually.

I will pay you $ 1,000

if you will come to New York City

and have dinner with me

and some people that I work with.

I'll buy you

a plane ticket,

I'll buy you a suit

if you need one.

I don't want you

to feel like a thing.

I mean, think of it as,

like, a paid vacation.

You can stay with me.

You know, you can't

work with that cast, right? And...

Okay, so this

is the plan.

Two-thirds of the way through the

dinner, you would pick a fight with me.

And we would have,

like, a quarrel, right?

And everybody would

watch us break up.

You would never

have to see me again.

And, you know,

there it is.

Wow. That really

sounds like something

right out of The Patty Duke Show,

doesn't it? Ha ha.

Oh.

You want to pay me

to have dinner with you?

Yeah.

Uh...

I, uh...

I don't, you know,

I don't want your money.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's...

That's a no, right?

See, the thing is,

I was, uh, thinking

of coming to New York, you know...

and, uh, you know, I was gonna

get your number from Susan

and, uh, ask you if you wanted

to have dinner with me.

So, yes. You, uh... Figure out

what night is best for you

because I'm pretty

flexible, you know?

So if you want to bring a friend

or people you work with,

that's up to you,

and it's good we ran into

each other again like this.

So think about what I said, and I'll

give you a call tomorrow. Okay?

Oh, uh, by the way...

I do own a suit.

Of course you do.

And when I get that feeling

See you.

Tony, I'll see

you tonight.

I can no longer run

I don't know

And when I get that feeling

Ma, your color

looks so beautiful.

Never mind that.

What I don't

understand is...

He can come all

the way to New York

just to meet the people

you work with,

but he can't

find an hour

to visit with his

future mother-in-law.

Mom, he's busy, okay?

He's really busy.

It's just gonna have to be

another trip, you know, another time.

Are you lying to me?

I embarrass you.

Oh, Mom...

Is that it?

Mom, no, no.

In fact,

you know what?

I'm afraid he's

gonna come here,

take one look at you,

and say to himself,

"What the hell am I doing

marrying the junior version

when the real thing

is still available? '

I don't believe

a word of that,

but I appreciate

the effort.

But he won't.

The key here that

you're missing is

that the only mustard

he uses is Gulden's.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

Hi. Uh, yeah, okay,

so will you call-

I got to go, but will you

call me when you find him?

Thank you very much.

Ha! Hey!

Hi!

Hi! You're here.

I'm supposed to meet you

at my apartment two hours from now.

Yeah. I got

an earlier bus.

Oh, did you?

Oh... oh.

Yeah. It's good

to see you-

I'm sorry, I didn't know we

were on the clock yet.

Okay, just grab my ass, kiss my neck,

and pull me into the office, okay?

Y- uh, y-yeah.

Yes, sir.

Whoo!

Ha ha ha!

Je-sus!

What is the world

coming to?

Okay, so what I told people

is that we met in college,

but we were

just friends

and that we re-met at this

reunion thing, like, 5 years later.

It was sort of like,

I don't know, that's when the fire

really got ignited, you know?

I kind of like that.

We meet. We meet again.

That makes it more,

I don't know... believable.

I wouldn't know.

You went to college,

right?

Yeah. Several.

Hmm.

Well, if anybody asks, just say

you went to Boston University,

because that's where

I went, and everybody knows that.

Maybe we should

say business.

I majored

in business.

I mean, I told everybody you own

your own business,

you know,

the video thing,

but I kind of fudged

about the wedding part.

Maybe we should just let them

think it's music videos.

It's more glamorous

and all that sort of stuff, anyway.

Oh, you don't mind

that, do you?

Actually, you know,

I do mind, 'cause-

Oh! And I had

really long hair.

In college I had

really long hair.

And I was about 20

or so pounds heavier.

But that's good.

That'll be good. You know why?

Because you can say

it was the weight thing

that kind of turned

your head around.

That'll be good.

Okay, now, this is

the bathroom,

and I'll get you

some towels and stuff,

and I'll let you know

which is yours.

And then this

is the couch.

This is where

you'll be sleeping.

And I'll get you

some comfy pillows

and some blankets

and sort of, you know-

it should be nice-

Oop, sorry.

Just a minute.

Hello?

Can you, uh,

hold on a second?

Uh, Nick,

I'll be right back.

Ha! I cannot believe

you are saying that.

Okay, all right.

Look, I'll do it. Okay?

But I cannot stay long.

All right?

Okay. Bye.

Is everything okay?

Um, yeah, I, uh-

Something just came up at work.

I've got to meet a colleague

for a drink, but I shouldn't be long.

Hey!

Is this your mother?

Uh, I don't know

what you're looking at.

How about this picture

of a beautiful woman

that looks just like you

but older.

Is that your mother?

Ha ha ha!

Yes.

That would be Mom.

She's pretty.

Whoo! Wow.

Thanks.

Okay, well, I shouldn't

be long, Nick.

An hour, tops.

Uh, I mean

I wouldn't even go,

I mean, I know it's your first night

in a strange city.

He just sounded

so panicked.

He?

Oh! I have

something for you.

Oh.

If you could look at this

while I'm gone,

that would be great.

Yeah. What is it?

Well, it's sort of

a study guide, actually.

It's, you know,

our life together.

My hobbies,

my ex-boyfriends,

uh, what happened to me

during the 5 years we were apart,
