my business is going under.

Because.. he, he, he's used his all his merch.

That's merchandise.

Maybe you should do something about it?

Huh?

He's never coming to my party again.

- Never.

- Pather's so.. fat.

- Uh, at worst.

- That was like he was going to lose his grip.

You want something?

- Seeing anything you want?

- No, thank you.

But I saw some people who were dressed good.

- Excuse me?

- Oh.. yes, I'm sorry?

Is he famous?

I'm not sure.. Extraterrestrials?

- Haven't seen that.

- Neither have I.

How'd you know who he was then?

Osmosis.

Would you like to see something?

Yeah..

Those, uh..

.. gray ones and those black ones.

Okay.

How does it work? Is it one size fits all or..?

They come in different sizes,

but mostly they'll fit anybody.

Unless.. you know.

She's..

Big.

I don't know. What do you think?

Well, it depends on the dress.

What color is the dress?

Um..

I'll just..

I'll just take the gray ones.

Safe.

Safe?

Why, do you think the black?

I like the black.

Okay. I'll take the black.

Okay.

$145.

I'll just put it in there.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Okay.. Chet!

What?

Hey!

You know what I've been thinking?

I have no idea.

Well, how could you.

I'm doing the thinking, always.. Listen!

Chet. Who hangs out with

rock musicians on the road?

- Who?

- Other rock musicians.

And?

If you had someone on the road..

.. with the band, you know,

one of the bands that uses our stuff..

.. with someone, who looks real sharp, you know..

.. someone who is musicians-related..

.. then you could sell a lot of stuff that way.

And do you have someone in mind?

Yeah.

Me.

Think about it.

Okay. Smell.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

DINNER WITH YOU...

- Arigato!

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato..

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

Did you get my package?

I always seem to be

sneaking up on you but I'm not.

Right, I was.. distracted by..

global commerce.

So.

Did you get my package?

Uhh, yes. Thank you.

And?

Who are you?

Good point.

I'm Ray Porter, hi.

- How are you?

- Hi.

Look, I know you can't be seen

chatting up customers, so..

.. why don't you just

meet me on Friday, for dinner..

.. at 8 o' clock?

While Ray Porter explains his

presumption and getting her address..

.. and sending her the gloves..

.. Mirabelle sighes him up

and no alarm bell sounds.

She asks him several questions and

gets a particular kind of checklist..

.. for a man over 50.

Divorced, two houses, one in L.A. and

one in computer-oriented Seattle..

.. which is source of his wealth.

What time?

But the one question she does not ask him..

.. which is foremost in her mind is..

.. "why me?".

Hey!

Hi.

Mind if I join you?

We see each other but we

don't know each other.

- I'm Lisa.

- Mirabelle.

You ever have men ask you out of the store?

Daily.

And do you ever go out with them?

Depends.

Somebody asked you out?

You want some advice?

You never call him.

But if he calls you you talk to him..

.. then act like you have another call.

Keep him on for a long time.

Like the longer than you think it is possible.

And break dates.

Always break dates.

Right there on the holidays,

and then he is just stuck.

And fellatio.

The sooner the better.

And a lot.

Act like you love it.

After he's addicted cut him off.

That's when you got him.

Yeah, I couldn't do all that.

How come?

I'm from Vermount.

Oouch.. Fudge!

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Can I come in?

- Yeah, please.

- I think I can see your apartment from my house.

- Really?

Yes, because I live near the observatory and I

can see the observatory from your steps.

- Well, do you want to go or stay or..

- Um, well..

- Do you want to sit down?

- Yes. Great, thanks.

Oww!

Do you want something to drink?

Pardon me?

Drink?

- Uh, yeah. What do you have?

White wine?

That's great.

It's nice.. nice, uhh, neighbourhood.

Yeah, I really like it.

Thank you.

Should we go?

Yeah.

Yeah. Let's go.

Wow.

You know.

- That's, uhh. foot-ton, right?

- Yeah.

You'll like the Cha-cha-cha, it's fun.

So.

You know what you're gonna have?

Yeah, I always get the jag chicken.

Is that an order or a command?

Okay, so we need some, uhh.. date questions.

So let's see.

Where does your family live?

Vermount.

Good relationship with your father? I hope?

Well.

My dad doesn't speak very much.

After Vietnam.

Okay.

Be honest. Maybe. If this were a TV dating show..

.. would I be kicked off already

and you'd be on to the next guy?

You'd still be on the show.

Good.

I like your watch.

Thank you.

It's a pretty Timex.

Yeah, but I'm out of date questions and..

.. I'm on to date comments.

Now I'm your watch.

Very nice.

- Was I boring?

- No. Was I?

A little bit.

Well, okay.

I don't think you should come in.

I'm not asking to.

- Meaning..?

Meaning..

I'll see you again?

Oh.

Okay.

I'll be out of town about a week.

But would you like to have dinner on Friday?

We could eat at my place.

Okay.

- Hey, man, you saved our ass tonight.

- Oh, no sweat.

- What was that in?

- This is Holy Dog, it's the amp comp.

You know, it's one of those tiny bands.

I'm going to see you on the bus, man.

You want some dawg?

Oh, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to just say no.

Good answer.

I'm into athletics.

Whatever. You wanna route us? Ride with us.

What?

We've got an extra bunk. Come on.

- Ride with you?

- Come on. We're leaving tomorrow morning.

Yeah? Great. All right.

- Let me get my gear and

I've got to deal with some things but..

- Come on!

- All right.

Hello.

Meaning, now?

It's too late.

It is for me, I have to get up.

Come over.

I can't.

Come on.

No.

Oh, come on, I'm leaving town

for a couple of months.

I can't.

Why not?

Because I'm seeing someone.

You have a nice house.

Do you think it's too done?

- No. It's nice.

- I didn't do it, it was like this when I bought it.

Do you want to sit down?

Or do you want to go outside?

-Okay!

-Do you want some wine?

Later.

Okay, yeah.

Okay, there's the termite sign.

And then, there's the mall. Yes!

I can see your building but not your apartment.

Take a look.

See the blue sign?

Yeah.

And right below that Silverlake boulevard.

- And just go over.

- Oh yeah!

See?

- You all right?

- Yes.

Aperture?

There's a dealer who takes my drawings..

.. and he sells them occasionally.

How often do you do it?

About every six months.

Why so few?

I don't know. Really.

You sure you don't want some wine?

I'm sure.

Thank you.

You wanna see the rest of the house?

Let's go.

Let's see. You've got all

three types of recycle bins.

And the whole, uhh..

battery, all the closets.

This, just.. You see,

you just put things over.

A garage.

Bedroom.

Nice view.

Let me turn off the phones.

All right, okay.

- All right, here's where you sleep.

- Okay, cool.

All right.

Here's your headphones.

Go to sleep with the music.

Come on, we're gonna make mohitos.

What's mohito?

Fancy drink.

All right.
