Slightly Single in L.A. Page #5

Why?

Why don't you just go for him?

Because Seven I'm done having

meaningless relationships

with these loser LA guys and on

and on and on...

Whoa... is a loser LA guy?

No he's... no he's not

but anyhow I'm not his type,

especially now that Hallie's

all over him.

You are so wrong.

You are so wrong.

It doesn't matter because hey I'm going

to go out on a date with Haden.

Whoa whoa, whoa

But just as friends.

You're going out with Haden?

The fake seeking personal trainer whose

only using you to get ahead

in this desperate city.

Oh sh*t Seven that's harsh.

He just wants to schmooze you

so you'll listen to his stupid

reality show concept.

He's only interested in seeing

what you can do for him

and his career because you have a career

The only reason Hallie is into Zach

is because you gave her the Ok to pursue

I never said pursue.

She asked me if we had ever hooked up

and I said no...

Look I never said this to you before

but you are going to regret this...

trust me.

I mean you're afraid

of a real relationship Dale.

Why does everyone keep saying that?

I am not scared of relationships

But you're scared of something.

Let's just forget about it.

Ok...

Sorry.

No it's Ok I just wasn't expecting that.

Was it weird seeing Dale?

Yeah, yeah it was weird.

I felt like I sensed something

between you guys.

Yeah, yeah I think maybe you did.

Dale and I are really tight.

You know and as I told you before Hallie

I'm just not that interested

in a relationship right now

and I wouldn't want anyone

to get the wrong impression

about what's going on here.

She's the one that told me

to pursue you just so you know.

She told you that?

Yeah you sound surprised.

She said you guys were just friends

that you've never hooked up

and that she isn't your type.

Not my type.

So are we cool?

Yeah, yeah we're cool but I just...

I don't think this is a

very good idea right now OK?

This isn't a good idea?

OK I'm just...

Not that into this right now.

You're not into this?

No.

Are you into this?

Hey!

Hey, Hayden.

Hey, you understand that?

Hey, Hayden?

Oh.

Oh! It's...

It's really, really nice to you.

So this is a great restaurant.

It's got lots of health

conscious options.

Great.

Cause you know uh...

I take care of myself.

As you can see.

I... I did notice your pecs just now.

Oh.

Hey!

Are you flexing?

Gwyneth Paltrow eats here.

Really.

We need options for something low

carb low fat, low sodium, high protein.

Which is better, the bacon cheeseburger

or the other?

Is it wild caught or farm raised?

Do you have chicken fingers?

Organic, vegan, non soy, gluten free...

Do you recommend

the mac and cheese?

Can you steam that instead of grilling

I don't want any crudamites in my food.

I'll have the crab cakes

with butter sauce. Extra butter.

Are these Swedish meatballs kosher?

You're right, but people really

are vain here.

I mean, I'm not.

I'm self aware which is like

radically different.

And it's self conscious.

Conscious of self.

Right. I mean, yeah, yeah.

I'm self conscious.

Which is a good thing, I think.

What do you think?

Well, I mean, I think it's really good.

I'm all about my work.

And my body is my work.

So... one might say that...

yeah, I'm all about my body.

But in some respects, that is true, but

you're completely missing the point.

And the point is...

I completely missed my point.

Ok, rewind, reset. Uh, look.

I've... got a great vibe

between you and me.

Great energy there.

So, yeah. Ok.

I get it.

So let's lay the facts down.

You want to be with me, and vice versa.

That much is clear.

But my work always comes first.

I need to lay that...

down right off the bat.

Basically, my body comes before you.

He seems perfect.

Good looking, somewhat single minded,

somewhat vain... and not too bright.

No promise of a great romance.

No chance of falling...

too hard for this guy.

No risk of getting hurt.

But is this right for me?

I'm kind of sensing a pattern here.

You've got this great, beautiful chest

on you with great definition.

You probably bench press quite a bit.

Is Seven right about me?

I hate for Seven to be right

because he's always right about

that kind of stuff.

I mean, seriously

I don't think that's jerky...

I need a sign.

Is this right for me?

I got this great idea.

I know you're gonna love it.

Fitness fanatics.

It's my reality TV show.

Check please.

Separate checks?

Yeah.

Hi.

Ready, Freddy?

We're walking, right?

You don't want to drive?

You guys, it's two blocks.

They have valet parking, you know.

So where's Hallie this morning?

I don't know.

I saw her on Tuesday, and I haven't

seen her for the rest of the week.

You know that she changed her...

status to it's complicated?

What does that mean?

It's... complicated?

With who?

Oh, my gosh, you guys.

The yoga instructor just smiled at me.

He has the cutest... dimples.

Shh.

Ok... he's telling us to shut up.

His smile is just his state of zen.

Oh, God.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Do you guys really do this all the time?

Yeah.

I have to. I'm older than you.

I get fatter quicker.

Sorry I'm late. I just got your message.

You're late.

Hey.

Hi.

What's going on?

You guys look so serious.

I was just telling Dale about my wedding

Um, Drew still hasn't picked a tux yet.

Or groomsmen for that matter.

Well, you know we're guys.

We take a little bit longer

with that stuff.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta go.

I have a hair appointment at 2:00

and then a couple jewelry

design appointments.

Oh, that's so fetch. Congrats, girl.

Thanks, girl.

So I'll call you later.

Hey, do you mind...

uh, driving me home?

No yoga?

No. We missed it.

Um, yeah. I guess.

Ok, when did that start

and did you know?

Well, I mean, I kind of guessed, but...

Does she know about... you two?

What's there to know?

Hallie should know better. Seriously.

Anybody that knows you would know

that you are so hot for him.

Becca, I'm not so hot for him.

No. He's your friend.

And it is so typical of Hallie.

She's a fame whore.

No, she's not. It's...

Damn it. She is a fame whore.

No, she's not. Oh, God!

Hallie, it's just frustrating.

It's so much right now.

She doesn't deserve that.

Hallie was there for me

when I had that swine flu.

Every time I've broken up

with a quasi boyfriend.

And I don't know what I would've done

about that stalker

if it wasn't for Hallie.

I need something to take my mind...

off all this.

Dale, I don't know what

I would do without you.

Oh, come on.

That's what friends are for.

Oh, honey. Do you like that setting?

Yeah, no, I do. It's nice.

You didn't even look.

No. I did. I'm looking.

Yeah. I love it. It's...

What do you think, Dale?

- Ooh, that's beautiful.

- Yeah?

Ok, I gotta go. I've gotta go.

Wait, what?

I've gotta go. I've gotta go.

I'm 20 minutes late for a meeting.

Oh, look, that's... great.

That one's my favorite.

I love you!

I love you... so much. I love you.
