Is that how you feel?

Because sometimes...

Sometimes I just feel invisible.

And I heard someone say something recently, that it just

takes one person... You know?

Just one person to make you feel like you belong, to make you feel special.

And I think that that's true.

I know that that's true because, because I felt it.

The other night I was out with this guy that I work with and...

... work at the zoo and...

And anyway, it was only for one night...

But it, just felt different, you know?

And now it's complicated.

Tim?

A pretty good RomCom, I must say.

- Hey, guys. This is Tim.

- Nice to finally meet you.

I think we can move it here, a little to the left

to give them more room to eat.

- And maybe bring up some enrichment here.

-I can see that. Right over there.

Alright, Janice. Thank you.

- Now this whole thing. Everything we're gonna do here, it's, we're gonna open up the whole space.

- Yeah.

- And we're gonna have this extra little habitat area, right over there.

- Yeah.

Jill, you guys should come downtown and meet us.

No, we're gonna see a play later.

Actually, I'm looking for Tim right now.

There he is. Let me know.

Flag on the play!

Now, if you think about it.

A conversation is a little bit like a football game, isn't it?

You got one, two, three, four quarters.

If you are really lucky, what do you get?

What do you get if we're really lucky?

You get overtime. Right?

In order get to overtime, you can't blow off

all your fun stuff, all your trick plays in the first quarter, can you?

You gotta wait for half-time, or, as I like to call it, end of dinner.

Just as stuff gets a little stale, a little boring. Bang!

You pull out your best joke.

Or even better, a little story.

Doesn't matter if it's not true. Make it up. Lie. Doesn't matter.

The entire point is you gotta get to overtime,

because that's where all the fun's gonna happens.

This guy knows what I'm talking about, right?

"Touchdown!"
