BROOKS *

I supposed we’re both capable of *

impressing each other, once a *

decade or so. *

They sit in not-unfriendly silence. *

MIRA *

You know what? This morning, I woke *

up in jail because I was broken up *

over a guy who fixes teeth for a *

living. Now, I’m watching one of my *

favorite movies, I have a new *

patient, I just delivered a baby *

into this world, and-*

(extra proudly) *

I barely ate anything today. This *

is working. This is progress. *

BROOKS:

Connect four. *

MIRA:

You had to mess it up, didn’t you.

Mira knocks over the game and leaves the room. Brooks looks

off a her:
what a weirdo. *

INT. MIRA’S APARTMENT - LATE THAT SAME NIGHT *

Mira’s in pajamas, talking on the phone in her living room. *

GWEN (O.S.) *

So you stood up your rich, not *

bald, not-fat, not-depressed, not-*

married blind date I set you up *

with. *

MIRA *

I did not stand him up. I just had *

to leave before dinner came. *

We hear Mira’s buzzer. *

GWEN (O.S.) *

Who is that? It’s 2am. *

MIRA *

Delivery. *

(then) *

Besides, I’m not even sure he *

really does do Beyonce’s finances. *

Wouldn’t he have led with that? I *

feel like maybe he was a murderer. *

Untitled Mindy Kaling Show Pilot 1/9/12 391/9/12 39.

GWEN (O.S.) *

I’m never setting you up again. *

MIRA *

(with love) *

Yes you are, Gwenny. Because I’m *

changing, I can really feel it. *

Tomorrow will be different. *

The door opens. It’s Jeremy. He smiles and comes inside and *

starts taking off his clothes. *

MIRA (CONT’D) *

(a little guilty) *

And if not tomorrow, the day after. *

I swear. *

She hangs up the phone. She smiles. *
