I -- do you know where Mindy went?

Oh, she felt better,

and she went to meet you.

Oh, their signals got crossed.

Okay, maybe...

i'll go back to her place.

Maybe she went back to her place?

- You just call her.

- Yeah.

My phone is kind of on the fritz.

Do you have her number by any chance?

Nothing!

Come in. Call from here.

I have to go take care of the mess

in the kitchen.

Just call her.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Um, okay.

Could you do me a huge favor?

Maybe just give me Mindys

phone number one more time, 'cause...

Oh! Look at that.

Mindy's phone.

You do me the favor.

You go and take it back to her.

This is mindy's phone?

Yes, of course it's mindy's phone.

What do you think?

Well, you are so confused.

Mindy!

Damn it.

Hey! Break it up.

Hey! Why did you do that?

Guys.

No candy.

Mindy.

Come on.

Fred!

God, Mindy.

What are you doing out here?

I went to your parents' place.

They didn't know where the hell you went.

Oh, i told my sister to tell

you to let yourself in with

the spare key.

What?

- Yeah.

- Oh, god.

You... i mean, are you... okay?

Are you feeling...

so much better.

I hate belly dancers.

- Yeah? Everything's...?

- All good.

My mom's tea brought me back to life.

Good.

How are you?

You look frazzled.

I... i feel a little...

i was just...i was worried about you.

I could not find you,

which was very, you know, nerve-racking.

But, uh, your phone...

you found my phone!

I keep losing my phone.

Where did you find this?

It was at your parents'.

I had no way to know where you were.

You got to be more,

you know, cautious.

i mean, if i need to contact you,

or anyone needs to contact you.

Well, i have been craving

chicken parm and angel hair

with pomodoro basilico.

Can you stay for dinner?

I would love to.

I've never made this before.

All right.

Work emergency,

going to be a few hours

In there?

Mm-hmm. All right.

I got it.

Try it.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Oh!

Before we go on, cheers first.

An eventful, amazing,

slightly traumatic,

wonderful day.

Hand me a match.

Okay. Here you go.

Wait a minute.

Not that match. Any other match.

Any other. Come on.

All right. See the match?

- All right?

- All right?

Keep your eyes on the match. Ready?

1, 2, 3.

No!

Where did it go? Ready?

1, 2, 3.

Whoa!

I've got to say...

your family is inspiring.

Well, thank you, i think.

Based on my travels with you

today and my travails, i think,

i have enough material to plug

a lot of holes in my novel,

so thank you for that.

Well, i would love to take a look at it.

When it's ready, of course.

That would be... that would, um...

i mean, i-i-i do... i have,

you know, a few chapters done.

I am kind of looking

for a female perspective.

Has anyone else looked at it?

No.

Well,

i would love to be the first.

-Should we use protection?

-What?

- Do you have a condom?

- I'm on the pill.

Yeah, but, i mean,

technically it's

the morning-after pill, right?

There's a difference?

I'm not completely sure,

but i just...

i think i should put on a condom.

I mean, don't you think

i should put on a condom?

Do you want to put on a condom?

Are you okay if i put on a condom?

I'm on the pill.

I know, but it's not really the pill,

i think.

I'm not even sure.

I mean, does it work the same way?

Just put on a condom, baby.

Okay. Good call.

Incoming Call

Nelly Stone

Baby, where are you???

Back soon.

Running errands. Love u.

I love you too. Now get back

here so we can eat. Hungry!!!

Hey.

Hey.

Who's Nelly?

I saw her name in your phone.

You looked in my phone?

It was lying on the dining-room table

and i saw it ring with the name "Nelly".

Oh. It's just an old friend.

Just an old friend?

Yeah. Yeah, from college.

Did you date her?

Yeah. Yeah, briefly.

Why is she calling you?

'Cause we're still friends.

I don't believe you.

Just a girl i used to date.

Okay, i'm gonna ask you again,

and i want you to be honest with me.

- Who is Nelly?

- I told you.

It's a girl i used to

date during college,

and then for a little after.

Why is she calling and texting you all day?

- Did you go through my phone?

- You have a girlfriend.

You lied to me.

Uh... hey, hey.

"Work emergen."

I've already read it.

"Going to be a few hours."

"I love you, too, now get back

here so you can start dinner."

You live with her!

you're cheating on your girlfriend,

and i thought we were beginning something.

We -- we are. Okay?

Nelly and i...

we are in a dying relationship.

- Really?

- It's dead.

- Am i supposed to believe that?

- It's -- yes.

You are...because it's true,

and i'm telling you the truth.

So, you're planning on leaving her?

It doesn't sound like she thinks that.

Listen, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Listen to me.

i mean, the reason i'm here with you

obviously is

Because i do not want to be with her.

Then end it with her.

- I'm planning on it.

- When?

I mean,

it's complicated, you know?

But very, very soon.

How about now?

Uh, now or you mean now?

If you want to be with me,

then call her and end it with her now.

- R-right now?

- Right now.

i -- can you -- i'm not gonna c--

just be -- i'm sorry.

Be reasonable for a second, okay?

i mean,

i can't actually call her

and end it over the phone.

That's...

i mean, i need some time.

Okay, yeah.

You're -- no, you're right.

You're totally right.

I'm... i'm gonna go there

tonight right now.

I'm gonna talk to her,

and i'm gonna tell her that it's over.

It feels good.

Will you call me and tell me after?

Yes, i will.

I don't believe you.

I promise you i will.

I promise, okay?

Okay.

Actually, um...

one more thing before i go.

Can we um... take the second pill?

What?

The, um, pharmacist told me

that you have to take the second pill

12 hours after you take the first dose,

so it's, um -- it's been 12 hours,

and, uh,

here's the second pill, so...

did you... stay with me this whole

day

so i would take the second pill?

What?

No. That's crazy. I didn't...

Then why didn't you tell me about this pill?

I didn't because it, uh,

y-- uh, slipped my mind.

I -- i mean, i-i've -- every

time i tried

to talk to you about the pill

back at the diner,

you got pissed off, remember?

So i held off,

and then everything happened

with your roommate and your parents and...

Fred, you're a liar!

You are a liar!

You lied to me, and you used me!

What? No!

The second i take this pill,

you're just gonna forget

all about me.

No, n-- come on.

You're twisting everything around right now,

and you're putting words into my mouth.

Just be honest with me!

I am being honest with you.

Tell the truth for once!

Admit what you were gonna do!

I didn't know you,

and i didn't trust you 100 %, okay?

There, i said it.

I was afraid to become a dad,

and i didn't know you,

but now i do,

and i do trust you.

And you know what?

I'm glad that i didn't trust you

because if i did,

i wouldn't have stuck around

and we wouldn't have had
