Date Night

Transcript

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe they're out of frickin' cucumbers! They don't even have the English cucumbers or even the ones that are for pickling. They're totally out of cucumbers! So much for my cucumber salad tonight.

Oh well, guess I won't have any sides with my spaghetti. Oh well, guess I'll just go get some wine and head on home. Let me turn around here.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to run into you.

Wait, are you? Oh my goodness! Oh my gosh, it's been so long! What's it been, like 10 years? Yeah, we met 10 years ago and I don't think we've seen or heard from each other since.

Didn't you move? Are you visiting? You came back? When? A year ago.

And you couldn't think to contact me? Yeah, we did lose touch with each other. Haha, wow.

But anyway, how have you been? That's wonderful! I've been doing pretty well.

So, where do you live? Do you live in the same place? Did you move back to the same place? Oh, that's about an hour away from here.

I live 10 minutes from this grocery store. So, yeah, you're about an hour away from me. So, what brings you to this side of town? Work? Oh, you work up this way? Oh, you just had a meeting here? Oh, okay.

So, are you on your lunch break or something? Oh, you're already done with work? Oh, okay.

Oh, I have the day off today, so I'm just grocery shopping. And I was going to make a cucumber salad tonight to go as a side with my spaghetti. But as you can see, they're out of cucumbers.

And they said that the new shipment of cucumbers isn't going to arrive until next week. So, I have to wait all the way till next week for damn cucumbers. I mean, I know that's not a good idea.

I have to wait all the way till next week for damn cucumbers. I mean, I know next week is only a few days away, but damn. You know me.

I'm impatient. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I look great. Okay, thank you. So do you.

You look fabulous. Yeah, well, a lot has changed in 10 years. Well, I'm going to go to the wine section.

I'm going to go get me a bottle of wine. But it was nice running into you. Um, I hope we can catch up sometime.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can have my number. Absolutely.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, we'll call each other sometime.

Um, what are my plans for the rest of the evening? Um, I really didn't have any plans except to make dinner and then have my glass of wine, binge watch Netflix, and then call it a night. I don't have any other plans tonight.

Oh, go to dinner with you tonight? Um, oh, okay. Okay, I'll bite.

Besides, we have a lot of catching up to do anyway. Highly doubt that we're gonna catch up and just maybe an hour of dinner, but it's a start. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. Seven o'clock. Okay.

All right. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.

That sounds good. Okay. All right.

I'll see you this evening then. Seven o'clock. All right.

See you later. Hey. Nice to see you again.

Yeah, I'm ready to go inside. You look nice. Yeah.

What? I look amazing? It's just a casual outfit.

All right, then. If you insist. I do look amazing, okay? All right.

Okay. Oh, looks like she's ready to seat us. So, what's up? How are things? What made you move back here? Oh, job transfer.

Oh, and you got a promotion? Wow, that's amazing. Well, things are going pretty good for me, too.

Um, work is going good. I've just been staying busy. Um, I mean, not much has really been happening with me.

Oh, here's the waiter. Oh, um, to drink, I'll have. ..

I'll have a glass of Riesling. Yeah, and, um, also a glass of water. Wait, what? Oh, wait, you want to order the bottle to share between the two of us? Oh, you're not having any? Then why are you ordering the bottle? For me? I'm not gonna drink the whole thing.

Take some home. Um, but, I just bought a bottle of wine at the grocery store. Your gift to me? What? You're tr- But why? I mean, we literally just ran into each other after 10 years.

All right, then. This guy is so silly. Like, don't pay him any mind, but, um, get the bottle of Riesling and also a glass of water, please.

Yeah, we'll need a few more minutes to order food. Okay, thank you. Ugh, you are something else.

I cannot believe you. What is this all about? Oh, what, do you treat all your friends like this? I thought so.

Oh, I'm a special friend. Okay, all right, that's good to know. Okay, excuse me.

So, um, is moving back here, is this just temporary or is this gonna be permanent for you? Permanent? Oh.

Oh, okay. Well, that's awesome, that's great. Well, that means we get to hang out more often, right? Why are you looking at me like that? What do you mean, like what? You are really looking at me hard.

You can't get off of how beautiful I am. Ten years ago, I wasn't on your radar and you weren't even on mine. What changed? Well, ten years ago, I know I was practically skinny then.

I, I have put on some weight since then, as you can see. I look even more beautiful now? Okay, thank you.

Well, you don't look too bad, do you? Well, you don't look too bad yourself, I must admit. Oh, here she comes with the wine.

Oh, thank you. Um, yeah, um, are you ready to order? Oh, you want me to go first? Okay, okay, that's fine.

To start, I'll get the Caesar salad. And for my meal, I would like the New York strip steak, medium rare. And I'll get the mashed potatoes, no gravy, please.

And also your roasted Brussels sprouts. Yeah, that'll be all for me, thank you. All right, you order.

Yeah, I think that's it for both of us. Okay, thank you. Well, it's very rare that I eat steak, so when the opportunity presents itself, for me to have a good steak, then I'm gonna order it.

And I haven't been to this restaurant in like, what, five years? You see how expensive this stuff is? This is a bit out of my price range, I have to admit.

Well, when I came here five years ago, it was a company dinner, and the CEO paid for everybody. So, I'll bet that was a nice tax write-off for him. Yeah, um, yeah, I'm working on that.

I hope to be the CEO of my own company one day. Yeah, I'm working toward that. Yeah, I'm working toward that.

I would like to go into business for myself. And what about you? Oh, you have a business? Okay, so what are you doing working a job, then? Oh, multiple income streams.

Yeah, that makes sense. That's pretty neat. Yeah.

Oh, that's really nice. So, like, oh, you do live in a house, condo, apartment? Oh, a house? Oh, you bought a house here? Okay.

Yeah, well, didn't you, did you sell, did you sell your condo where you were living at before? Oh, you didn't sell it? You turned it into an Airbnb? Wow, that's amazing.

Oh, wow. That's great. Yeah, that's wonderful.

Oh, great, the food's here. Wow, she brought the salad and the steak. Oh, all right.

Oh, this steak looks good. Oh, yeah, let me just cut into it. Oh, yeah, this steak.

Oh, this is perfect. Well, that's how I like my steak, and that's how you can tell it's a good steak, because it's nicely seared, slightly crispy on the outside, nice and juicy, and a little pink on the inside. Yeah, that's how I like my steak, medium rare, so make a note of that.

Oh, wow, and this caesar salad is good, too. Oh, yeah, like, oh my god, that caesar dressing is fabulous. What? Like, this is my first time having the caesar salad here.

Wow, they make their dressing from scratch? No way! Oh, no wonder it's so good.

Wow, it's amazing. Well, I'm gonna eat some more, because I am starving, and this wine is really good, this Riesling. It's very good, and I am gonna take the bottle home, so thank you for insisting that I take the bottle.

I do have to admit, you, you looked good ten years ago, and you look really good now. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that was an excellent dinner. You saved me from cooking tonight, and took away the headache of thinking about the lack of cucumber salad. So, thank you, thank you so much, and thank you for the bottle of wine.

I really do appreciate it. Well, in that case, um, I'm gonna go home, and, um, you have a good night, and, um, let's do this again. I'd really, I'd really like to, um, really like to catch up some more.

What? Come into your car? Where are we going? Nowhere.

So then, what are we gonna be doing? You just want to sit and talk? You just want to sit and talk? Um, uh, okay, I guess.

Um, I guess I wouldn't mind. Here, let me just put this bottle of Riesling in my car, okay? All right.

Well, all right, so the Riesling is put away. Let's go to your car, then. Wow, this is a nice SUV that you have.

It's very nice. Hmm. Oh, you just got it last year? Wow, it's very nice.

Okay. Hmm. The seats are very comfortable.

Wow, you've got all the bells and whistles in here. Wow. Wow.

I so did not think that that we would run into each other after all this time. You know, the whole time, I couldn't help but, but just. ..
