How do you like that, huh? That ought to prove it's not a fluke. Give me a break, three strikes in a row? Dude, that is not just luck, that is skill.
That is pure skill. I told you I was good, man. No, of course I wasn't just talking.
Dude, when have I ever been just hot? Okay, apart from that. And that.
You know what? Shut up. You're just upset that I'm beating your ass.
I told you I'm good at this. No, back when I was in school, like every Tuesday night my friends and I would go out and bowl. Hmm? Well, you never asked.
I don't know, dude. What am I supposed to do, tell you everything I've ever done? Go on, it's your turn.
Dude, can you just like. .. What? Okay, I'm listening.
You dare me to get who's number? Hers? Why? You dare me? What is this, grade school? You dare me? You just went straight from dare to triple dog dare? Like, seriously? Dude, I have not been checking her out all night, what are you talking about? I have not.
No, just. .. Look, dare me to do something different, okay? No, man, like.
.. I don't know, it's weird. She's in the middle of a game with her friends.
She's with her friends. It would be weird, I don't want to get in the middle of that. Dude, it would completely weird her out.
I'd be lucky if she didn't smack me. Really? Okay, and what's in it for me? No, man, I'm not doing it.
No, do not go over and talk to her. .. Dude.
Because I don't trust you, that's why. Of course, man, you're my brother. I trust you with my life, but I don't trust you, if that makes sense.
It makes sense to me. Hey, you know what I'm talking about, don't you? Alright, fine.
But you better keep your mouth shut over here. And don't you try bowling on my turn either. You're ruining my score, man.
Just because I'm kicking your ass. Oh, shut up, dude, it's skill. Dude, three strikes in a row, okay? Hey, shut up.
Here I go. Hey! Um.
.. This is a little bit weird. Really weird, but my friend over there put me up to it.
Yes, the idiot that's waving to us. Yes, that's him. You know, I get this is totally weird, but he wants me to ask you for your number.
Look, I get it. I know I'm a stranger. I totally get it if you don't want to give me your number.
Just give me a number, okay? Like, I don't even care if it has just six digits in it. Just a number, so I can go back to him and.
.. I don't know, rub him in his face. Oh, they did, huh? Your friends were saying that? Well, I.
.. I guess I saw you looking my way a couple times, but I just thought that you. ..
I thought it was because you were catching me looking. No, I'm very flattered as a matter of fact. Why would I be upset about that? Besides, it's not like I wasn't looking at you.
Look, look, if that's the case, then let me backtrack a little bit on what I said. I do want you to give me your real number. And, you know, with, like, all the digits.
Of course I'll call. Because I'd like to get to know you better. I know I don't know you at all.
But, um. .. You know, I've noticed how you're interacting with your friends and.
.. How you carry yourself, and, uh. ..
I like it. I mean, if it's not too bold, I'll just say I find it really attractive. And, um.
.. It doesn't hurt that I think you're gorgeous, too, so. ..
There that is. Hang on, hang on. Contacts.
New contact. All right, I'm ready. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. All right. Cool, saved.
And, uh, here, let me just text you my name. Right there. Well, now you've got my number, too.
Well, cool, um. .. It was, uh.
.. Nice to meet you. I'll hit you up soon.
You know what? Let's, uh. ..
Let's not play games here. What I mean is, um. ..
Why don't we just skip to the part where I ask you out? You got plans tomorrow night? Perfect.
Well, um, how about 7 o'clock? Yeah? You know Kelly's Bistro? Perfect, I'll meet you there at 7.
And, um, yeah, don't hesitate to text me or call me if, uh. .. If something comes up, and we'll just figure something else out.
Awesome. Well, I, um, hope you have a good rest of your evening. And, uh, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Alright, dude. I'm. ..
I'm gonna say it. I'm so glad you didn't let me off the hook. You did not just boulder in my turn.
Oh, you. ..
