:42:01
The first date back
is always the toughest, Harry.
:42:04
You only had one date.
:42:06
- How do you know it won't get worse?
- How much worse can it get
:42:10
than finishing dinner, having him pull
a hair out of my head and floss with it?
:42:15
We're talking dream date
compared to my horror.
:42:18
It started out fine.
She's a very nice person.
:42:22
And we're talking in this Ethiopian
restaurant she wanted to go to.
:42:26
I was making jokes, like
"I didn't know they had food in Ethiopia."
:42:29
"This'll be a quick meal. I'll order
two empty plates and we can leave."
:42:33
Yeah! Nothing from her, not even a smile.
:42:36
I downshift into small talk
and ask where she went to school.
:42:39
She says Michigan State.
And this reminds me of Helen.
:42:43
All of a sudden I'm in the middle
of an anxiety attack -
:42:46
my heart's beatin' fast
and I start sweatin' like a pig.
:42:49
- Helen went to Michigan State?
- No, Northwestern.
:42:52
But they're both Big Ten schools.
:42:54
I got so upset
I had to leave the restaurant.
:43:00
Harry, I think this takes a long time.
:43:02
It might be months before we're able
to enjoy going out with someone new.
:43:06
Yeah.
:43:08
Maybe longer before we're able
to go to bed with someone new.
:43:11
I went to bed with her.
:43:15
- You went to bed with her?!
- Sure.
:43:23
- I don't understand this relationship.
- What d'ya mean?
:43:27
- Enjoy being with her?
- Yeah.
:43:28
- You find her attractive?
- Yeah.
:43:31
- And you're not sleeping with her?
- No.
:43:33
You're afraid to let yourself be happy.
:43:35
Why can't you gimme credit for this?
This is a big thing for me.
:43:39
I never had a relationship with a woman
that didn't involve sex. I'm growing.
:43:43
- Are you finished?
- I got a stack o' quarters. I was here first.
:43:47
- Were not.
- Was too.
:43:48
- Were not!
- Was too!
:43:50
- Big jerk.
- Little creep.
:43:52
- Where was I?
- You were growing.
:43:54
Yeah.
:43:56
It's very freeing. I can say anything to her.
