( busy office sounds )

3
00:02:32,542 --> 00:02:33,583
Where is Alison?

4
00:02:33,583 --> 00:02:35,375
You're gonna be late
for your date.

5
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:36,208
Relax, Erin.

6
00:02:36,208 --> 00:02:37,208
The restaurant's right
around the corner.

7
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:38,208
I have plenty of time.

8
00:02:38,208 --> 00:02:40,375
Leigh, you have to go home
and change first.

9
00:02:40,375 --> 00:02:41,625
Take the blue dress
from my closet.

10
00:02:41,625 --> 00:02:43,291
Oh, and my yellow sweater.

11
00:02:43,291 --> 00:02:44,417
What is wrong
with what I'm wearing?

12
00:02:44,417 --> 00:02:45,709
You're going on a date.

13
00:02:45,709 --> 00:02:47,083
Your first date
since you broke up with-

14
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:47,875
Aaaaah!

15
00:02:47,875 --> 00:02:48,709
Don't say it.

16
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:50,208
He who shall not be named.

17
00:02:50,208 --> 00:02:51,041
Thank you.

18
00:02:51,041 --> 00:02:53,291
I just think you should look
like you're at least trying.

19
00:02:53,291 --> 00:02:54,542
This is so exciting!

20
00:02:54,542 --> 00:02:55,583
Why aren't you more excited?

21
00:02:55,583 --> 00:02:58,917
Because it's my first date
since I broke up with...

22
00:02:58,917 --> 00:03:01,500
I'm just trying to keep
expectations low.

23
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:02,709
Hi, ladies.

24
00:03:02,709 --> 00:03:03,875
Sorry I'm late,

25
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:06,667
I was stuck on a call with
advertising just explaining

26
00:03:06,667 --> 00:03:09,792
that The Richards Record
is a serious, hard-hitting

27
00:03:09,792 --> 00:03:12,000
online news magazine
that deserves respect.

28
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,041
But I am here now
and my full attention

29
00:03:14,041 --> 00:03:17,041
is on my top two editors so they
can pitch me new ideas

30
00:03:17,041 --> 00:03:18,709
for the next edition of...?

31
00:03:18,709 --> 00:03:20,333
The Bad Date Chronicles.

32
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:21,667
The Foodie Country Blog.

33
00:03:21,667 --> 00:03:23,500
Hard-hitting news magazine

34
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,834
with a softer, more human edge.

35
00:03:25,834 --> 00:03:27,250
What have you got?

36
00:03:38,166 --> 00:03:41,417
All I'm saying is that I think
you're overdressed.

37
00:03:41,417 --> 00:03:42,208
It's our first date.

38
00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:44,542
Exactly. You're setting the bar
way too high.

39
00:03:44,542 --> 00:03:45,083
Look, Brad.

40
00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:46,166
She knows I'm the Styles
and Trends editor

41
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:46,917
for The Peters Post.

42
00:03:46,917 --> 00:03:48,291
I have to look good, ok?

43
00:03:48,291 --> 00:03:50,458
I can't show up wearing
ratty jeans and a t-shirt.

44
00:03:50,458 --> 00:03:51,875
Hey. I look good.

45
00:03:51,875 --> 00:03:53,250
Yeah, for the editor
of a sport's blog.

46
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,500
Conner and Brad, my
two favourite editors.

47
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:56,792
You say that to all your
editors, Milo?

48
00:03:56,792 --> 00:03:58,667
Yeah, but with you two
I actually mean it.

49
00:03:58,667 --> 00:04:00,208
Just don't tell that to Susan
at the news desk,

50
00:04:00,208 --> 00:04:01,417
it might break her heart.

51
00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:02,291
Hey, Milo.

52
00:04:02,291 --> 00:04:04,208
Don't you think that Conner
is a bit overdressed

53
00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:05,542
for a first date?

54
00:04:05,542 --> 00:04:06,625
No, he's a style guy.

55
00:04:06,625 --> 00:04:09,250
He has to look stylish,
otherwise he's the sports guy.

56
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,417
Hey, I still think
you're gonna regret

57
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:11,375
wearing those nice clothes.

58
00:04:11,375 --> 00:04:12,583
Think fast!

59
00:04:16,542 --> 00:04:17,750
Dude!

60
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:19,208
I've got an extra pair of pants
in the car.

61
00:04:19,208 --> 00:04:20,500
I will be right back.

62
00:04:25,542 --> 00:04:26,417
And if you don't like those,

63
00:04:26,417 --> 00:04:27,834
I also have two
really good submissions

64
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:29,750
for this week's
Bad Date Chronicles.

65
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:32,041
One is from Becky who's date
brought his mother.

66
00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:34,083
The second is Steve who forgot
to put his car in park

67
00:04:34,083 --> 00:04:35,417
and it rolled into the lake.

68
00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:36,250
Car in the lake.

69
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:37,208
That'll make better headlines.

70
00:04:37,208 --> 00:04:38,458
That is so depressing.

71
00:04:38,458 --> 00:04:39,583
Do you know what we need?

72
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:42,458
A true love blog to balance
out your Bad Date Chronicles.

73
00:04:42,458 --> 00:04:43,333
True love?

74
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:45,500
We don't do fiction
at The Richards Record.

75
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:48,125
Besides, nobody wants to read
about happy people.

76
00:04:48,125 --> 00:04:50,000
Happy people
don't get page views.

77
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,417
She's right, Erin.

78
00:04:51,417 --> 00:04:53,458
Not many people are into hearts
and flowers anymore.

79
00:04:53,458 --> 00:04:55,375
Says the girl going
on a date tonight.

80
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:56,625
A date?

81
00:04:56,625 --> 00:04:59,208
Well, I should really let you
get going so you can go change.

82
00:04:59,208 --> 00:05:00,166
See?

83
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:01,959
She's got a date with
the Style and Trends editor-

84
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:02,625
Erin?

85
00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:04,333
Over at The Peters Post.

86
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:05,750
Peters Post?!

87
00:05:08,834 --> 00:05:11,375
Do not get me started
about Milo Peters!!

88
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:22,208
Huh?

89
00:05:22,208 --> 00:05:22,917
No.

90
00:05:22,917 --> 00:05:24,375
No, I'm not going
on a date like this.

91
00:05:24,375 --> 00:05:25,291
Why not?

92
00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:27,166
Because I look like a roadie
for a hair metal band.

93
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:29,291
Well, maybe she likes music.

94
00:05:29,291 --> 00:05:31,083
Conner, why don't you just
go home and change?

95
00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:32,333
I can't. I'm already
running late,

96
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:33,834
the restaurant's all
the way across town.

97
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:34,834
How's my phone?

98
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,291
Uh, it got coffee too.

99
00:05:36,291 --> 00:05:37,250
It's flickering on and off.

100
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:38,041
Sorry, dude.

101
00:05:38,041 --> 00:05:39,250
Just use the one on the desk.

102
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:40,417
I can't. Her name is
in my contacts.

103
00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:42,208
Why don't you just explain
it to her when you get there.

104
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:44,041
You'll probably have a good
laugh over it.

105
00:05:44,041 --> 00:05:44,834
Hey, Brad.

106
00:05:44,834 --> 00:05:47,291
She edits a blog called
The Bad Date Chronicles, ok?

107
00:05:47,291 --> 00:05:48,792
So if I show up
looking like this,

108
00:05:48,792 --> 00:05:50,083
I end up on the front page.

109
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,250
The Bad Date Chronicles?

110
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:52,917
Yeah.

111
00:05:52,917 --> 00:05:56,208
Do not get my started
about Alison Richards!

112
00:05:56,208 --> 00:05:58,291
You know who Milo Peters
stole his entire idea from,

113
00:05:58,291 --> 00:05:59,083
don't you?

114
00:05:59,083 --> 00:05:59,667
You?

115
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:00,583
Me.

116
00:06:00,583 --> 00:06:01,667
I hired him.

117
00:06:01,667 --> 00:06:02,583
I trained him.

118
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:04,041
I was his mentor.

119
00:06:04,041 --> 00:06:05,333
He turned around,
stabs me in the back,

120
00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:07,834
and starts the ridiculous
Peters Post.

121
00:06:07,834 --> 00:06:10,291
She still tells people
I stole her idea

122
00:06:10,291 --> 00:06:12,125
for The Peters Post.

123
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:14,709
Like doing an online magazine
is some brilliant idea

124
00:06:14,709 --> 00:06:16,125
no one's ever thought of before.

125
00:06:16,125 --> 00:06:17,041
I am so late.

126
00:06:17,041 --> 00:06:18,792
Conner?

127
00:06:18,792 --> 00:06:21,333
Do not give this woman
any ammunition

128
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:24,625
for The Bad Date Chronicles,
please.

129
00:06:24,625 --> 00:06:25,917
Any more ammunition.

130
00:06:25,917 --> 00:06:27,125
Yeah, thanks boss.

131
00:06:27,125 --> 00:06:28,125
I feel better already.

132
00:06:28,125 --> 00:06:29,875
Do not reveal any of
our company's secrets,

133
00:06:29,875 --> 00:06:31,875
but get him to reveal his.

134
00:06:31,875 --> 00:06:33,500
Is it too late to get out
of this date?

135
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:35,333
Stop. It'll be fine.

136
00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:37,792
You won't end up in
The Bad Date Chronicles.

137
00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:48,208
What happened?

138
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:50,375
You are never going
to believe this.

139
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:51,542
First, he was late.

140
00:06:51,542 --> 00:06:52,834
Really late.

141
00:06:52,834 --> 00:06:53,750
( Erin ): And he didn't
call you?

142
00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:54,375
( Leigh ): No.

143
00:06:54,375 --> 00:06:56,250
I was just getting ready
to leave when he rushes up.

144
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:56,959
Hey.

145
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:57,667
Hey, hey, hey.

146
00:06:57,667 --> 00:06:58,417
I'm sorry, look.

147
00:06:58,417 --> 00:06:59,125
My car wouldn't start

148
00:06:59,125 --> 00:07:00,166
so I had to get a cab
and race over here-

149
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:01,917
( Erin ): I thought he was
a style editor?

150
00:07:01,917 --> 00:07:04,208
( Leigh ): He said
something about coffee
and switching clothes

151
00:07:04,208 --> 00:07:06,083
with his friend, and
that he tried to call me

152
00:07:06,083 --> 00:07:07,625
but his phone didn't work.

153
00:07:07,625 --> 00:07:08,959
Then...

154
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:10,250
Julian called.

155
00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:10,875
Ju- Julian?

156
00:07:10,875 --> 00:07:11,792
Peters Post?

157
00:07:11,792 --> 00:07:13,291
( Erin ): He didn't make
a reservation?

158
00:07:13,291 --> 00:07:14,500
( Leigh ): Apparently not.

159
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,959
We had to wait at the bar
for 45 minutes.

160
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:18,500
I- I came here on a date,
I need you to help me.

161
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,542
( Erin ): Why didn't you go
some place else?

162
00:07:20,542 --> 00:07:22,709
Because he said it was the
hottest restaurant in town.

163
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:23,375
Ugh.

164
00:07:23,375 --> 00:07:24,750
Typical trends editor.

165
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:26,959
Once we got to the table,
things were ok.

166
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,583
Because all great love stories
start with things going "ok".

167
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:30,792
You know what I mean.

168
00:07:30,792 --> 00:07:32,458
I didn't feel any butterflies,

169
00:07:32,458 --> 00:07:33,834
but he was charming and smart

170
00:07:33,834 --> 00:07:35,875
and it was going fine
and then...

171
00:07:35,875 --> 00:07:37,291
Maître d' hooked me up.

172
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:39,500
I love it.

173
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,333
Oh man, this is...
this is the best.

174
00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:42,333
You gotta try this.

175
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:43,041
Oh, that's ok.

176
00:07:43,041 --> 00:07:43,667
I uh-

177
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:44,458
Seriously, this will take-

178
00:07:45,583 --> 00:07:46,667
( gasps )

179
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,166
( Erin ): He set you on fire?!

180
00:07:48,166 --> 00:07:50,375
Sorry.

181
00:07:50,375 --> 00:07:52,125
In his defense, he did
put me out quickly.

182
00:07:52,125 --> 00:07:53,166
No, no!

183
00:07:54,792 --> 00:07:59,208
( gasping )

184
00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:00,250
Look at it this way.

185
00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:02,542
At least you can say
you felt a spark.

186
00:08:02,542 --> 00:08:04,208
Yeah, it's a little soon
for fire jokes.

187
00:08:04,208 --> 00:08:05,583
Sorry.

188
00:08:05,583 --> 00:08:08,000
Especially because I'm not
even finished the story yet.

189
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,375
Don't tell me it gets worse.

190
00:08:09,375 --> 00:08:11,375
Mmmhmm.

191
00:08:11,375 --> 00:08:12,750
( Erin ): He left?!

192
00:08:12,750 --> 00:08:14,250
Leigh ): At first I thought
was in the bathroom.

193
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:16,792
Or maybe making a call
on his broken phone

194
00:08:16,792 --> 00:08:18,750
but he never came back, so-

195
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:19,834
( Erin ): No!

196
00:08:19,834 --> 00:08:20,792
( Leigh ): Yes.

197
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:23,417
I had to pay the whole bill.

198
00:08:23,417 --> 00:08:25,333
You are going to make him
reimburse you.

199
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:26,458
Reimburse us?

200
00:08:26,458 --> 00:08:28,959
No. I just want to dry off,
accept the fact that

201
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:30,792
I'm never going on a date again

202
00:08:30,792 --> 00:08:32,375
and eat my body weight
in ice cream.

203
00:08:32,375 --> 00:08:34,166
I will admit, this was
not a great re-entry

204
00:08:34,166 --> 00:08:35,166
into the dating pool.

205
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,250
But, on the other hand,

206
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:38,917
maybe this is an improvement
from your break-up with-

207
00:08:38,917 --> 00:08:40,083
Don't say his name!

208
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:41,792
The worst human
who ever lived.

209
00:08:41,792 --> 00:08:42,792
Thank you.

210
00:08:42,792 --> 00:08:44,917
How awful is it that being
set on fire is actually better

211
00:08:44,917 --> 00:08:47,375
than my last serious
relationship?

212
00:08:47,375 --> 00:08:49,667
Well, at least now you have
your own bad date chronicle

213
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:51,500
and you're not just editing
other people's.

214
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:53,542
I am not putting this
on the site.

215
00:08:53,542 --> 00:08:54,583
Uh, yeah you are.

216
00:08:54,583 --> 00:08:56,959
You're gonna crush
every other bad date ever.

217
00:08:56,959 --> 00:08:58,208
It's not a competition, Erin.

218
00:08:58,208 --> 00:08:58,917
It should be.

219
00:08:58,917 --> 00:09:00,041
'Cause you'd win.

220
00:09:03,792 --> 00:09:04,792
Hey, buddy.

221
00:09:04,792 --> 00:09:05,834
How was the big date?

222
00:09:05,834 --> 00:09:06,750
It was a disaster.

223
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:07,500
Why?

224
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:08,959
Well, I couldn't get my car
to start

225
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:11,083
so I had to take a cab
and race over there.

226
00:09:11,083 --> 00:09:12,375
( Conner ): Julian,
the restaurant critic,

227
00:09:12,375 --> 00:09:15,125
said he would get me a
reservation at Il Tempo.

228
00:09:15,125 --> 00:09:16,208
( Brad ): And he didn't?

229
00:09:16,208 --> 00:09:17,959
Julian!

230
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:20,166
onner ): So we were at
bar for like half an hour.

231
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:21,417
( Brad ): Why didn't you just
go somewhere else?

232
00:09:21,417 --> 00:09:22,458
Because I didn't have my car

233
00:09:22,458 --> 00:09:25,083
and I wasn't gonna
ask her to drive, and besides,

234
00:09:25,083 --> 00:09:29,250
once we started talking
she was smart and funny.

235
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:30,542
It wasn't bad.

236
00:09:30,542 --> 00:09:31,959
When you're telling your buddy
about the hot date

237
00:09:31,959 --> 00:09:33,041
you went on the night before,

238
00:09:33,041 --> 00:09:36,208
you probably shouldn't include
the phrase "it wasn't bad".

239
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:39,417
Yeah, well, it definitely
got hotter.

240
00:09:39,417 --> 00:09:40,208
Oh man, this is-

241
00:09:40,208 --> 00:09:41,166
this is the best.

242
00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:41,959
You gotta try this.

243
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:43,208
Oh, that's ok, I have-

244
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:44,208
Seriously, this will change
your life-

245
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:45,458
( gasps )

246
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:49,583
She set herself on fire?

247
00:09:49,583 --> 00:09:50,917
I'm totally freaking out!

248
00:09:50,917 --> 00:09:52,041
( laughing )

249
00:09:52,041 --> 00:09:53,583
onner ): I'm convinced that
s woman's gonna press charges

250
00:09:53,583 --> 00:09:54,667
against me or something,

251
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:56,375
so I go to get her
some paper towels,

252
00:09:56,375 --> 00:09:58,875
and to splash some water
on my face.

253
00:10:01,375 --> 00:10:02,417
You know, that waiter
would have

254
00:10:02,417 --> 00:10:03,375
probably brought you
another pitcher.

255
00:10:03,375 --> 00:10:04,500
Shut up.

256
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:06,959
( Conner ): Anyway, I managed
not to hyperventilate,

257
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:07,750
and then...

258
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:09,333
( snap )

259
00:10:14,792 --> 00:10:16,875
Hello?

260
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:18,000
Hello!

261
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,667
You got locked in the bathroom?

262
00:10:20,667 --> 00:10:23,375
( laughs )

263
00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:24,917
By the time I got out
she was gone.

264
00:10:24,917 --> 00:10:26,750
And to make things worse,
she paid.

265
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:28,583
Oh, dude. That's bad.

266
00:10:28,583 --> 00:10:29,542
I wanted to try to call her

267
00:10:29,542 --> 00:10:30,875
to explain everything
that happened

268
00:10:30,875 --> 00:10:32,500
but my phone still
wasn't working

269
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,959
so I just crashed and figured
I'd deal with it in the morning.

270
00:10:35,959 --> 00:10:37,041
Conner.

271
00:10:37,041 --> 00:10:38,083
I've been trying to call you
for an hour.

272
00:10:38,083 --> 00:10:38,959
You gotta see this.

273
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:39,792
What's going on?

274
00:10:39,792 --> 00:10:40,792
Everyone's looking for you.

275
00:10:40,792 --> 00:10:41,542
Why?

276
00:10:41,542 --> 00:10:42,625
Because of how your date
went last night.

277
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:43,750
How do you know how my date
went last night?

278
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:45,709
The whole world knows how
your date went last night.

279
00:10:45,709 --> 00:10:47,500
Read.

280
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,041
"He showed up an hour late
looking like he had just come

281
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:51,125
"from playing video games
in his mother's basement."

282
00:10:51,125 --> 00:10:52,125
Oh no.

283
00:10:52,125 --> 00:10:55,500
We got calls from websites,
TV stations, newspapers...

284
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,291
You've gone viral, dude!

285
00:10:57,291 --> 00:10:58,500
She didn't even use my name.

286
00:10:58,500 --> 00:10:59,458
How-

287
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:01,792
"My date with Conrad,
a lifestyle and trends editor

288
00:11:01,792 --> 00:11:03,208
"for an online magazine."

289
00:11:03,208 --> 00:11:04,834
It wasn't hard to crack
the code.

290
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:05,959
Guys, what do I do?

291
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:08,375
Change your name,
move to another state?

292
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:09,500
I have to try to talk to her,
you know?

293
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:10,583
Convince her to take it down.

294
00:11:10,583 --> 00:11:11,917
Post a retraction or something.

295
00:11:11,917 --> 00:11:12,875
Excellent idea.

296
00:11:12,875 --> 00:11:15,625
Yes, do that.

297
00:11:15,625 --> 00:11:16,750
Where are you going?

298
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:17,750
With you.

299
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:20,917
You were late for dinner
and she set herself on fire.

300
00:11:20,917 --> 00:11:21,750
( laughs )

301
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:23,667
I have to see what she's doing
for an encore.

302
00:11:33,125 --> 00:11:35,000
Leigh.

303
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,750
Conner.

304
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:37,041
Conner!

305
00:11:37,041 --> 00:11:38,667
You have a lot of nerve!

306
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:40,083
He's got a lot of nerve?

307
00:11:40,083 --> 00:11:41,417
She's the one making up stuff
about their dates

308
00:11:41,417 --> 00:11:43,166
and broadcasting it
to the world.

309
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:43,834
Who are you?

310
00:11:43,834 --> 00:11:45,500
His friend Brad,
who are you?

311
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,041
I'm her friend, Erin.

312
00:11:47,041 --> 00:11:48,458
What does he mean,
I made stuff up?

313
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:50,208
What you wrote on your site,
that didn't happen.

314
00:11:50,208 --> 00:11:50,875
I was there.

315
00:11:50,875 --> 00:11:52,667
I was the one on fire,
remember?

316
00:11:52,667 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah, I feel terrible
about that,

317
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,875
but there were extenuating
circumstances.

318
00:11:55,875 --> 00:11:57,625
Look, I didn't use your name.

319
00:11:57,625 --> 00:11:59,000
Yeah, but everyone knows
it's me.

320
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,583
This could affect my job,
my life.

321
00:12:00,583 --> 00:12:02,333
My mother called me
all the way from Ohio

322
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:04,834
asking what she had done wrong
to make me turn out like this.

323
00:12:04,834 --> 00:12:05,375
Really?

324
00:12:05,375 --> 00:12:06,792
Yeah.

325
00:12:06,792 --> 00:12:07,667
I'm sorry, I-

326
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:08,417
Don't be sorry.

327
00:12:08,417 --> 00:12:09,834
This is his fault, Leigh.

328
00:12:09,834 --> 00:12:11,417
It is not his fault.

329
00:12:11,417 --> 00:12:12,834
You haven't even heard
his side of it yet.

330
00:12:12,834 --> 00:12:14,959
Well, he has a column
in The Peters Post.

331
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:16,875
Maybe he should go see
if the truth is trending.

332
00:12:16,875 --> 00:12:17,542
Oh, no-

333
00:12:17,542 --> 00:12:18,625
Ok. He will.

334
00:12:18,625 --> 00:12:19,500
No, maybe we should-

335
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:21,709
No, Conner, it is time
to fight fire with fire.

336
00:12:21,709 --> 00:12:22,583
See what I did there?

337
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:23,834
Funny. Very funny.

338
00:12:23,834 --> 00:12:25,834
We'll just see who has
the last laugh.

339
00:12:32,417 --> 00:12:33,750
Put something in there about
all we should do

340
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:35,208
is think about is think
about herself.

341
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:37,417
"Oh, I can't believe
he made me wait.

342
00:12:37,417 --> 00:12:39,125
"Oh, I'm on fire!"

343
00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:40,000
I'm not gonna say that.

344
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,125
"And he didn't call to explain
what had happened.

345
00:12:42,125 --> 00:12:43,750
"Maybe he can't get
good cell service

346
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:45,834
"in his mother's basement."

347
00:12:45,834 --> 00:12:47,000
Huh?

348
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,709
One sec.

349
00:12:49,709 --> 00:12:51,917
Perhaps if she had taken
the time to listen to my side

350
00:12:51,917 --> 00:12:54,417
we would have a fun story
to laugh about later.

351
00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:56,166
But instead she jumped
to conclusions

352
00:12:56,166 --> 00:12:58,291
so she would have a good story
for her blog.

353
00:13:00,875 --> 00:13:01,917
Yeah, that's- that's good.

354
00:13:01,917 --> 00:13:03,041
More of that.

355
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:14,083
Stop hitting refresh.

356
00:13:14,083 --> 00:13:17,166
Well, how else are we gonna
know if he posts something?

357
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:21,291
( phone ringing
and cell vibrating )

358
00:13:21,291 --> 00:13:22,375
I think we'll know.

359
00:13:22,375 --> 00:13:23,834
Refresh.

360
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:31,625
Oh, he did NOT call you
self-absorbed.

361
00:13:31,625 --> 00:13:33,083
The handle came off
the bathroom door?

362
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:35,792
Well, I didn't know that.

363
00:13:35,792 --> 00:13:37,250
"Jump to conclusions"?

364
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:40,709
Well, he has a point,
I guess.

365
00:13:40,709 --> 00:13:41,333
No, he doesn't.

366
00:13:41,333 --> 00:13:42,875
He's the bad guy.

367
00:13:42,875 --> 00:13:45,000
If what he's saying is true,
there is no bad guy.

368
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,208
You have to write a rebuttal.

369
00:13:48,208 --> 00:13:50,041
Ok, I'm putting an end
to this right now.

370
00:14:09,166 --> 00:14:09,959
Hey.

371
00:14:09,959 --> 00:14:11,750
Um, I'll see you guys later.

372
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:12,583
Hi.

373
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:13,250
Hey.

374
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:14,458
Sorry to barge in unannounced.

375
00:14:14,458 --> 00:14:15,834
No, no, no. That's ok.

376
00:14:15,834 --> 00:14:16,834
How'd you get back?

377
00:14:16,834 --> 00:14:18,667
Uh, the receptionist read
both our columns,

378
00:14:18,667 --> 00:14:19,625
she's taking my side.

379
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:20,792
Ok, got it.

380
00:14:20,792 --> 00:14:21,959
Wanna sit?

381
00:14:21,959 --> 00:14:22,542
Sure.

382
00:14:22,542 --> 00:14:23,834
Ok.

383
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:27,583
Listen, I read your post.

384
00:14:27,583 --> 00:14:29,542
You were actually a lot nicer
about the whole thing

385
00:14:29,542 --> 00:14:31,041
than I thought you would be.

386
00:14:31,041 --> 00:14:32,917
I mean, I called you
self-absorbed and clueless.

387
00:14:32,917 --> 00:14:34,875
I called you vain
and entitled, so...

388
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:36,333
Yeah.

389
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:38,792
I wanted to apologize
for jumping to conclusions.

390
00:14:38,792 --> 00:14:40,917
I should have let you explain.

391
00:14:40,917 --> 00:14:41,834
That's ok.

392
00:14:41,834 --> 00:14:46,000
You know, and I wanted to
apologize for, well, everything.

393
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,208
( laughs )

394
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:48,375
Apology accepted.

395
00:14:48,375 --> 00:14:48,917
Great.

396
00:14:48,917 --> 00:14:50,125
Truce?

397
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:51,542
Truce.

398
00:14:53,875 --> 00:14:55,166
Ok, so I'm going to go back
to chronicling

399
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:56,375
other people's bad dates.

400
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:58,333
And I'll go back to writing
about the latest trendy topic

401
00:14:58,333 --> 00:15:01,083
that everyone will forget
about by tomorrow afternoon.

402
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:03,458
And we can both just forget
this ever happened.

403
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:04,917
Sounds like a plan to me.

404
00:15:04,917 --> 00:15:05,792
Ok.

405
00:15:05,792 --> 00:15:07,750
Well, I better go.

406
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:09,166
Ok.

407
00:15:09,166 --> 00:15:10,959
Thanks for stopping by.

408
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:12,375
Yeah.

409
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:22,709
( door opens )

410
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:31,125
Hey. How'd it go?

411
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:31,959
He was fine.

412
00:15:31,959 --> 00:15:33,041
We made peace.

413
00:15:33,041 --> 00:15:34,333
Well, you are a much
better person than I am

414
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:35,834
because I'm still ready for war.

415
00:15:35,834 --> 00:15:37,417
Nobody messes
with my friends.

416
00:15:37,417 --> 00:15:39,250
I've been responding to comments
on his post for hours

417
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:41,041
just to work out
some aggression.

418
00:15:41,041 --> 00:15:42,583
Just let it go.

419
00:15:42,583 --> 00:15:43,583
If I can, you can.

420
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:44,500
You're right.

421
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:45,875
Absolutely right.

422
00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:57,917
You've already opened the laptop
again, haven't you?

423
00:15:57,917 --> 00:15:59,166
Yeah.

424
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:03,291
"Sounds like this Bad Date
Chronicle girl

425
00:16:03,291 --> 00:16:07,208
"needs to go on a date
with a real man"?

426
00:16:07,208 --> 00:16:10,583
I guess I can't expect more
from someone with a screen name

427
00:16:10,583 --> 00:16:14,125
of Muscleman1988,

428
00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:17,125
but maybe if you got out of
the gym every now and then

429
00:16:17,125 --> 00:16:22,166
you'd be able to deal with real
women instead of just girls.

Signed, FoodieFan86.

00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:40,959
Private chat?

433
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:47,542
Ok, singlesurfer87, what do
you want to say to me?

434
00:16:47,542 --> 00:16:51,208
"Foodiefan88 I couldn't
agree more.

435
00:16:51,208 --> 00:16:55,417
"Men like Muscleman88
give men a bad name.

00:16:55,417 --> 00:16:57,583

All of the above.

442
00:17:20,625 --> 00:17:21,709
Alison Richards.

443
00:17:21,709 --> 00:17:24,083
Still answering your own phone,
huh Alison?

444
00:17:24,083 --> 00:17:26,333
Trying to prove you're
a woman of the people?

445
00:17:26,333 --> 00:17:27,917
Milo Peters.

446
00:17:27,917 --> 00:17:30,291
How are things going over
at that little blog of yours?

447
00:17:30,291 --> 00:17:32,041
Not so little anymore.

448
00:17:32,041 --> 00:17:34,542
One of our posts just hit
15 million views.

449
00:17:34,542 --> 00:17:36,750
Really? I didn't know that
many people

450
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,667
in your target
audience could read.

451
00:17:38,667 --> 00:17:40,750
Apparently about a million more
than yours.

452
00:17:40,750 --> 00:17:42,625
It seems people are siding
with my trends guy

453
00:17:42,625 --> 00:17:44,333
over your bad date woman.

454
00:17:44,333 --> 00:17:45,625
No accounting for taste.

455
00:17:45,625 --> 00:17:48,458
Same old Alison,
beautiful but ruthless.

456
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:50,125
Same old Milo.

457
00:17:50,125 --> 00:17:52,041
Do women really fall
for that kind of line?

458
00:17:52,041 --> 00:17:52,750
You did.

459
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:53,917
Once.

460
00:17:53,917 --> 00:17:55,000
We went on one date.

461
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,291
It was horrible.

462
00:17:56,291 --> 00:17:57,250
It wasn't that bad.

463
00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:59,500
I have had surgeries
less painful.

464
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:01,750
Is there something I can do
for you, Milo?

465
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:04,500
Actually I was thinking we could
help each other.

466
00:18:06,625 --> 00:18:07,792
I'm listening.

467
00:18:07,792 --> 00:18:10,333
It's obvious these posts
are connecting with people,

468
00:18:10,333 --> 00:18:11,500
and I'm not gonna lie.

469
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:14,125
15 million views is the biggest
thing we've ever seen

470
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:18,583
and I'm guessing 14 million
is for you, too.

471
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:20,333
I can neither confirm
or deny that.

472
00:18:20,333 --> 00:18:21,458
You just did.

473
00:18:21,458 --> 00:18:23,959
So it seems it's in our
mutual best interest

474
00:18:23,959 --> 00:18:28,500
to try and keep
this thing going.

475
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:30,250
What did you have in mind?

476
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:31,250
You want me to what?

477
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:32,250
Go out with him again.

478
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:33,583
Like a do-over.

479
00:18:33,583 --> 00:18:35,041
A do-over?

480
00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:36,208
Woah, woah, woah.

481
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:37,750
Ok, Milo, let me get
this straight.

482
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:39,625
You, my boss, want me,
your employee,

483
00:18:39,625 --> 00:18:41,166
to go out with a girl for work?

484
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,542
I'm not asking you
to marry her,

485
00:18:42,542 --> 00:18:44,291
just go out for dinner with her
once or twice.

486
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:44,834
Wait, wha-

487
00:18:44,834 --> 00:18:45,750
twice?

488
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:46,917
Let's make it three times.

489
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:48,458
You want me to go on
three dates with him?

490
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:51,000
Leigh, look at it like
public service.

491
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,875
Your dates help our readers,
good or bad.

492
00:18:53,875 --> 00:18:56,125
Yes, and then you both write
your respective columns.

493
00:18:56,125 --> 00:18:57,250
You want me to review my date?

494
00:18:57,250 --> 00:18:59,041
However it turns out,
good or bad.

495
00:18:59,041 --> 00:19:00,291
Besides, Conner,

496
00:19:00,291 --> 00:19:02,083
this is the kind of thing
that could make your career.

497
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:03,208
I mean, come on.

498
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:06,125
This is styles and trends,
and this is definitely trending.

499
00:19:06,125 --> 00:19:08,834
We're talking national
attention here.

500
00:19:08,834 --> 00:19:10,625
You don't want to be editing
The Bad Date Chronicles

501
00:19:10,625 --> 00:19:12,208
for the rest of your life,
do you?

502
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:13,417
I want to be a news editor.

503
00:19:13,417 --> 00:19:14,542
Serious content.

504
00:19:14,542 --> 00:19:16,625
I don't see how this gets me
any closer to that.

505
00:19:16,625 --> 00:19:18,250
Well, you just happen to be
talking to somebody

506
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:20,208
that hires editors.

507
00:19:21,875 --> 00:19:24,333
She's expecting your call.

508
00:19:24,333 --> 00:19:25,625
He'll call you.

509
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,250
Thank you.

510
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,250
( laughs )

511
00:20:01,709 --> 00:20:03,667
You are not going
to believe this.

512
00:20:03,667 --> 00:20:05,166
I don't believe it.

513
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:06,208
Are you gonna do it?

514
00:20:06,208 --> 00:20:07,792
I don't know if I have
a choice.

515
00:20:07,792 --> 00:20:09,709
She can't make you go out
on a date with him.

516
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:10,667
Three dates.

517
00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:12,834
And yes she can,
she's our boss!

518
00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:14,583
I mean obviously I'd love
for my career to be bigger

519
00:20:14,583 --> 00:20:16,667
but I don't know if this is
the way I want it to happen.

520
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:17,834
Well, maybe it won't be
so bad.

521
00:20:17,834 --> 00:20:19,709
I mean, you said you kinda
made up with her, right?

522
00:20:19,709 --> 00:20:21,291
I only went over there
because I was convinced

523
00:20:21,291 --> 00:20:24,000
I'd never have to see him again.

524
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,333
( sighs )

525
00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:27,667
Ugh.

526
00:20:42,625 --> 00:20:45,166
You are such a creature
of habit.

527
00:20:45,166 --> 00:20:48,000
Same coffee shop, same time,

528
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,917
and I'm guessing same coffee,
yep.

529
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:52,959
I don't come here every day.

530
00:20:52,959 --> 00:20:55,834
Alison, I worked with you
for over two years.

531
00:20:55,834 --> 00:20:59,667
You think there isn't a single
thing I don't know about you?

532
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:00,625
What do you want, Milo?

533
00:21:00,625 --> 00:21:03,041
Well, just checking in,
seeing if you're ready

534
00:21:03,041 --> 00:21:05,417
for our big date tonight.

535
00:21:05,417 --> 00:21:07,417
Oh, is that tonight?

536
00:21:07,417 --> 00:21:09,208
Let me guess, you forgot
all about it?

537
00:21:09,208 --> 00:21:11,166
Totally slipped my mind.

538
00:21:11,166 --> 00:21:12,834
Well, maybe we need to make this

539
00:21:12,834 --> 00:21:15,834
a little bit more interesting
for you then.

540
00:21:15,834 --> 00:21:18,750
Go on.

541
00:21:18,750 --> 00:21:22,000
I'm thinking a little wager.

542
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,959
Whoever gets the most
post views wins.

543
00:21:24,959 --> 00:21:26,125
Wins what?

544
00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:27,542
One dollar.

545
00:21:27,542 --> 00:21:30,000
Oh, times a little tough
over at Peters Post?

546
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,500
It's symbolic,
because I think losing

547
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:38,458
will drive you crazy
no matter what it is.

548
00:21:38,458 --> 00:21:41,458
Ok, you're on.

549
00:21:41,458 --> 00:21:42,458
But no interference.

550
00:21:42,458 --> 00:21:43,375
What do you mean?

551
00:21:43,375 --> 00:21:45,291
Well, it's in our interest
for these dates to go poorly.

552
00:21:45,291 --> 00:21:46,583
Whatever happens, happens.

553
00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:49,000
We stay out of it.

554
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,500
Deal.

555
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,125
So do you know where
they're going tonight?

556
00:21:53,125 --> 00:21:54,750
Hmm.

557
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:56,917
It's a do-over date so I believe
they're heading back

558
00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:59,834
to the scene of the crime,
Il Tempo.

559
00:21:59,834 --> 00:22:01,166
And who's idea was that?

560
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:02,500
You know, I'd like
my dollar bill

561
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:06,041
to have nice, crisp,
sharp corners.

562
00:22:06,041 --> 00:22:07,333
Please and thank you.

563
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:09,667
Enjoy your coffee.

564
00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:12,041
I will.

565
00:22:27,083 --> 00:22:29,041
You have nothing to eat.

566
00:22:29,041 --> 00:22:30,041
Well, you invited yourself over,

567
00:22:30,041 --> 00:22:31,458
you should have brought
your own food.

568
00:22:31,458 --> 00:22:32,250
Which tie?

569
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:32,959
For what?

570
00:22:32,959 --> 00:22:35,750
The job interview you have
to go on if you mess this up?

571
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:36,792
How is that helpful?

572
00:22:36,792 --> 00:22:38,667
Just relax, you know.

573
00:22:38,667 --> 00:22:40,542
Try and be yourself.

574
00:22:40,542 --> 00:22:42,291
You always know what to say.

575
00:22:42,291 --> 00:22:43,041
Ok, look.

576
00:22:43,041 --> 00:22:44,125
If absolutely nothing else,

577
00:22:44,125 --> 00:22:46,875
just view this as like practice,
you know?

578
00:22:46,875 --> 00:22:48,917
It's been a long time
since Amy.

579
00:22:48,917 --> 00:22:50,458
Yeah, well, it takes a while
to get over

580
00:22:50,458 --> 00:22:52,208
having your heart stomped on.

581
00:22:52,208 --> 00:22:54,250
But you're dating again,
so that's progress.

582
00:22:54,250 --> 00:22:54,959
No, no, no.

583
00:22:54,959 --> 00:22:55,792
This is not a date, Brad.

584
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,959
This is being forced by
my boss to go out for dinner

585
00:22:57,959 --> 00:23:00,583
with a woman for work,
and you know what?

586
00:23:00,583 --> 00:23:02,208
I feel cheap.

587
00:23:02,208 --> 00:23:03,750
Yeah, ok, that is
a little weird,

588
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:06,625
but that first one, that,
that was a real date.

589
00:23:06,625 --> 00:23:08,208
And look how that turned out.

590
00:23:08,208 --> 00:23:10,625
Ok, I'm ready.

591
00:23:10,625 --> 00:23:11,792
Wish me luck.

592
00:23:11,792 --> 00:23:12,583
You don't need luck.

593
00:23:12,583 --> 00:23:13,417
Oh, thanks man.

594
00:23:13,417 --> 00:23:14,417
I meant all you have to do

595
00:23:14,417 --> 00:23:16,083
is just not set someone else
on fire.

596
00:23:16,083 --> 00:23:17,834
It's kind of a low bar,
you know?

597
00:23:17,834 --> 00:23:18,959
( laughs )

598
00:23:18,959 --> 00:23:20,709
Don't forget, she writes BAD
Date Chronicles.

599
00:23:20,709 --> 00:23:23,125
Very funny.

600
00:23:23,125 --> 00:23:24,959
Wish you had some food.

601
00:23:33,583 --> 00:23:35,333
How do I look?

602
00:23:35,333 --> 00:23:36,959
Perfect.

603
00:23:36,959 --> 00:23:39,083
It's a little chilly though,
do you want to borrow a sweater?

604
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:40,083
Is it fireproof?

605
00:23:40,083 --> 00:23:41,417
Right. Sorry.

606
00:23:41,417 --> 00:23:42,709
Never mind.

607
00:23:42,709 --> 00:23:44,208
I can't believe I'm so nervous.

608
00:23:44,208 --> 00:23:45,500
It's not even a real date.

609
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:46,792
I'm sure it'll be fine.

610
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:48,291
Maybe you'll even have some fun.

611
00:23:48,291 --> 00:23:51,250
Fun, on a date,
does that ever happen?

612
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:53,917
Wow, he really did a number
on you, didn't he?

613
00:23:53,917 --> 00:23:55,417
Who?

614
00:23:55,417 --> 00:23:56,542
You know...

615
00:23:56,542 --> 00:23:57,458
Oh.

616
00:23:57,458 --> 00:23:58,917
Yeah.

617
00:23:58,917 --> 00:24:01,667
Well, he broke my heart.

618
00:24:01,667 --> 00:24:03,041
Actually, it was more than that.

619
00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:07,583
He made me feel like...
like I wasn't good enough.

620
00:24:07,583 --> 00:24:09,792
But you are, you know.

621
00:24:09,792 --> 00:24:11,583
You're amazing.

622
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:12,667
Stop it.

623
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:13,792
You're gonna make
my mascara run

624
00:24:13,792 --> 00:24:17,917
and you know how much
I hate female clichés.

625
00:24:17,917 --> 00:24:19,625
Call me if you need
to be rescued.

626
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:21,917
Or, you know, if he wrecks
the date on purpose.

627
00:24:21,917 --> 00:24:23,834
Thanks for that.

628
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:41,291
Hi.

629
00:24:41,291 --> 00:24:41,959
Hello.

630
00:24:41,959 --> 00:24:42,875
You're here.

631
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:44,458
You sound surprised.

632
00:24:44,458 --> 00:24:45,542
Sorry.

633
00:24:45,542 --> 00:24:47,667
This is a little uh... weird,
huh?

634
00:24:47,667 --> 00:24:48,834
Yeah. Very weird.

635
00:24:48,834 --> 00:24:50,166
I mean, I've been set-up
by co-workers before

636
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:51,458
but this is ridiculous.

637
00:24:51,458 --> 00:24:53,125
Exactly. Yeah.

638
00:24:54,208 --> 00:24:55,917
Well, shall we?

639
00:24:55,917 --> 00:24:57,834
Oh, we have a reservation?

640
00:24:57,834 --> 00:25:00,458
Uh, I sounded surprised again,
didn't I?

641
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:01,834
I heard it that time.

642
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,208
Sorry.

643
00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:05,208
I'm going to see if our table
is ready.

644
00:25:06,959 --> 00:25:07,709
Good evening, sir.

645
00:25:07,709 --> 00:25:08,667
How may I assist you?

646
00:25:08,667 --> 00:25:09,709
Hi. Hi.

647
00:25:09,709 --> 00:25:12,458
I have a reservation for 8:30.

648
00:25:12,458 --> 00:25:14,667
Conner Michaels.

649
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:16,417
Uh, yes.

650
00:25:16,417 --> 00:25:17,875
Here it is.

651
00:25:17,875 --> 00:25:19,792
Table for two.

652
00:25:19,792 --> 00:25:21,542
9:45pm.

653
00:25:21,542 --> 00:25:22,792
No. No, no, no.

654
00:25:22,792 --> 00:25:24,959
I made the reservation
for 8:30.

655
00:25:24,959 --> 00:25:25,792
No, sir.

656
00:25:25,792 --> 00:25:27,250
See, it was 8:30.

657
00:25:27,250 --> 00:25:29,750
It was moved to 9:45pm.

658
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:31,000
Moved by who?

659
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,709
Well, I'm sure I don't know,
sir.

660
00:25:32,709 --> 00:25:36,208
( phone rings )

661
00:25:36,208 --> 00:25:37,959
Il Tempo.

662
00:25:41,208 --> 00:25:43,375
Trying to tank the date.

663
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:45,041
Ok.

664
00:25:45,041 --> 00:25:46,333
Ok, I see how it is.

665
00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:47,500
Hi.

666
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,917
What will it take to move
the reservation to 8:30?

667
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:03,500
( message alert )

668
00:26:06,333 --> 00:26:10,291
Private message
from singlesurfer87.

669
00:26:10,291 --> 00:26:13,125
"What do you think
of the recipe?"

670
00:26:13,125 --> 00:26:15,000
I'm not done yet.

671
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,834
The pasta is still boiling.

672
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:24,166
"This is my family's
secret recipe.

673
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:28,291
"If you mess it up I'll never
forgive myself for sharing it."

674
00:26:28,291 --> 00:26:31,333
Well, then stop
chatting me.

675
00:26:31,333 --> 00:26:35,500
I can't type and cook
at the same time.

676
00:26:37,792 --> 00:26:40,333
( message alert )

677
00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:42,125
"You've got two hands."

678
00:26:42,125 --> 00:26:43,583
( laughs )

679
00:27:02,333 --> 00:27:04,291
Thank you.

680
00:27:04,291 --> 00:27:06,125
Do you think they remember us?

681
00:27:09,375 --> 00:27:10,875
I'm thinking yes.

682
00:27:13,417 --> 00:27:15,542
So.

683
00:27:15,542 --> 00:27:18,625
So.

684
00:27:18,625 --> 00:27:21,208
I- I literally have no idea
what to say right now.

685
00:27:21,208 --> 00:27:24,041
Yeah, me neither.

686
00:27:24,041 --> 00:27:25,041
I have a question.

687
00:27:25,041 --> 00:27:26,542
Can I ask you something?

688
00:27:26,542 --> 00:27:28,125
Sure.

689
00:27:28,125 --> 00:27:31,417
Did you- and look, don't take
this the wrong way, but...

690
00:27:31,417 --> 00:27:32,500
did you want to do this?

691
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,333
This whole he said
she said date thing?

692
00:27:35,333 --> 00:27:38,166
Well, I- I mean, I thought
it was a cute idea.

693
00:27:38,166 --> 00:27:39,250
But it wasn't your idea.

694
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:41,041
No.

695
00:27:41,041 --> 00:27:44,125
I didn't mean for that to sound
so emphatic.

696
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,083
No, it's ok.

697
00:27:45,083 --> 00:27:46,291
Look, it wasn't my idea, either.

698
00:27:46,291 --> 00:27:47,417
It was my boss.

699
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:48,083
It wasn't me!

700
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:49,375
It was all Alison.

701
00:27:49,375 --> 00:27:50,375
So you didn't want to be here,
either?

702
00:27:50,375 --> 00:27:53,375
No! And I did mean to say
that emphatically.

703
00:27:53,375 --> 00:27:55,542
Well, then, there-
look at that.

704
00:27:55,542 --> 00:27:56,625
We both have something
in common.

705
00:27:56,625 --> 00:27:58,333
Neither of us wants to be
on this date.

706
00:27:58,333 --> 00:27:59,583
And we both have crazy bosses.

707
00:27:59,583 --> 00:28:00,250
You know what?

708
00:28:00,250 --> 00:28:01,375
I will drink to that.

709
00:28:01,375 --> 00:28:02,041
Cheers.

710
00:28:02,041 --> 00:28:03,458
Cheers.

711
00:28:06,375 --> 00:28:07,166
Yes, you're in luck.

712
00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:09,083
Something just opened up
in three months.

713
00:28:09,083 --> 00:28:10,250
Mmmhmm.

714
00:28:10,250 --> 00:28:11,458
Ok.

715
00:28:11,458 --> 00:28:14,250
Alright, I'll talk to you soon.

716
00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:15,125
May I help you, sir?

717
00:28:15,125 --> 00:28:16,667
What? Oh, no, I'm good.

718
00:28:20,875 --> 00:28:22,417
Actually, do you mind
maybe just...

719
00:28:22,417 --> 00:28:25,250
just a little to your left?

720
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:26,250
Hmm.

721
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:27,709
Yes, I do mind.

722
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,542
( phone rings )

723
00:28:34,542 --> 00:28:37,500
You're not the only one
who can talk on a phone.

724
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,250
Milo speaking.

725
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:42,625
Milo, are you interrupting
Leigh and Conner's date?

726
00:28:42,625 --> 00:28:43,959
What? No, of course not.

727
00:28:43,959 --> 00:28:44,750
Really?

728
00:28:44,750 --> 00:28:46,917
The maître d' obviously thinks
you are.

729
00:29:01,417 --> 00:29:02,542
What are you doing here?

730
00:29:02,542 --> 00:29:03,667
What are YOU doing here?

731
00:29:03,667 --> 00:29:05,166
Protecting my investment.

732
00:29:05,166 --> 00:29:06,583
From the lobby?

733
00:29:06,583 --> 00:29:08,208
I'm surprised you don't have
a table here.

734
00:29:08,208 --> 00:29:08,917
I did.

735
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:11,041
They weren't supposed
to be seated this early.

736
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:12,500
You changed the reservation.

737
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:13,667
I don't know what
you're talking about.

738
00:29:13,667 --> 00:29:14,750
What else did you do?

739
00:29:14,750 --> 00:29:15,959
Nothing.

740
00:29:18,166 --> 00:29:20,792
What did you do?

741
00:29:20,792 --> 00:29:22,375
Nothing.

742
00:29:26,750 --> 00:29:28,709
You look amazing,
by the way.

743
00:29:28,709 --> 00:29:31,959
Thank you.

744
00:29:31,959 --> 00:29:33,166
I like the suit.

745
00:29:33,166 --> 00:29:36,000
Thank you. It's Italian.

746
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,792
Anyway, I need to use
the ladies' room.

747
00:29:38,792 --> 00:29:40,041
Oh, good.

748
00:29:40,041 --> 00:29:43,500
Because I have to go
to the lit-

749
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:44,333
I have to go to the car.

750
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:46,041
For something in the car.

751
00:30:04,959 --> 00:30:06,375
( message alert )

752
00:30:38,834 --> 00:30:40,208
So I guess we should do
all the first date stuff

753
00:30:40,208 --> 00:30:42,458
that we didn't get to do
last time, right?

754
00:30:42,458 --> 00:30:43,041
Right.

755
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:44,875
Like where we're from,
family,

756
00:30:44,875 --> 00:30:46,709
how long we've lived here
type stuff.

757
00:30:46,709 --> 00:30:47,500
The basics.

758
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,125
Ok, well, I'm from-

759
00:30:49,125 --> 00:30:50,583
( phone rings )

760
00:30:50,583 --> 00:30:55,208
Sorry, I- I forgot to turn
the ringer off.

761
00:30:55,208 --> 00:30:56,875
Oh, no, go ahead.

762
00:31:00,583 --> 00:31:01,333
Right.

763
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:02,667
Well, uh, I am from-

764
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:04,041
( phone vibrating )

765
00:31:04,041 --> 00:31:05,583
Sorry.

766
00:31:06,542 --> 00:31:08,792
I'm sorry, I'm- I'm just
gonna turn it off.

767
00:31:13,917 --> 00:31:15,625
Ok, we should- we should
be good now.

768
00:31:15,625 --> 00:31:16,583
So, you were saying?

769
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,333
Yes, I was saying
that I'm from-

770
00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:21,917
Miss Ryness, there's a call
for you at the front desk.

771
00:31:21,917 --> 00:31:22,750
Really?

772
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,250
Mmmhmm.

773
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:26,667
That's... that's weird.

774
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:28,709
I better take it.

775
00:31:28,709 --> 00:31:30,000
Of course. Go ahead.

776
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,709
Right this way.

777
00:31:36,417 --> 00:31:37,458
There you are.

778
00:31:37,458 --> 00:31:39,625
Thanks.

779
00:31:39,625 --> 00:31:40,875
Hello?

780
00:31:41,959 --> 00:31:43,625
Hello?

781
00:31:43,625 --> 00:31:44,500
Excuse me?

782
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,375
There's nobody there.

783
00:31:46,375 --> 00:31:47,667
Really?

784
00:31:47,667 --> 00:31:48,917
There was just a moment ago.

785
00:31:48,917 --> 00:31:51,417
Said it was your brother,
and that it was urgent.

786
00:31:51,417 --> 00:31:52,917
I don't have a brother.

787
00:31:52,917 --> 00:31:54,667
Hmm.

788
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:57,208
I don't suppose he said his name
was Brad, did he?

789
00:31:57,208 --> 00:31:58,875
He didn't leave a name.

790
00:31:58,875 --> 00:32:00,542
Excuse me.

791
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:10,542
So.

792
00:32:10,542 --> 00:32:13,166
You need this date to go bad
too, huh?

793
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:15,083
I'm onto you, buddy.

794
00:32:19,875 --> 00:32:21,166
A call from her brother.

795
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:23,417
Mmmhmm. I see.

796
00:32:23,417 --> 00:32:26,291
I have no idea what you're
talking about.

797
00:32:26,291 --> 00:32:28,542
Ok, this means war.

798
00:32:39,917 --> 00:32:41,834
( gasps )

799
00:32:48,583 --> 00:32:50,750
( breathing heavily )

800
00:33:03,083 --> 00:33:04,875
Well, this has been...

801
00:33:04,875 --> 00:33:07,583
Yeah, just...

802
00:33:07,583 --> 00:33:08,792
Maybe we should...

803
00:33:08,792 --> 00:33:09,917
I think so.

804
00:33:09,917 --> 00:33:10,875
But hey, look at it this way.

805
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:13,083
At least nothing burst
into flames.

806
00:33:13,083 --> 00:33:16,709
Sir, as requested,
our signature dessert.

807
00:33:16,709 --> 00:33:18,333
Dessert?

808
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:20,208
Dessert?

809
00:33:20,625 --> 00:33:22,834
Yes. Cherries jubilee.

810
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:24,917
( cries out )

811
00:33:26,959 --> 00:33:28,500
( laughing )

812
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,208
Oh man.

813
00:33:31,208 --> 00:33:32,291
"I'm not 100 percent sure

814
00:33:32,291 --> 00:33:34,875
"but I think he might be
trying to kill me.

815
00:33:34,875 --> 00:33:38,917
"I should check my will to make
sure he's not a beneficiary."

816
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:42,125
Wow. This is worse
than the original.

817
00:33:42,125 --> 00:33:43,333
I didn't order that dessert.

818
00:33:43,333 --> 00:33:44,625
This is so great.

819
00:33:44,625 --> 00:33:45,667
Great? Why is it great?

820
00:33:45,667 --> 00:33:48,792
Because your version has
twice as many hits as hers does.

821
00:33:48,792 --> 00:33:49,500
We're winning.

822
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:50,500
It's totally worth the effort.

823
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:51,834
What effort?

824
00:33:51,834 --> 00:33:55,125
The effort... it takes to build
a company

825
00:33:55,125 --> 00:33:57,667
and hire brilliant editors
like you guys.

826
00:33:57,667 --> 00:34:00,792
Good stuff.

827
00:34:00,792 --> 00:34:02,792
Well, that was weird.

828
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:04,125
Yeah, this is weird.

829
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:06,083
In your blog you said

830
00:34:06,083 --> 00:34:08,417
"I have no way of proving
that she sets of fake calls

831
00:34:08,417 --> 00:34:09,667
"to interrupt the date,

832
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:13,041
"but if a bad date plot fits,
wear it."

833
00:34:13,041 --> 00:34:14,375
You really think she had her
roommate page her

834
00:34:14,375 --> 00:34:15,333
at the front desk?

835
00:34:15,333 --> 00:34:17,667
I don't know who else
it could have been.

836
00:34:23,208 --> 00:34:26,166
MyraB wants to know
why Conner hates women.

837
00:34:26,166 --> 00:34:27,417
Who's MyraB?

838
00:34:27,417 --> 00:34:29,542
One of the people commenting
on your article.

839
00:34:29,542 --> 00:34:30,542
Why are you reading those?

840
00:34:30,542 --> 00:34:32,709
Everyone who posts
on there is crazy.

841
00:34:32,709 --> 00:34:33,959
They're not all crazy.

842
00:34:33,959 --> 00:34:35,083
Well, I'll tell you what
is crazy.

843
00:34:35,083 --> 00:34:36,542
That Conner really thinks
I did all this

844
00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:38,375
just to make the date go badly.

845
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:39,458
I think the operative word

846
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:42,041
in the title Bad Date
Chronicles is "bad".

847
00:34:42,041 --> 00:34:43,291
Besides, it's what you said
he did.

848
00:34:43,291 --> 00:34:44,583
I know that's what he did.

849
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:46,792
Maybe he's trying
to divert suspicion.

850
00:34:46,792 --> 00:34:47,709
This is ridiculous!

851
00:34:47,709 --> 00:34:49,083
I went through all of that
and he's still getting

852
00:34:49,083 --> 00:34:50,917
more views than I am.

853
00:34:50,917 --> 00:34:52,250
How's Alison taking it?

854
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:53,583
She's ready to explode.

855
00:34:53,583 --> 00:34:55,583
If I don't find a way to get
the page views up somehow,

856
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:57,709
I don't know what
she's gonna do.

857
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:05,458
Alison Richards.

858
00:35:05,458 --> 00:35:06,542
Double or nothing?

859
00:35:07,959 --> 00:35:09,583
You're on.

860
00:35:29,709 --> 00:35:31,458
Hi.

861
00:35:31,458 --> 00:35:33,375
Your office said I could find
you here.

862
00:35:33,375 --> 00:35:34,500
I'm uh, I'm Brad.

863
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:35,750
Conner's friend.

864
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:37,291
I remember who you are.

865
00:35:37,291 --> 00:35:39,083
If you're looking for Leigh
she's not here.

866
00:35:39,083 --> 00:35:39,834
I'm not here to talk to Leigh,

867
00:35:39,834 --> 00:35:40,959
I'm here to talk to you.

868
00:35:40,959 --> 00:35:41,709
Why?

869
00:35:41,709 --> 00:35:43,583
Because you're the one
helping Leigh tank their dates.

870
00:35:43,583 --> 00:35:44,625
What are you talking about?

871
00:35:44,625 --> 00:35:45,959
I haven't tanked anything.

872
00:35:45,959 --> 00:35:47,709
Oh, so that wasn't you
calling her a hundred times?

873
00:35:47,709 --> 00:35:48,834
Of course not.

874
00:35:51,041 --> 00:35:52,875
Their second date is tonight.

875
00:35:52,875 --> 00:35:55,083
All I'm asking is that
you just stay out of it.

876
00:35:55,083 --> 00:35:56,125
I'm not in it.

877
00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:57,208
Maybe you should stay
out of it.

878
00:35:57,208 --> 00:35:59,542
Maybe you're the one
making Conner look bad.

879
00:35:59,542 --> 00:36:03,041
Look. I know you
don't like Conner

880
00:36:03,041 --> 00:36:11,291
but he's actually a really good
guy and he's been hurt, ok?

881
00:36:11,291 --> 00:36:15,125
His last relationship was...

882
00:36:15,125 --> 00:36:16,208
it took him a really long time

883
00:36:16,208 --> 00:36:21,208
to where he felt like
he could trust anyone, so...

884
00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:25,000
just stay out of it. Ok?

885
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,625
Leigh was hurt, too.

886
00:36:27,625 --> 00:36:31,083
So bad that she won't even
let me say his name around her.

887
00:36:31,083 --> 00:36:34,959
The Bad Date Chronicles
isn't just a job for her.

888
00:36:34,959 --> 00:36:38,709
It's her way of feeling
a little less... alone.

889
00:36:40,625 --> 00:36:42,583
I'm sorry to hear that.

890
00:36:42,583 --> 00:36:43,875
I'm sorry, too.

891
00:36:43,875 --> 00:36:44,917
For him.

892
00:36:44,917 --> 00:36:47,458
Just let them have their date.
Ok?

893
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,667
I really need to find a new
place to go for coffee.

894
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:13,333
When are you gonna let this feud
between us go?

895
00:37:13,333 --> 00:37:15,583
When you admit what you did.

896
00:37:15,583 --> 00:37:16,667
What did I do?

897
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:17,750
You know.

898
00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:19,000
What?

899
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,166
Start my own company?

900
00:37:20,166 --> 00:37:21,625
Want something for myself?

901
00:37:21,625 --> 00:37:24,000
Is this what you've been angry
about for the last couple years?

902
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,834
Why did you come here, Milo?

903
00:37:25,834 --> 00:37:30,000
Well, I was re-reading our
blog postings, both of them,

904
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,834
and I was actually feeling
a little bit...

905
00:37:34,834 --> 00:37:36,667
guilty about what we did.

906
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,041
You? Guilty?

907
00:37:39,041 --> 00:37:41,875
Is this being recorded for
one of those prank shows?

908
00:37:41,875 --> 00:37:43,959
Alison, I'm serious.

909
00:37:43,959 --> 00:37:46,750
Look, our sites may not be
New York Times,

910
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:50,083
but should still have some level
of journalistic integrity,

911
00:37:50,083 --> 00:37:51,041
don't you think?

912
00:37:51,041 --> 00:37:53,208
Messing with the love lives
of two innocent people

913
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:54,458
for our own personal gain

914
00:37:54,458 --> 00:37:56,917
is about as far from integrity
as you can get.

915
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:04,000
I hate it when you're right.

916
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,542
So tonight the date goes
how it goes,

917
00:38:08,542 --> 00:38:11,750
good or bad, we stay out of it.

918
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:13,500
Agreed?

919
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,166
Agreed.

920
00:38:16,458 --> 00:38:19,542
You know you're beautiful
when you compromise.

921
00:38:19,542 --> 00:38:21,291
Go away.

922
00:38:21,291 --> 00:38:23,250
Enjoy your coffee.

923
00:38:33,333 --> 00:38:34,041
This is insane.

924
00:38:34,041 --> 00:38:35,375
He's just gonna try to mess
with me again

925
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:36,542
like he did last time.

926
00:38:36,542 --> 00:38:38,041
Well, then you mess
with him first.

927
00:38:38,041 --> 00:38:40,625
Yeah, but doesn't that make
me just as bad as he is?

928
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:41,834
Leigh, you have to make
a choice.

929
00:38:41,834 --> 00:38:46,291
Either take control or stay
here and hang out on the couch.

930
00:38:46,291 --> 00:38:48,834
Our couch is really comfortable.

931
00:38:48,834 --> 00:38:52,041
Take control. Ok?

932
00:38:52,041 --> 00:38:53,792
Ok.

933
00:38:57,959 --> 00:38:59,709
I don't know what you're
so freaked out about.

934
00:38:59,709 --> 00:39:00,500
I'm going out on a date
with someone

935
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:01,834
who thinks I'm trying
to kill her.

936
00:39:01,834 --> 00:39:03,166
She doesn't really think that,

937
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:05,583
she just thinks you're trying
to sabotage your dates.

938
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:08,458
You know what,
maybe you should

939
00:39:08,458 --> 00:39:09,041
What? Why?

940
00:39:09,041 --> 00:39:10,041
Because otherwise
you're gonna end up

941
00:39:10,041 --> 00:39:13,709
playing defense all night.

942
00:39:13,709 --> 00:39:17,417
Don't let her take advantage
of you like...

943
00:39:17,417 --> 00:39:19,417
Like Amy did.

944
00:39:19,417 --> 00:39:20,250
Yeah.

945
00:39:22,917 --> 00:39:25,542
You know what?

946
00:39:25,542 --> 00:39:27,375
No more playing defense.

947
00:39:40,458 --> 00:39:42,208
( simultaneous ) Sorry I'm late.

948
00:39:42,208 --> 00:39:42,959
I just got here.

949
00:39:42,959 --> 00:39:44,083
Yeah, so did I.

950
00:39:44,083 --> 00:39:45,500
So we're both late.

951
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:48,834
Yeah, we missed the start
of the movie.

952
00:39:48,834 --> 00:39:50,709
Ok, so what's plan B?

953
00:39:50,709 --> 00:39:51,750
Well, I mean, I was thinking
we could take

954
00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:53,333
a paddle boat ride
on the lake.

955
00:39:53,333 --> 00:39:57,041
Lake? No, no lakes.

956
00:39:57,041 --> 00:39:59,083
Uh, maybe we could
just get coffee?

957
00:39:59,083 --> 00:40:00,000
Oh, coffee huh?

958
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,875
A room full of hot liquids?

959
00:40:00,875 --> 00:40:03,000
No, no, no. I don't think so.

960
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,542
But there is a bar around
the corner that has karaoke.

961
00:40:05,542 --> 00:40:07,083
So I can embarrass myself
in public?

962
00:40:07,083 --> 00:40:08,333
No thank you.

963
00:40:08,333 --> 00:40:09,333
Ice skating?

964
00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:11,041
No, I don't want to end up
in a cast, no, no.

965
00:40:11,041 --> 00:40:13,375
So what're we gonna do?

966
00:40:13,375 --> 00:40:14,917
Maybe we could just...

967
00:40:14,917 --> 00:40:18,834
I don't know, go for a walk
or something?

968
00:40:18,834 --> 00:40:20,333
A walk?

969
00:40:20,333 --> 00:40:22,625
It'd be fun.

970
00:40:22,625 --> 00:40:24,000
Ok.

971
00:40:26,458 --> 00:40:27,500
Yeah.

972
00:41:02,166 --> 00:41:03,333
Woah.

973
00:41:59,792 --> 00:42:02,000
So how'd you get involved
with Bad Date Chronicles?

974
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,709
Uh, happenstance mainly.

975
00:42:04,709 --> 00:42:07,250
I got hired to be a copy editor
for the site

976
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:09,208
but then I had this really,
really epic break-up

977
00:42:09,208 --> 00:42:10,750
around the time they were
looking for someone

978
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:12,542
to run the blog.

979
00:42:12,542 --> 00:42:13,834
It seemed like a natural fit.

980
00:42:13,834 --> 00:42:15,917
Had a few bad dates yourself,
huh?

981
00:42:15,917 --> 00:42:17,792
I mean, other than ours.

982
00:42:17,792 --> 00:42:20,500
More like bad relationships.

983
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:22,625
I kinda just wanted to forget
about it.

984
00:42:22,625 --> 00:42:24,667
Work on something happy
and upbeat

985
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:25,959
but the site didn't have a blog

986
00:42:25,959 --> 00:42:27,917
for puppies and rainbows,
so...

987
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:34,667
How about you and trends?

988
00:42:34,667 --> 00:42:36,041
You know, in a way
it was the same thing.

989
00:42:36,041 --> 00:42:38,542
I was writing a sports blog,
went through a bad break-up

990
00:42:38,542 --> 00:42:42,792
and just decided that I needed
to write about something else.

991
00:42:42,792 --> 00:42:44,125
Why?

992
00:42:44,125 --> 00:42:45,792
Oh, did I not tell you that
she was a sports caster

993
00:42:45,792 --> 00:42:47,166
of a local TV station?

994
00:42:47,166 --> 00:42:49,917
Ah. Continue.

995
00:42:49,917 --> 00:42:52,375
So my college buddy, Brad,
hooked me up with this gig

996
00:42:52,375 --> 00:42:55,041
at The Peters Post by telling
them that I was super trendy

997
00:42:55,041 --> 00:42:58,125
and cutting edge on
all the latest everything.

998
00:42:58,125 --> 00:42:59,125
And you weren't?

999
00:42:59,125 --> 00:43:02,291
No. No, my car was seven years
old and I had the same haircut

1000
00:43:02,291 --> 00:43:03,250
since I was 15.

1001
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:04,834
( laughs )

1002
00:43:04,834 --> 00:43:06,792
You know that saying
"fake it 'til you make it"?

1003
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:07,667
Yes.

1004
00:43:07,667 --> 00:43:09,542
Yeah, well, I was really good
at faking it.

1005
00:43:09,542 --> 00:43:11,875
( laughs )

1006
00:43:11,875 --> 00:43:14,250
So I guess our break-ups
were good for something.

1007
00:43:14,250 --> 00:43:15,583
They got us jobs.

1008
00:43:15,583 --> 00:43:16,875
Yeah, I guess they did.

1009
00:43:16,875 --> 00:43:17,875
( Conner ): I mean, there's
that whole

1010
00:43:17,875 --> 00:43:21,333
nability to trust anyone"
g to balance it out, but...

1011
00:43:21,333 --> 00:43:22,709
( Leigh ): So you want to give
ice skating a try?

1012
00:43:22,709 --> 00:43:25,250
( Conner ): I will
if you will.

1013
00:43:25,250 --> 00:43:25,875
( knocking )

1014
00:43:25,875 --> 00:43:26,667
( gasps )

1015
00:43:30,792 --> 00:43:32,083
So much for integrity.

1016
00:43:32,083 --> 00:43:33,500
I was just watching.

1017
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:34,500
What are you doing here?

1018
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:38,333
Same. 15 million views
at stake here.

1019
00:43:38,333 --> 00:43:39,709
Well, we don't have to worry
about that anymore.

1020
00:43:39,709 --> 00:43:42,208
These two are on the most
boring date ever.

1021
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:43,375
They're on a walk-and-talk.

1022
00:43:43,375 --> 00:43:44,375
I mean, come on!

1023
00:43:44,375 --> 00:43:46,417
This is not Bad Date Chronicle
worthy.

1024
00:43:46,417 --> 00:43:47,041
But what do we do?

1025
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:48,500
We agreed not to interfere.

1026
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:50,500
Yes, we did.

1027
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:51,625
Because that

1028
00:43:51,625 --> 00:43:53,417
( simultaneous )
would be bad.

1029
00:43:53,417 --> 00:43:54,583
Yeah.

1030
00:43:58,834 --> 00:44:00,625
Although...

1031
00:44:00,625 --> 00:44:01,750
I'm listening.

1032
00:44:01,750 --> 00:44:04,417
A bad date is not just
in our best interest,

1033
00:44:04,417 --> 00:44:05,625
it's also in theirs.

1034
00:44:05,625 --> 00:44:06,542
Go on.

1035
00:44:06,542 --> 00:44:09,709
A bad date means
more page views,

1036
00:44:09,709 --> 00:44:12,834
which means higher profile,

1037
00:44:12,834 --> 00:44:16,166
which means better jobs
and more money for them.

1038
00:44:16,166 --> 00:44:17,792
This could be their
first step towards

1039
00:44:17,792 --> 00:44:19,583
starting their own
online magazine.

1040
00:44:19,583 --> 00:44:20,500
Exactly.

1041
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:21,667
We kind of owe it to them
to interfere.

1042
00:44:21,667 --> 00:44:22,500
Yep.

1043
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:23,500
We are their mentors.

1044
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:25,291
And you know what,
mentors have integrity.

1045
00:44:25,291 --> 00:44:26,041
Yes.

1046
00:44:26,041 --> 00:44:27,709
So what are we waiting for?

1047
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:30,166
Alison?

1048
00:44:30,166 --> 00:44:31,041
What?

1049
00:44:31,041 --> 00:44:32,208
You're beautiful
when you compromise

1050
00:44:32,208 --> 00:44:34,166
but you're gorgeous
when you're devious.

1051
00:44:34,166 --> 00:44:36,834
Let's just break up a date,
please.

Your write-up of last night's
date is out-pacing

The Peters Post version
by 30 percent.

1060
00:45:49,375 --> 00:45:51,542
We are gonna crush them
on the next date.

1061
00:45:51,542 --> 00:45:53,875
Yeah, that's what I want
to talk to you about.

1062
00:45:53,875 --> 00:45:56,291
I don't think there's gonna be
a next date.

1063
00:45:56,291 --> 00:45:58,291
Why don't you have a seat?

1064
00:46:05,375 --> 00:46:06,667
What do you mean?

1065
00:46:06,667 --> 00:46:09,250
I mean, he can't be that bad,
can he?

1066
00:46:09,250 --> 00:46:10,375
No, he's not.

1067
00:46:10,375 --> 00:46:12,125
He actually seems like
a decent guy,

1068
00:46:12,125 --> 00:46:14,208
and in between all the horrible
stuff we were having fun.

1069
00:46:14,208 --> 00:46:14,917
But...

1070
00:46:17,291 --> 00:46:19,667
Alison, I think another
date is gonna kill me.

1071
00:46:19,667 --> 00:46:21,834
Leigh, I have been seeing you
in a whole new light

1072
00:46:21,834 --> 00:46:23,333
since this all started.

1073
00:46:23,333 --> 00:46:25,291
Smart. Funny.

1074
00:46:25,291 --> 00:46:26,667
Talented.

1075
00:46:26,667 --> 00:46:29,417
Wait, how did you see me before?

1076
00:46:29,417 --> 00:46:31,000
Honestly, you were fine.

1077
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,542
Fine is fine, but
it's not amazing,

1078
00:46:32,542 --> 00:46:34,625
and since you've been sharing
your stories

1079
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:36,834
you've been amazing.

1080
00:46:36,834 --> 00:46:37,417
Really?

1081
00:46:37,417 --> 00:46:39,959

00:46:41,667 --> 00:46:43,625
"a nightmare then I'm pretty
sure one of us has picked up

1084
00:46:43,625 --> 00:46:46,375
"an ancient Tiki necklace
on a family trip to Hawaii,

1085
00:46:46,375 --> 00:46:48,709
"because we are cursed"?

1086
00:46:48,709 --> 00:46:50,709
That's funny.

1087
00:46:50,709 --> 00:46:54,166
I see big things for you
at The Richards Record.

1088
00:46:54,166 --> 00:46:55,667
But can't I write
about something else?

1089
00:46:55,667 --> 00:46:58,041
Something that doesn't involve
the threat of imminent death?

1090
00:46:58,041 --> 00:47:00,625
I'm sure you could,
but how are you gonna feel

1091
00:47:00,625 --> 00:47:03,583
if you don't see this
all the way through?

1092
00:47:03,583 --> 00:47:04,583
Relieved.

1093
00:47:04,583 --> 00:47:06,333
Like a quitter.

1094
00:47:06,333 --> 00:47:08,083
Nobody wants to be a quitter.

1095
00:47:08,083 --> 00:47:11,583
I know I don't.

1096
00:47:11,583 --> 00:47:17,667
Uh, I don't think you have as
much at stake in this as I do.

1097
00:47:17,667 --> 00:47:19,583
You might be right.

1098
00:47:23,291 --> 00:47:25,166
Thank you for the talk,
Leigh.

1099
00:47:25,166 --> 00:47:27,750
I look forward to your
next write up.

1100
00:47:33,041 --> 00:47:34,959
What just happened?

1101
00:47:47,375 --> 00:47:49,041
Peters Post.

1102
00:48:04,667 --> 00:48:06,000
She thinks I sank the boat.

1103
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:06,333
I know.

1104
00:48:06,333 --> 00:48:07,500
But I did not sink
the boat.

1105
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:11,583
I know, but the boat sank
and so if I was your girlfriend-

1106
00:48:11,583 --> 00:48:13,000
She's not my girlfriend,
ok?

1107
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,250
And it is not my fault.

1108
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:15,709
It's gotta be someone's fault.

1109
00:48:15,709 --> 00:48:17,000
But it shouldn't be me, ok?

1110
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,333
Leigh is literally trying to
blame me for every single thing.

1111
00:48:19,333 --> 00:48:21,458
I did not break
the karaoke machine

1112
00:48:21,458 --> 00:48:24,417
and I most certainly
did not sink the boat!

1113
00:48:24,417 --> 00:48:25,959
Do you think
your girlfriend did?

1114
00:48:25,959 --> 00:48:27,500
Stop calling her that.

1115
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:28,458
I don't know, ok?

1116
00:48:28,458 --> 00:48:30,917
It doesn't seem like her,
but it can't all be coincidence.

1117
00:48:30,917 --> 00:48:33,417
Nobody goes on three dates
in a row like that.

1118
00:48:33,417 --> 00:48:35,333
So what're you gonna do
about it?

1119
00:48:39,417 --> 00:48:40,125
Where are you going?

1120
00:48:40,125 --> 00:48:42,083
To go break up
with my girlfriend.

1121
00:48:42,083 --> 00:48:43,041
Ah hah!

1122
00:48:43,041 --> 00:48:44,959
I told you she was
your girlfriend!

1123
00:48:56,041 --> 00:48:57,583
You're late.

1124
00:48:57,583 --> 00:49:00,333
I'm not late, I'm varying
my routine.

1125
00:49:00,333 --> 00:49:02,417
Same coffee house,
same coffee.

1126
00:49:02,417 --> 00:49:04,500
You're just ten minutes
later than usual.

1127
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:05,750
I got a different drink, too.

1128
00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:06,959
Looks the same to me.

1129
00:49:06,959 --> 00:49:08,125
It's only half caf.

1130
00:49:08,125 --> 00:49:10,125
You are a madwoman.

1131
00:49:10,125 --> 00:49:11,583
Totally out of control.

1132
00:49:11,583 --> 00:49:14,250
Anyway, I was talking
to Leigh

1133
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:16,917
and she made an interesting
point.

1134
00:49:16,917 --> 00:49:18,750
What's that?

1135
00:49:18,750 --> 00:49:20,125
That the stakes aren't
high enough for me

1136
00:49:20,125 --> 00:49:22,750
in this little competition
we have going on.

1137
00:49:22,750 --> 00:49:25,166
Ok. What were you thinking?

1138
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:31,959
Your business card?

1139
00:49:31,959 --> 00:49:33,375
I don't think that's worth
the four dollars

1140
00:49:33,375 --> 00:49:34,709
our double or nothing
bet is up to-

1141
00:49:34,709 --> 00:49:36,083
Not the card.

1142
00:49:36,083 --> 00:49:38,375
The business.

1143
00:49:38,375 --> 00:49:40,250
I was doing a little research.

1144
00:49:40,250 --> 00:49:42,583
The Richards Record
has women 18 - 49.

1145
00:49:42,583 --> 00:49:45,291
Peters Post has men.

1146
00:49:45,291 --> 00:49:48,250
Separately we do fine.

1147
00:49:48,250 --> 00:49:52,417
But together we could
be amazing.

1148
00:49:52,417 --> 00:49:53,834
You want us to merge?

1149
00:49:53,834 --> 00:49:56,667
Yes.

1150
00:49:56,667 --> 00:49:59,458
As partners?

1151
00:49:59,458 --> 00:50:01,875
That's where the wager
comes in.

1152
00:50:01,875 --> 00:50:04,667
If we get more hits
on the next date post,

1153
00:50:04,667 --> 00:50:07,417
you work for me.

1154
00:50:07,417 --> 00:50:11,875
If you get more hits,
I work for you.

1155
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:13,583
You're serious?

1156
00:50:13,583 --> 00:50:17,208
Very.

1157
00:50:17,208 --> 00:50:19,125
You're on.

1158
00:50:32,333 --> 00:50:33,083
Conner.

1159
00:50:33,083 --> 00:50:35,083
I can't believe you think
I'm that much of a monster.

1160
00:50:35,083 --> 00:50:35,750
Do you mind?

1161
00:50:35,750 --> 00:50:37,291
I- I work here.

1162
00:50:40,125 --> 00:50:41,208
What're you talking about?

1163
00:50:41,208 --> 00:50:43,542
Your Bad Date Chronicle
where you called me a sociopath.

1164
00:50:43,542 --> 00:50:44,083
I did not.

1165
00:50:44,083 --> 00:50:44,959
You may as well have.

1166
00:50:44,959 --> 00:50:46,208
I mean, sabotage?

1167
00:50:46,208 --> 00:50:47,375
Food tampering?

1168
00:50:47,375 --> 00:50:48,166
Maritime disasters?

1169
00:50:48,166 --> 00:50:49,625
If I wasn't so offended
I would be impressed

1170
00:50:49,625 --> 00:50:51,291
that you thought I had
that much power.

1171
00:50:51,291 --> 00:50:52,166
So, what?

1172
00:50:52,166 --> 00:50:55,041
You just expect me to believe
all this was just happenstance?

1173
00:50:55,041 --> 00:50:56,458
No, I don't think that at all.

1174
00:50:56,458 --> 00:50:57,417
So I'm the sociopath?

1175
00:50:57,417 --> 00:50:58,583
Well, if the straight
jacket fits.

1176
00:50:58,583 --> 00:50:59,375
It wasn't me.

1177
00:50:59,375 --> 00:51:00,583
Well, it wasn't me, either.

1178
00:51:00,583 --> 00:51:02,959
If it wasn't you and it
wasn't me, who was it?

1179
00:51:07,583 --> 00:51:08,792
Oh great.

1180
00:51:08,792 --> 00:51:10,709
Uh, that's my boss.

1181
00:51:10,709 --> 00:51:11,709
That's my boss.

1182
00:51:11,709 --> 00:51:12,792
Wait a minute.

1183
00:51:12,792 --> 00:51:14,000
That's Milo Peters?

1184
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,375
Yeah. That's Alison Richards?

1185
00:51:15,375 --> 00:51:16,917
Yes.

1186
00:51:16,917 --> 00:51:19,417
What're they doing together?

1187
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:22,750
( Both ): Oh.

1188
00:51:31,417 --> 00:51:33,625
Brad?

1189
00:51:33,625 --> 00:51:34,917
Erin.

1190
00:51:34,917 --> 00:51:35,917
What're you doing here?

1191
00:51:35,917 --> 00:51:37,458
I'm meeting someone.

1192
00:51:37,458 --> 00:51:38,500
Me too.

1193
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:39,542
Go away.

1194
00:51:39,542 --> 00:51:40,625
What do you mean, go away?

1195
00:51:40,625 --> 00:51:42,125
I mean you're going to ruin it.

1196
00:51:42,125 --> 00:51:43,083
How am I gonna ruin it?

1197
00:51:43,083 --> 00:51:45,125
I don't know but I'm sure
you'll find a way.

1198
00:51:45,125 --> 00:51:46,667
Well, then maybe you should go.

1199
00:51:46,667 --> 00:51:47,709
I'm not leaving.

1200
00:51:47,709 --> 00:51:49,250
I'm not either.

1201
00:51:52,041 --> 00:51:53,375
Red shirt.

1202
00:51:56,166 --> 00:51:57,709
Singlesurfer?

1203
00:51:57,709 --> 00:51:59,208
Foodiefan?

1204
00:51:59,208 --> 00:52:00,375
No!

1205
00:52:00,375 --> 00:52:02,166
No!

1206
00:52:06,458 --> 00:52:07,834
It makes so much sense.

1207
00:52:07,834 --> 00:52:10,041
I was feeling so...

1208
00:52:10,041 --> 00:52:10,917
Inept.

1209
00:52:10,917 --> 00:52:11,875
Yes!

1210
00:52:11,875 --> 00:52:13,166
Like I not only forgot
how to date

1211
00:52:13,166 --> 00:52:14,792
but was actually
really bad at it.

1212
00:52:14,792 --> 00:52:16,625
Like bodily harm bad.

1213
00:52:16,625 --> 00:52:17,291
I know.

1214
00:52:17,291 --> 00:52:19,709
I mean, I realize I shouldn't
wrap up my sense of self-worth

1215
00:52:19,709 --> 00:52:21,917
in this stereotypical
guy thing

1216
00:52:21,917 --> 00:52:24,083
of how women respond to me
on dates, but...

1217
00:52:24,083 --> 00:52:25,667
But it wasn't us,
it was them.

1218
00:52:25,667 --> 00:52:26,208
Yeah.

1219
00:52:26,208 --> 00:52:27,083
You know what?

1220
00:52:27,083 --> 00:52:28,000
They're the sociopaths.

1221
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,625
Yeah.

1222
00:52:28,625 --> 00:52:29,458
They sank our boat.

1223
00:52:29,458 --> 00:52:31,417
They lit me on fire, twice.

1224
00:52:31,417 --> 00:52:32,041
Once.

1225
00:52:32,041 --> 00:52:34,959
I mean, the first time was
before they got involved, but...

1226
00:52:34,959 --> 00:52:36,959
Well, I say we blame
them anyway.

1227
00:52:36,959 --> 00:52:38,041
That works for me.

1228
00:52:38,041 --> 00:52:40,917
( laughs )

1229
00:52:40,917 --> 00:52:42,000
So what're we gonna do?

1230
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,458
We were supposed to go
on a date this weekend.

1231
00:52:43,458 --> 00:52:45,125
Yeah, it's supposed to be
our last date and frankly

1232
00:52:45,125 --> 00:52:46,875
I don't think I want to know
what they have in mind

1233
00:52:46,875 --> 00:52:48,291
for a grand finale.

1234
00:52:48,291 --> 00:52:51,500
Yeah, that's definitely
not gonna end well for us.

1235
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:53,667
Yeah.

1236
00:52:53,667 --> 00:52:56,792
You know, unless...

1237
00:52:56,792 --> 00:52:58,041
they can't mess with our date
if they don't know

1238
00:52:58,041 --> 00:53:00,375
when it's happening.

1239
00:53:00,375 --> 00:53:02,083
But they already do.

1240
00:53:02,083 --> 00:53:03,250
Not if we change it.

1241
00:53:03,250 --> 00:53:04,542
Oh, I like it.

1242
00:53:04,542 --> 00:53:07,917
Change it to when?

1243
00:53:07,917 --> 00:53:09,375
Right now?

1244
00:53:11,542 --> 00:53:12,125
Let's do it. Let's just go.

1245
00:53:12,125 --> 00:53:14,166
Let's go blow off the rest
of work,

1246
00:53:14,166 --> 00:53:16,542
go completely off the record.

1247
00:53:16,542 --> 00:53:19,208
Re-do all our bad dates
and make them good.

1248
00:53:19,208 --> 00:53:19,875
You know?

1249
00:53:19,875 --> 00:53:20,583
Just prove to ourselves

1250
00:53:20,583 --> 00:53:24,625
that we're not Bad Date
Chronicles material.

1251
00:53:24,625 --> 00:53:27,125
Let's do it.

1252
00:53:27,125 --> 00:53:28,959
Perfect.

1253
00:53:48,458 --> 00:53:49,750
Did you know?

1254
00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:51,333
Know what?

1255
00:53:51,333 --> 00:53:52,333
That I was me?

1256
00:53:52,333 --> 00:53:53,750
That she was me?

1257
00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:55,917
The one you were chatting-
you know what I mean.

1258
00:53:55,917 --> 00:53:58,125
No, I- we talked about Leigh
and Conner's dates

1259
00:53:58,125 --> 00:54:00,458
and you never said anything
about knowing them.

1260
00:54:00,458 --> 00:54:02,500
I wanted to know
what you really thought.

1261
00:54:02,500 --> 00:54:06,667
I figured if you knew I knew
her you'd censor your answers.

1262
00:54:06,667 --> 00:54:09,208
Yeah, me too.

1263
00:54:09,208 --> 00:54:13,250
But you defended Leigh online.

1264
00:54:13,250 --> 00:54:15,291
I didn't want to admit that
I thought my friend was being-

1265
00:54:15,291 --> 00:54:16,667
Lame?

1266
00:54:16,667 --> 00:54:19,375
Something like that.

1267
00:54:19,375 --> 00:54:20,625
I read both sides of it
and I thought Leigh

1268
00:54:20,625 --> 00:54:22,041
was making a better case.

1269
00:54:22,041 --> 00:54:23,917
Don't tell her I said that.

1270
00:54:23,917 --> 00:54:25,083
I won't.

1271
00:54:25,083 --> 00:54:27,667
So why didn't you say anything
in our chats?

1272
00:54:27,667 --> 00:54:29,250
Because I'm her friend.

1273
00:54:29,250 --> 00:54:31,125
It's in the job description
to defend her.

1274
00:54:31,125 --> 00:54:32,166
I get it.

1275
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,125
So what now?

1276
00:54:37,125 --> 00:54:40,000
Because as much as I may
have liked Singlesurfer,

1277
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,709
you in person has been-

1278
00:54:42,709 --> 00:54:45,959
Yeah, the feeling is mutual.

1279
00:54:45,959 --> 00:54:50,625
Well, I guess that's that then.

1280
00:54:50,625 --> 00:54:52,333
I guess so.

1281
00:54:57,625 --> 00:54:58,959
No way. Seriously?

1282
00:54:58,959 --> 00:55:01,625
When I was a kid I wanted to be
the governor of Ohio.

1283
00:55:01,625 --> 00:55:02,834
Not the president?

1284
00:55:02,834 --> 00:55:03,875
No. No, that's too scary.

1285
00:55:03,875 --> 00:55:05,542
I mean, with the president
you have

1286
00:55:05,542 --> 00:55:06,709
to deal with things like war.

1287
00:55:06,709 --> 00:55:08,041
With the governor you get

1288
00:55:08,041 --> 00:55:09,500
all the cool stuff
the president does,

1289
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:11,959
like the car and the body guards
and the cool code name

1290
00:55:11,959 --> 00:55:13,458
but you don't have to worry
about whether or not

1291
00:55:13,458 --> 00:55:14,834
Michigan's gonna attack.

1292
00:55:14,834 --> 00:55:16,041
That's a good point.

1293
00:55:16,041 --> 00:55:16,792
What about you?

1294
00:55:16,792 --> 00:55:18,250
What'd you want to be
when you grew up?

1295
00:55:18,250 --> 00:55:19,709
Oh, I did the little
girl trifecta.

1296
00:55:19,709 --> 00:55:22,500
Princess, ballerina,
or a doggy doctor.

1297
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:23,250
Nice.

1298
00:55:23,250 --> 00:55:24,208
Mmm, yes.

1299
00:55:24,208 --> 00:55:26,333
But unfortunately I realized
I wasn't born into royalty,

1300
00:55:26,333 --> 00:55:28,083
I have two left feet
and our dog Skipper

1301
00:55:28,083 --> 00:55:30,667
didn't go live
on a farm upstate.

1302
00:55:30,667 --> 00:55:31,917
Bloom was off the rules
on all of them.

1303
00:55:31,917 --> 00:55:33,333
Understandable.

1304
00:55:33,333 --> 00:55:35,166
Hey, can I ask you something?

1305
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:37,750
Yeah, of course.

1306
00:55:40,709 --> 00:55:43,125
If our first date hadn't
crashed and burned...

1307
00:55:43,125 --> 00:55:46,083
Ah, I see what you did there.

1308
00:55:46,083 --> 00:55:49,041
Would you have wanted to go out
with me again?

1309
00:55:49,041 --> 00:55:50,583
I think so.

1310
00:55:51,959 --> 00:55:55,333
Ok. Why?

1311
00:55:55,333 --> 00:55:58,125
Because I thought you were
a nice guy.

1312
00:55:58,125 --> 00:56:00,208
Despite everything that happened
I couldn't stop thinking

1313
00:56:00,208 --> 00:56:03,625
that you were nice I...

1314
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:06,375
I didn't get a lot of nice
with my ex-boyfriend,

1315
00:56:06,375 --> 00:56:11,166
so nice was a nice change
of pace.

1316
00:56:11,166 --> 00:56:12,083
Well, you know, I was relieved

1317
00:56:12,083 --> 00:56:15,250
when I thought I'd never have
to see you again.

1318
00:56:15,250 --> 00:56:15,875
Oh.

1319
00:56:15,875 --> 00:56:17,333
But, I mean, listen.

1320
00:56:17,333 --> 00:56:21,500
I was... I was disappointed,
you know?

1321
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:25,250
Like I was missing out
on something special.

1322
00:56:25,250 --> 00:56:27,625
Oh.

1323
00:56:27,625 --> 00:56:31,166
It's been a long time
since I've felt that way.

1324
00:56:31,166 --> 00:56:32,208
You know, it's been
over an hour

1325
00:56:32,208 --> 00:56:33,834
and nothing horrible
has happened.

1326
00:56:33,834 --> 00:56:34,625
No, no, no.

1327
00:56:34,625 --> 00:56:36,125
Don't, don't jinx it.

1328
00:56:36,125 --> 00:56:38,208
( giggles )

1329
00:56:38,208 --> 00:56:40,250
Hazards everywhere.

1330
00:56:44,417 --> 00:56:45,792
There's no way this could work.

1331
00:56:45,792 --> 00:56:46,291
I know.

1332
00:56:46,291 --> 00:56:47,375
Our best friends
hate each other.

1333
00:56:47,375 --> 00:56:47,875
I know.

1334
00:56:47,875 --> 00:56:49,250
You and I hate each other.

1335
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:50,750
I don't know about hate...

1336
00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:53,083
We certainly don't
like each other.

1337
00:56:53,083 --> 00:56:56,333
But Foodiefan
and Singlesurfer do.

1338
00:56:56,333 --> 00:57:00,375
I mean, I think they do.

1339
00:57:00,375 --> 00:57:03,458
They do.

1340
00:57:03,458 --> 00:57:04,792
But that's not real life.

1341
00:57:04,792 --> 00:57:10,417
That's bits and bytes and
data and hiding behind personas

1342
00:57:10,417 --> 00:57:15,709
that aren't who we really are.

1343
00:57:15,709 --> 00:57:18,000
And even if they were,

1344
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,792
we don't know if they could
have worked.

1345
00:57:26,834 --> 00:57:28,583
So.

1346
00:57:30,917 --> 00:57:32,750
So.

1347
00:57:35,458 --> 00:57:37,083
I'm gonna go.

1348
00:57:37,083 --> 00:57:38,625
Yeah, me too.

1349
00:57:43,208 --> 00:57:45,000
For the record,

1350
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,417
I think Singlesurfer and
Foodiefan would have made it.

1351
00:58:00,375 --> 00:58:52,667
( upbeat music )♪♪

1352
00:59:00,583 --> 00:59:03,000
( phone rings )

1353
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,041
Alison Richards.

1354
00:59:04,041 --> 00:59:05,792
Working late as usual?

1355
00:59:05,792 --> 00:59:07,375
Just making sure everything
is in order

1356
00:59:07,375 --> 00:59:09,291
for when you come work
at the Richards Record.

1357
00:59:09,291 --> 00:59:10,208
What a coincidence.

1358
00:59:10,208 --> 00:59:11,792
I was just figuring out
where you're gonna sit

1359
00:59:11,792 --> 00:59:13,959
when you come to work
at The Peters Post.

1360
00:59:13,959 --> 00:59:15,750
I do enjoy our little chats.

1361
00:59:15,750 --> 00:59:17,125
As do I.

1362
00:59:17,125 --> 00:59:19,041
So are we really gonna
do this?

1363
00:59:19,041 --> 00:59:20,458
Merge our two companies?

1364
00:59:20,458 --> 00:59:22,417
I've run the numbers ten times
and I keep coming up

1365
00:59:22,417 --> 00:59:24,000
with the same answer.

1366
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,500
We're better together
than we are apart.

1367
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:26,667
We always were.

1368
00:59:26,667 --> 00:59:30,041
Are you really ready to let
this go?

1369
00:59:30,041 --> 00:59:32,083
I've been doing this
a long time.

1370
00:59:32,083 --> 00:59:33,750
I started this blog
before people really knew

1371
00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:35,750
what a blog was.

1372
00:59:35,750 --> 00:59:37,125
It's been my life.

1373
00:59:37,125 --> 00:59:37,709
I know.

1374
00:59:37,709 --> 00:59:40,250
I was there every day and I
saw how important it is to you.

1375
00:59:40,250 --> 00:59:42,375
Yes, it is.

1376
00:59:42,375 --> 00:59:43,458
But when Leigh told me

1377
00:59:43,458 --> 00:59:46,250
that the stakes weren't
high enough for me

1378
00:59:46,250 --> 00:59:48,709
I realized she was right.

1379
00:59:48,709 --> 00:59:52,250
Things around here have
been routine.

1380
00:59:52,250 --> 00:59:53,709
What, you switched
to half caf?

1381
00:59:53,709 --> 00:59:55,291
When the thought of betting
Richards Record

1382
00:59:55,291 --> 00:59:57,083
first popped into my mind

1383
00:59:57,083 --> 01:00:00,542
my first thought
wasn't "that's ridiculous".

1384
01:00:00,542 --> 01:00:03,875
It was "why doesn't
that sound ridiculous?"

1385
01:00:06,667 --> 01:00:08,792
I wouldn't have made this bet
if on some level at least

1386
01:00:08,792 --> 01:00:11,834
I wasn't prepared to lose.

1387
01:00:11,834 --> 01:00:12,792
Ok.

1388
01:00:12,792 --> 01:00:14,208
But I am gonna win.

1389
01:00:14,208 --> 01:00:15,166
Ok.

1390
01:00:15,166 --> 01:00:18,500
How are you gonna feel
when that happens?

1391
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:19,959
Let's just say you're not
the only one looking for

1392
01:00:19,959 --> 01:00:22,667
a little change in routine.

1393
01:00:22,667 --> 01:00:26,500
So I guess we should
talk about logistics.

1394
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:30,333
Absolutely.

1395
01:00:30,333 --> 01:00:31,125
( laughing )

1396
01:00:31,125 --> 01:00:31,875
It was bad.

1397
01:00:31,875 --> 01:00:33,875
So bad.

1398
01:00:33,875 --> 01:00:35,417
( laughing )

1399
01:00:35,417 --> 01:00:37,917
Well, here we are.

1400
01:00:37,917 --> 01:00:39,333
Do you want me to escort
you home?

1401
01:00:39,333 --> 01:00:42,792
Uh, my car's here, so...
I could give you a ride.

1402
01:00:42,792 --> 01:00:44,458
Oh, no, it's good.
I drove here.

1403
01:00:44,458 --> 01:00:47,125
I'm good.

1404
01:00:47,125 --> 01:00:49,041
I uh, I had a great time.

1405
01:00:49,041 --> 01:00:51,542
So did I.

1406
01:00:51,542 --> 01:00:53,959
So the date's officially over,
right?

1407
01:00:53,959 --> 01:00:55,500
Right.

1408
01:00:55,500 --> 01:00:57,125
So that means...

1409
01:00:57,125 --> 01:00:58,792
What?

1410
01:00:58,792 --> 01:01:00,667
We're not bad dates.

1411
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,542
Yeah, buddy! That's what
I'm talking about!

1412
01:01:04,542 --> 01:01:05,625
In your face!

1413
01:01:05,625 --> 01:01:06,750
We crush bad dates!

1414
01:01:06,750 --> 01:01:08,500
We're good at dating!

1415
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:11,834
( laughing )

1416
01:01:11,834 --> 01:01:14,000
So I... I have an idea.

1417
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:14,875
Ok.

1418
01:01:14,875 --> 01:01:17,291
I know this date was for us,
not our blogs, but...

1419
01:01:17,291 --> 01:01:18,709
It was a really good date.

1420
01:01:18,709 --> 01:01:21,083
It was, wasn't it?

1421
01:01:21,083 --> 01:01:23,709
And you think we should
tell people about it?

1422
01:01:23,709 --> 01:01:25,709
Yeah.

1423
01:01:25,709 --> 01:01:28,709
I would love for people to read
about a good date for once.

1424
01:01:28,709 --> 01:01:29,792
Ok.

1425
01:01:29,792 --> 01:01:30,667
Yeah, let's write it up tonight

1426
01:01:30,667 --> 01:01:32,333
and turn it in first thing
tomorrow.

1427
01:01:32,333 --> 01:01:34,417
Great. I can't wait to read it.

1428
01:01:34,417 --> 01:01:36,375
Me too.

1429
01:01:36,375 --> 01:01:39,792
Well, um... goodnight.

1430
01:01:39,792 --> 01:01:41,500
Goodnight.

1431
01:01:45,208 --> 01:01:46,500
If we write about
tonight's date,

1432
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:48,834
that means it was for work.

1433
01:01:48,834 --> 01:01:53,625
I want our first kiss to be
on a real date.

1434
01:01:53,625 --> 01:01:56,166
So we get a real date?

1435
01:01:56,166 --> 01:01:57,834
Well, we were so good at it.

1436
01:01:57,834 --> 01:02:00,709
It would be a waste of all
that dating talent not to.

1437
01:02:02,542 --> 01:02:03,291
Goodnight.

1438
01:02:03,291 --> 01:02:04,542
Goodnight.

1439
01:02:19,250 --> 01:02:20,667
Ok, you are
never gonna believe

1440
01:02:20,667 --> 01:02:22,041
the incredible day I've had!

1441
01:02:22,041 --> 01:02:26,333
Seriously, it's like I've lost
all my bad dating karma.

1442
01:02:26,333 --> 01:02:28,125
Erin, what's wrong?

1443
01:02:28,125 --> 01:02:31,000
I think I found all your bad
dating karma.

1444
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,750
Oh no. What happened?

1445
01:02:32,750 --> 01:02:34,542
Erin? Leigh's Erin?

1446
01:02:34,542 --> 01:02:36,333
Your mystery internet
soulmate was the woman

1447
01:02:36,333 --> 01:02:37,959
who kinda hates you?

1448
01:02:37,959 --> 01:02:40,166
That's the one.

1449
01:02:40,166 --> 01:02:41,834
I'm sorry, man.

1450
01:02:41,834 --> 01:02:43,333
Hey, what're you gonna do?

1451
01:02:43,333 --> 01:02:44,959
I can't do anything.

1452
01:02:44,959 --> 01:02:46,959
We'd obviously never
work out.

1453
01:02:46,959 --> 01:02:48,750
But you said you were
hitting it off online.

1454
01:02:48,750 --> 01:02:51,000
That was before I knew
who he really was.

1455
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:51,959
I just wish there was some way

1456
01:02:51,959 --> 01:02:53,959
I could show her
who I really am.

1457
01:02:56,750 --> 01:02:58,834
Enough about me, though.

1458
01:02:58,834 --> 01:03:00,250
Um, how'd things go with Leigh?

1459
01:03:00,250 --> 01:03:00,875
Incredible.

1460
01:03:00,875 --> 01:03:02,083
We had the best time.

1461
01:03:02,083 --> 01:03:02,667
Really?

1462
01:03:02,667 --> 01:03:03,375
Really.

1463
01:03:03,375 --> 01:03:05,166
It's amazing how much easier
dating someone is

1464
01:03:05,166 --> 01:03:08,542
when you don't have crazy
people trying to mess it up.

1465
01:03:08,542 --> 01:03:11,959
Milo Peters and Alison
Richards together?

1466
01:03:11,959 --> 01:03:13,166
I thought they hated each other.

1467
01:03:13,166 --> 01:03:15,792
Well, apparently they have
one thing in common, greed.

1468
01:03:15,792 --> 01:03:17,000
You know, our posts
about our horrible dates

1469
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,208
were getting huge numbers

1470
01:03:18,208 --> 01:03:20,333
so it made sense
that they wanted more.

1471
01:03:20,333 --> 01:03:21,959
So what're you gonna do?

1472
01:03:21,959 --> 01:03:23,583
We are gonna give them
what they want.

1473
01:03:23,583 --> 01:03:25,208
A third date.

1474
01:03:30,125 --> 01:03:32,500
Ok. Where do I start?

1475
01:03:32,500 --> 01:03:33,834
Uh, I'm sorry?

1476
01:03:33,834 --> 01:03:35,166
Oh, you don't have
to apologize.

1477
01:03:35,166 --> 01:03:36,375
No, I meant you.

1478
01:03:36,375 --> 01:03:39,333
You're sorry, for intentionally
ruining our dates.

1479
01:03:39,333 --> 01:03:41,500
Um... yes?

1480
01:03:41,500 --> 01:03:43,500
Alison.

1481
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:46,125
Your Bad Date Chronicles
have generated millions of hits

1482
01:03:46,125 --> 01:03:47,291
as far as revenue.

1483
01:03:47,291 --> 01:03:49,250
I don't even think our
accounting department

1484
01:03:49,250 --> 01:03:51,709
has ever been asked
to count that high.

1485
01:03:51,709 --> 01:03:53,875
So no, I won't apologize
for making something popular

1486
01:03:53,875 --> 01:03:55,000
and successful.

1487
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,750
Even if it meant I got hurt
in the process?

1488
01:03:56,750 --> 01:03:57,917
How did you get hurt?

1489
01:03:57,917 --> 01:03:58,959
I was on fire.

1490
01:03:58,959 --> 01:04:00,917
Oh, you really need to let
that go, Leigh.

1491
01:04:00,917 --> 01:04:02,959
Everybody else has.

1492
01:04:02,959 --> 01:04:03,834
Well, it's over now.

1493
01:04:03,834 --> 01:04:05,041
You have your final date piece,

1494
01:04:05,041 --> 01:04:06,375
I have fulfilled my duties.

1495
01:04:06,375 --> 01:04:07,709
I can't print this.

1496
01:04:07,709 --> 01:04:08,667
Why not?

1497
01:04:08,667 --> 01:04:10,291
"It's easy to get distracted
by the things

1498
01:04:10,291 --> 01:04:12,041
"that don't really matter,

1499
01:04:12,041 --> 01:04:14,417
"but that's what makes it all
the more exciting

1500
01:04:14,417 --> 01:04:16,417
"when you can see
past those distractions to find

1501
01:04:16,417 --> 01:04:19,875
"the real person
standing behind them."

1502
01:04:19,875 --> 01:04:20,959
Ugh.

1503
01:04:20,959 --> 01:04:23,375
Erin already pitched
the love stories blog.

1504
01:04:23,375 --> 01:04:24,667
Remember?

1505
01:04:24,667 --> 01:04:26,792
We don't do fiction.

1506
01:04:26,792 --> 01:04:27,750
It's not fiction.

1507
01:04:27,750 --> 01:04:29,291
That was our date.

1508
01:04:29,291 --> 01:04:30,792
You prefer that I make
something up?

1509
01:04:30,792 --> 01:04:33,625
Say we had a horrible time
and there was like a plague

1510
01:04:33,625 --> 01:04:34,959
of locusts or something?

1511
01:04:34,959 --> 01:04:36,625
Plague of locusts.

1512
01:04:36,625 --> 01:04:38,750
That's a little far-fetched,

1513
01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:41,166
but I like where
you're going with this.

1514
01:04:41,166 --> 01:04:43,000
What if the restaurant
had cockroaches?

1515
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,083
I'm not doing this.

1516
01:04:45,083 --> 01:04:46,750
That is the date we had.

1517
01:04:46,750 --> 01:04:49,291
If you want something else,
write it yourself.

1518
01:04:54,333 --> 01:04:57,417
Alright. I will.

1519
01:05:15,417 --> 01:05:19,417
So Alison really tried
to sabotage your date, huh?

1520
01:05:19,417 --> 01:05:20,542
Milo.

1521
01:05:20,542 --> 01:05:23,583
Ok, ok. We're terrible people.

1522
01:05:23,583 --> 01:05:25,083
But we had good reason.

1523
01:05:25,083 --> 01:05:25,875
Oh, you did?

1524
01:05:25,875 --> 01:05:26,709
Yes, money.

1525
01:05:26,709 --> 01:05:27,583
Ok.

1526
01:05:27,583 --> 01:05:31,500
What I meant is money
for the company.

1527
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:32,542
To pay people's salaries.

1528
01:05:32,542 --> 01:05:33,375
Not just you and me,

1529
01:05:33,375 --> 01:05:35,500
I'm responsible for
all these people here

1530
01:05:35,500 --> 01:05:38,625
and sometimes it's a little...

1531
01:05:38,625 --> 01:05:40,750
Scary?

1532
01:05:40,750 --> 01:05:42,125
Intimidating.

1533
01:05:45,417 --> 01:05:47,458
And I feel the weight of
that responsibility every day,

1534
01:05:47,458 --> 01:05:50,166
and I guess it made me
a little crazy.

1535
01:05:50,166 --> 01:05:52,375
And I'm sorry.

1536
01:05:52,375 --> 01:05:54,667
Thank you.

1537
01:05:54,667 --> 01:05:57,709
This is really well-written.

1538
01:05:57,709 --> 01:06:00,000
You really like her, huh?

1539
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,208
I do.

1540
01:06:02,208 --> 01:06:04,500
Well, this isn't
what they want.

1541
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:04,667
I don't know, Milo.

1542
01:06:04,667 --> 01:06:06,959
Doesn't everybody want a story
with a happy ending?

1543
01:06:06,959 --> 01:06:11,125
Yeah, for themselves,
but not other people.

1544
01:06:11,125 --> 01:06:13,417
But if this is what you want
to publish...

1545
01:06:13,417 --> 01:06:15,250
It is.

1546
01:06:15,250 --> 01:06:17,750
Then this is what we'll publish.

1547
01:06:17,750 --> 01:06:20,458
Ok.

1548
01:06:20,458 --> 01:06:23,125
Just let me show it
to Alison first.

1549
01:06:23,125 --> 01:06:25,166
I don't want there to be
any surprises.

1550
01:06:25,166 --> 01:06:26,667
Ok. Milo, thank you.

1551
01:06:26,667 --> 01:06:29,458
I appreciate it.

1552
01:06:29,458 --> 01:06:32,500
Remember that when
we're all unemployed.

1553
01:06:38,834 --> 01:06:40,333
This is good.

1554
01:06:40,333 --> 01:06:42,417
This is really good.

1555
01:06:42,417 --> 01:06:46,583
This makes that fire stuff
look like child's play.

1556
01:06:46,583 --> 01:06:50,625
Bad Date Chronicles,
here we come.

1557
01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:52,500
And publish.

1558
01:07:05,208 --> 01:07:06,333
Aargh!

1559
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,291
Hey. Can we talk?

1560
01:07:16,291 --> 01:07:18,709
Milo. Yes, actually
we need to talk,

1561
01:07:18,709 --> 01:07:21,375
but I have to run out and find
Leigh really quickly.

1562
01:07:21,375 --> 01:07:23,208
Do you mind waiting for me?

1563
01:07:23,208 --> 01:07:23,917
Not at all.

1564
01:07:23,917 --> 01:07:25,583
I'll be right here.

1565
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:05,125
I don't understand.

1566
01:08:05,125 --> 01:08:06,000
Conner.

1567
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,166
This is not her.

1568
01:08:07,166 --> 01:08:09,709
Everything matches
with what you said.

1569
01:08:09,709 --> 01:08:11,083
Instead of writing
a romantic comedy,

1570
01:08:11,083 --> 01:08:13,166
she wrote a horror movie.

1571
01:08:16,208 --> 01:08:16,917
"When he asked me

1572
01:08:16,917 --> 01:08:19,417
"if I thought I wanted
to go out with him again

1573
01:08:19,417 --> 01:08:21,917
"after the first date I
almost couldn't decide

1574
01:08:21,917 --> 01:08:26,291
"if I wanted to scream, laugh,
run away, or throw up.

1575
01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:29,083
"That I kept myself from
doing any of these things

1576
01:08:29,083 --> 01:08:34,041
"is nothing short of a miracle."

1577
01:08:34,041 --> 01:08:36,959
Why would she do this?

1578
01:08:36,959 --> 01:08:39,333
I hate to say it but I think
you got played.

1579
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:45,542
This way she can write her
Bad Date Chronicles,

1580
01:08:45,542 --> 01:08:48,625
you look like a fool,
she gets all the hits,

1581
01:08:48,625 --> 01:08:50,417
we get left with nothing.

1582
01:08:54,875 --> 01:08:58,500
I really thought she liked me,
you know?

1583
01:08:58,500 --> 01:08:59,959
Sorry, man.

1584
01:09:04,625 --> 01:09:07,125
You haven't published
my story yet, have you?

1585
01:09:09,333 --> 01:09:11,125
Good. I think it needs
a few revisions.

1586
01:09:29,542 --> 01:09:31,250
Yes.

1587
01:09:36,166 --> 01:09:38,792
You have a food problem?

1588
01:09:46,834 --> 01:09:49,625
I always lose my appetite
when I feel like I've messed up

1589
01:09:49,625 --> 01:09:51,709
something important.

1590
01:09:54,417 --> 01:09:56,959
Maybe you didn't mess it up.

1591
01:09:56,959 --> 01:10:01,250
Maybe someone else
messed it up.

1592
01:10:01,250 --> 01:10:04,208
Maybe we both did?

1593
01:10:04,208 --> 01:10:06,041
But I presume
you heard about

1594
01:10:06,041 --> 01:10:07,834
Leigh and Conner's date
last night?

1595
01:10:07,834 --> 01:10:09,083
Yes, it went great!

1596
01:10:09,083 --> 01:10:12,208
So I figured, you know, if they
could let bygones be bygones

1597
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:16,125
and start over, then
maybe we could, too.

1598
01:10:19,250 --> 01:10:23,250
( typing )

1599
01:10:23,250 --> 01:10:27,542
( message alert )

1600
01:10:27,542 --> 01:10:29,625
"What time can you
pick me up tonight?"

1601
01:10:35,208 --> 01:10:36,625
( message alert )

1602
01:10:36,625 --> 01:10:38,959
It wasn't me.

1603
01:10:38,959 --> 01:10:40,792
Oh, it's a news alert.

1604
01:10:40,792 --> 01:10:42,792
Conner just posted the write-up
of their date.

1605
01:10:46,583 --> 01:10:47,875
Uh oh.

1606
01:10:47,875 --> 01:10:50,083
"It turns out that our bad
dates really were my fault

1607
01:10:50,083 --> 01:10:51,750
"because I'm the one who was
willing to give her

1608
01:10:51,750 --> 01:10:53,375
"the benefit of the doubt.

1609
01:10:53,375 --> 01:10:56,333
"I was willing to believe that
she was a decent human being."

1610
01:10:56,333 --> 01:10:57,208
Did you know about this?

1611
01:10:57,208 --> 01:10:57,875
No!

1612
01:10:57,875 --> 01:10:58,667
When I talked to him,
it was fine.

1613
01:10:58,667 --> 01:11:00,458
They had a great time,
everything was great.

1614
01:11:00,458 --> 01:11:01,542
Or maybe he was
just pretending that

1615
01:11:01,542 --> 01:11:03,375
so he could write
this hit piece.

1616
01:11:03,375 --> 01:11:05,625
No, Conner is not like that.

1617
01:11:05,625 --> 01:11:06,875
And what about you?

1618
01:11:06,875 --> 01:11:08,417
Coming over here all...

1619
01:11:08,417 --> 01:11:09,750
charming.

1620
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:10,750
I'm such an idiot.

1621
01:11:10,750 --> 01:11:11,917
Where are you going?

1622
01:11:11,917 --> 01:11:13,458
I have to find Leigh.

1623
01:11:33,250 --> 01:11:34,583
( door opens )

1624
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,959
It's funny.

1625
01:11:45,959 --> 01:11:48,125
What is?

1626
01:11:48,125 --> 01:11:52,250
How fast it all comes back.

1627
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:54,458
I really didn't think I had
gotten over my break-up

1628
01:11:54,458 --> 01:11:56,208
with Danny.

1629
01:11:56,208 --> 01:11:58,208
You said his name.

1630
01:11:58,208 --> 01:12:00,583
That's the thing.

1631
01:12:00,583 --> 01:12:03,625
I thought it would hurt too much
to say his name.

1632
01:12:03,625 --> 01:12:07,583
I thought I was still too hurt
by everything that had happened.

1633
01:12:07,583 --> 01:12:09,542
It's understandable.

1634
01:12:09,542 --> 01:12:11,291
But see? I wasn't.

1635
01:12:11,291 --> 01:12:12,834
I was better.

1636
01:12:12,834 --> 01:12:14,500
I felt better.

1637
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:18,667
About myself, about my life,
about everything.

1638
01:12:22,834 --> 01:12:29,333
I just didn't realize it
until I read this.

1639
01:12:29,333 --> 01:12:32,166
Now I know how much better
I was

1640
01:12:32,166 --> 01:12:37,625
because now I remember
what it feels like to be hurt.

1641
01:12:37,625 --> 01:12:42,083
It comes back so fast.

1642
01:12:42,083 --> 01:12:45,125
It's funny, isn't it?

1643
01:12:45,125 --> 01:12:53,542
( sobbing )

1644
01:13:02,417 --> 01:13:03,750
You were just waiting
for an opportunity

1645
01:13:03,750 --> 01:13:05,458
to stab me in the back,
weren't you?

1646
01:13:05,458 --> 01:13:08,250
Hold on a second.

1647
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:10,542
Somehow you're
the victim here?

1648
01:13:12,250 --> 01:13:14,041
You know, I really gotta
give you credit for that.

1649
01:13:14,041 --> 01:13:15,458
I was prepared to lose stuff.

1650
01:13:15,458 --> 01:13:17,375
That was a fantastic
performance.

1651
01:13:17,375 --> 01:13:20,375
Have a seat, please.

1652
01:13:20,375 --> 01:13:21,583
Let me guess.

1653
01:13:21,583 --> 01:13:23,959
Conner character assassination
piece?

1654
01:13:23,959 --> 01:13:25,166
All your idea, right?

1655
01:13:25,166 --> 01:13:27,750
Just like Leigh's hatchet job
was yours?

1656
01:13:27,750 --> 01:13:29,083
What are you talking about?

1657
01:13:29,083 --> 01:13:30,333
We haven't posted anything.

1658
01:13:30,333 --> 01:13:34,041
Yeah, but I saw what
you were gonna post.

1659
01:13:34,041 --> 01:13:35,625
No!

1660
01:13:35,625 --> 01:13:37,583
Leigh didn't write this,
I did.

1661
01:13:37,583 --> 01:13:38,542
What?

1662
01:13:38,542 --> 01:13:44,417
Leigh wrote this really lovely,
sweet piece of fluff.

1663
01:13:44,417 --> 01:13:45,875
I couldn't let her post it.

1664
01:13:45,875 --> 01:13:48,417
So I wrote this and I was gonna
put it up instead.

1665
01:13:48,417 --> 01:13:51,375
But I changed my mind.

1666
01:13:51,375 --> 01:13:54,125
I don't believe you.

1667
01:13:54,125 --> 01:13:56,041
Where'd you find these papers,
Milo?

1668
01:13:56,041 --> 01:13:57,959
In the- in the trash.

1669
01:13:57,959 --> 01:13:59,083
Because that's where
I put them!

1670
01:13:59,083 --> 01:14:00,709
I threw it away!

1671
01:14:00,709 --> 01:14:04,333
I wasn't gonna post that.

1672
01:14:04,333 --> 01:14:06,166
And Conner's original piece
was about

1673
01:14:06,166 --> 01:14:08,000
how amazing their date was.

1674
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,542
And then I showed him this.

1675
01:14:09,542 --> 01:14:11,709
Of course you did.

1676
01:14:11,709 --> 01:14:13,208
We're terrible people.

1677
01:14:13,208 --> 01:14:14,792
The absolute worst.

1678
01:14:14,792 --> 01:14:16,000
I mean, they could
have been in love.

1679
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,458
Or at least headed that way.

1680
01:14:17,458 --> 01:14:18,583
And we ruined it.

1681
01:14:18,583 --> 01:14:20,625
Terrible, horrible people.

1682
01:14:20,625 --> 01:14:21,917
The worst.

1683
01:14:26,417 --> 01:14:28,000
Brad, get in here ASAP.

1684
01:14:34,041 --> 01:14:34,917
Yo.

1685
01:14:34,917 --> 01:14:39,917
Brad, we need your help.

1686
01:14:39,917 --> 01:14:42,041
What did you two do?

1687
01:14:59,375 --> 01:15:00,959
Erin?

1688
01:15:00,959 --> 01:15:02,583
Brad.

1689
01:15:02,583 --> 01:15:04,375
Get out!

1690
01:15:04,375 --> 01:15:06,333
And you!

1691
01:15:06,333 --> 01:15:07,959
Get out!

1692
01:15:07,959 --> 01:15:11,125
And you.

1693
01:15:11,125 --> 01:15:12,792
Well, you own the place so I
can't really tell you to get out

1694
01:15:12,792 --> 01:15:17,125
but I'm not very happy
with you, either.

1695
01:15:17,125 --> 01:15:18,417
That's fair.

1696
01:15:18,417 --> 01:15:21,500
Erin... just take a look
at these.

1697
01:15:30,542 --> 01:15:32,000
What did you do?

1698
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,917
It was them.

1699
01:15:33,917 --> 01:15:34,750
It's true.

1700
01:15:34,750 --> 01:15:37,125
It's our fault.

1701
01:15:37,125 --> 01:15:40,166
But we just wanna know how
to fix it.

1702
01:15:40,166 --> 01:15:42,417
So what do we say?

1703
01:15:42,417 --> 01:15:44,125
How do we fix this?

1704
01:16:10,709 --> 01:16:11,750
Erin, I got your message.

1705
01:16:11,750 --> 01:16:13,083
What...

1706
01:16:31,041 --> 01:16:32,625
I still don't understand
what we're doing here.

1707
01:16:32,625 --> 01:16:35,125
Just trust me, ok?

1708
01:16:35,125 --> 01:16:36,458
Ok.

1709
01:16:38,166 --> 01:16:39,166
Wow.

1710
01:16:39,166 --> 01:16:40,583
Amigo.

1711
01:17:08,625 --> 01:17:13,166
"My date with Conner
was unexpected.

1712
01:17:13,166 --> 01:17:15,792
"Not because it turns out
that he's charming and funny.

1713
01:17:15,792 --> 01:17:16,625
"I had gotten glimpses

1714
01:17:16,625 --> 01:17:20,041
"of those qualities on
our previous dates."

1715
01:17:20,041 --> 01:17:21,417
"No, the date with Conner
was unexpected

1716
01:17:21,417 --> 01:17:24,208
"because I realized that
our horrible dates were really

1717
01:17:24,208 --> 01:17:27,667
"our own faults.

1718
01:17:27,667 --> 01:17:29,333
"Our scars from past
relationships meant that

1719
01:17:29,333 --> 01:17:33,875
"we weren't willing to give each
other the benefit of the doubt."

1720
01:17:33,875 --> 01:17:35,750
"Leigh's willingness
to throw caution to the wind

1721
01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:37,959
"and go out on a
spur-of-the-moment date

1722
01:17:37,959 --> 01:17:43,291
"made me look at her
in a whole new light."

1723
01:17:43,291 --> 01:17:45,583
"She not only accepted
this folly,

1724
01:17:45,583 --> 01:17:48,709
"she also embraced the chance
to jump off a very tall bridge

1725
01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:50,875
"with only a very thin
bungee cord

1726
01:17:50,875 --> 01:17:54,291
"and I admire her bravery."

1727
01:17:54,291 --> 01:17:57,125
"Here's the thing about doubt.

1728
01:17:57,125 --> 01:17:59,333
"It's just a distraction.

1729
01:17:59,333 --> 01:18:00,750
"It's easy to get distracted
by the things

1730
01:18:00,750 --> 01:18:01,834
"that don't really matter

1731
01:18:01,834 --> 01:18:04,583
"but that's what makes it
all the more exciting

1732
01:18:04,583 --> 01:18:06,041
"when you can see past those
distractions to find

1733
01:18:06,041 --> 01:18:08,709
"the real person
standing behind them.

1734
01:18:11,542 --> 01:18:13,333
"I saw Conner for the first
time last night,

1735
01:18:13,333 --> 01:18:17,125
"and I hope it's not the last."

1736
01:18:17,125 --> 01:18:20,166
"Hands clammy, mouths dry,
hearts pounding.

1737
01:18:20,166 --> 01:18:22,500
"Leigh and I stood together
on the precipice,

1738
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:26,667
"risking a fall but eagerly
anticipating the act of falling.

1739
01:18:26,667 --> 01:18:28,542
"And together we leapt."

1740
01:18:32,041 --> 01:18:34,750
You wrote this?

1741
01:18:34,750 --> 01:18:35,917
You?

1742
01:18:35,917 --> 01:18:40,250
Mmmhmm.

1743
01:18:40,250 --> 01:18:41,834
Can I ask you a question?

1744
01:18:41,834 --> 01:18:44,417
Ok.

1745
01:18:44,417 --> 01:18:48,250
Can we count this as
our first real date?

1746
01:18:48,250 --> 01:18:50,625
Sure.

1747
01:18:50,625 --> 01:18:55,166
Then why aren't you giving me
that goodnight kiss?

1748
01:18:55,166 --> 01:18:57,250
Because I'm not ready
to say goodnight.

1749
01:19:02,709 --> 01:19:04,875
Bradley, stop it.

1750
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:12,792
Yeah, dude!

1751
01:19:12,792 --> 01:19:16,000
( laughing )

1752
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,333
Ok, ok.

1753
01:19:41,125 --> 01:19:42,458
Hey!

1754
01:19:42,458 --> 01:19:44,417
Woo!

1755
01:19:44,417 --> 01:19:45,166
A toast!

1756
01:19:45,166 --> 01:19:46,709
Somebody has to make
a toast.

1757
01:19:46,709 --> 01:19:49,250
I think Conner should go first.

1758
01:19:49,250 --> 01:19:50,417
Ok.

1759
01:19:50,417 --> 01:19:51,709
Alright.

1760
01:19:53,333 --> 01:19:54,125
Well.

1761
01:19:54,125 --> 01:19:54,834
Thank you.

1762
01:19:54,834 --> 01:19:56,166
You're welcome.

1763
01:19:56,166 --> 01:20:01,875
To new beginnings, old friends,
and that's all I've got.

1764
01:20:01,875 --> 01:20:03,125
( laughs )

1765
01:20:03,125 --> 01:20:04,709
Wait, wait. I have one.

1766
01:20:04,709 --> 01:20:06,917
To the end of The Bad Date
Chronicles and the beginning

1767
01:20:06,917 --> 01:20:10,750
of the real love stories column,
non-fiction.

1768
01:20:10,750 --> 01:20:12,291
I have to hand it to you guys,
I didn't think anyone

1769
01:20:12,291 --> 01:20:14,792
would want to read
about that last date.

1770
01:20:14,792 --> 01:20:19,041
And who knew it would have
been our most popular post?

1771
01:20:19,041 --> 01:20:20,166
But enough of that
romantic stuff.

1772
01:20:20,166 --> 01:20:23,083
The real reason we're here
to celebrate.

1773
01:20:23,083 --> 01:20:26,250
A union between the Richards
Record and Peters Post.

1774
01:20:26,250 --> 01:20:27,750
A partnership.

1775
01:20:27,750 --> 01:20:29,834
To the Richards Peters Report.

1776
01:20:31,291 --> 01:20:32,625
Wait a second.

1777
01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:34,083
Why does your name go first?

1778
01:20:36,417 --> 01:20:37,458
We talked about this.

1779
01:20:37,458 --> 01:20:40,166
Because my site has been
around a lot longer than yours.

1780
01:20:40,166 --> 01:20:41,667
Yeah, but I have a more
engaged audience.

1781
01:20:41,667 --> 01:20:42,458
Engaged?

1782
01:20:42,458 --> 01:20:44,375
Wait, my audience
is very engaged.

1783
01:20:44,375 --> 01:20:46,625
How long until they realize
they're in love with each other?

1784
01:20:46,625 --> 01:20:49,500
I think we should set them up
on a few bad dates.

1785
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:50,375
...so then my name
goes first-

1786
01:20:50,375 --> 01:20:53,125
Which is why we're here having
this partnership.

1787
01:20:53,125 --> 01:20:54,458
Why a bad date?

1788
01:20:54,458 --> 01:20:55,959
Because sometimes you need
a few bad dates

1789
01:20:55,959 --> 01:20:58,375
to know which ones
you really like.

1790
01:20:58,375 --> 01:21:00,417
