_{you're sure of that?}

[ferris patenaude]

_{one hundred percent, except for the part where you like me too. that's about eighty percent and that's where i need you to fill in the rest.}

[thea lincoln]

_{well, what if i do?}

[ferris patenaude]

_{then you'll go out with me tomorrow night.}

[thea lincoln]

_{you're really going to do this, with someone as jaded as i am?}

[ferris patenaude]

_{it adds a whole extra level of fun to it, the challenge of changing your mind about love and relationships.}

[thea lincoln]

_{you're just asking for trouble, but i'll accept your challenge.}

[ferris patenaude]

_{if you're trouble, then i want all the trouble i can get.}

[thea lincoln]

_{is that how you get dates with every girl?}

[ferris patenaude]

_{how? by asking? generally, yes.}

[thea lincoln]

_{not what i meant. but what are we going to do?}

[ferris patenaude]

_{we could make a gameplan right now, or i could surprise you. what would you prefer?}

[thea lincoln]

_{i think i've got to mentally prepare myself, so the former.}

[ferris patenaude]

_{alright, why don't you come over to my place, i'll cook you dinner - no pressure if the date starts at my apartment instead of the other way around - and then we can go somewhere fun. do you like jazz clubs?}

[thea lincoln]

_{i've never been, actually, but if you like them, i'll trust your judgment.}
