00:00 - That reminds me.
00:01 I've thought about this cake thing.

00:07 - Bringing cakes into bars.
00:09 - Yeah.

00:12 and it's a really good idea.
00:15 - Yeah, 'cause that won't be weird
00:16 sitting in bars with cake.
00:18 - Jane.
00:19 It's Los Angeles, okay?
00:22 Everyone here is weird.
00:23 - Sure, but sounds like you want me to bait guys
00:28 with sugar.
00:29 - Yeah, it's an aphrodisiac.
00:31 - Do you hear yourself?
00:34 - What?
00:35 - That sounds like a great way to get featured
00:38 on the "To Catch a Predator" reboot.
00:41 It does not sound like a great way
00:42 to boost my law school extracurriculars.
00:44 - And I get that.
00:46 I do.
00:47 But don't you wanna go to grad school
00:48 feeling super confident?

00:53 All those guys laughing at your jokes
00:55 about convection ovens?

01:00 - What are you talking about?
01:01 They were laughing because it was a good joke.
01:04 I was talking about how convection ovens
01:06 distribute heat differently.
01:07 - Oh, that's really funny.
01:10 That is really funny.
01:12 You do this, you will meet all sorts of guys
01:15 all over the city, okay?
01:16 Think about it as you're on ramp
01:17 to testing out different flavors
01:21 and figuring out what you like and what you don't like.
01:25 - Are you being serious?
01:26 - Mm-hmm, you're doing it.
01:28 - If you do it with me.
01:31 - Yes, I'm doing it with you.
01:33 Duh.
01:34 Do I ever turn down baked goods?
01:35 - You do love you some baked goods.
