00:00I'm going to see Donna later today. Her sister's been asking about you again.
00:20What should I tell her? You could tell her to stop.
00:23She really wants to meet you. Why don't you just ask her to dinner sometime?
00:25I need a secretary, not a girlfriend. But thank you.
00:28I'm just trying to help you out. What do you want?
00:31Well, I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy birthday, but clearly the moment's past.
00:35Oh, my parents are treating me to dinner and a movie tomorrow night. Can you come?
00:40Hey, look at this. Frank and Lorraine out on the town.
00:43Oh, boy.
00:44Is that your girlfriend? She's pretty.
00:46But Lorraine is our dyke friend. Frank's merely playing the part of her beard.
00:50It's kind of a hobby.
00:52Frank.
00:53Brad.
00:53Did you hear the news? Getting a new teacher next week.
00:55Whoever spots her first gets to smash.
00:57Frank?
00:58Yes.
01:00Oh, my God.
01:02Wow.
01:02You guys know each other?
01:04We grew up together.
01:05Did he tell you who's back?
01:06Who?
01:07Judy Flanagan works at our school now. Judy's this girl that Frank used to know.
01:10They used to make each other valentines. And then the one time she made a valentine for
01:13somebody else, Frank cried for like two hours.
01:15No, I didn't.
01:16You never told me you were in love with her.
01:18I wasn't. It was kid stuff.
01:20Hey.
01:21Hey. What's going on?
01:23Brad invited everyone to this place in Northern Liberties. You should come.
01:27So you're ditching me?
01:28Sorry.
01:29Lorraine, this is Teddy.
01:31So does anyone know you're into chicks?
01:33My best friend.
01:34So? He's okay with it?
01:36Who are we hiding from out here?
01:38Parents.
01:39My mother.
01:40You're letting this thing with Lorraine get to you.
01:42No, I'm not.
01:43Why would you allow yourself to feel that way? She's not like us.
01:46Yeah, I know.
01:46We're going up against biology here. Natural selection.
01:50Everybody's acting like this should be some kind of learning experience.
01:52I don't want it to be a trial run. I want it to be her.
01:55I guess part of me always thought it would be.
02:04Maybe I was a little naive back then. I'm wiser now.
02:06Back then I talked the talk without really walking the walk.
02:09Oh, so you walk the walk now?
02:10No, I just talk a little less.
02:12Yeah, I'm not seeing that at all.
