- That was a funny joke; she should have laughed more.
- It was.
- I better go tell her.
- Let it go, Today.  We already got our food...and I'm hungry.  
- Probably flirty with the cook—What's she doing with hamburgers when she's got prime rib right here?
- There's a table.  Come on.
- All right.
- So this is your campus, huh?
- Lots of girls!  
- Pray they have a sense of humor.
- Uh-oh, that guy's going to want to say hi.  Introduce yourself first so he can give you his name.  I've already gone a few exchanges to ask him his name now—better yet, let's go back around the other way.
- Just sit down.
- Okay, I'll have my back to him.  But if he comes around, you throw your name out before he talks to me.
- Why don't you just call him Playa.
- I'll figure it out while we eat...
- This looks really good.
- One of these days he's going to test me, I just know it...
- I think it's a pretty smart choice.
- Prolly just avoid him from now on...
- What were you talking about?  I wasn't listening...protein on my mind.
- Hey, I'm going to get a membership to the gym.  I took a tour of the place.
- Take advantage of the guest pass, Today.  You do it a couple times, and you can go with the momentum of a routine.  The hardest part is the anxiety before taking action, or in your case, the laziness.
- Oh, I'm going to take action—the tour girl told me they have financial aid available.
- For the gym?  
- Yea, I'm being real coy with her when it comes to fees because I want that money, but she's hot, too—so I don't want her to know I'm a freeloader.
- The gym's not going to give you money.
- Why not?  The school did.
- You gonna study, Workin' out?  The gym's a business—well, so is the school, but they mean a lighter payment plan for the poor.
- So how can I get them to think I'm poor—
- And the girl to think you don't live with your parents?
- Exactly.
- Why don't you ask your classmate?  The upstart.
- Oh that guy's making moves.  He's always got his ear to the street.
- You've had your ear to the street, too, lots of times.  Remember when I had to take you home?  Hey!  Sign up for the gym before you don't know what else to do with your hard earned money.
- All right, all right.
- And I'll go with you on your guest pass to get you into the habit, you know, sooner better than later.
- All right, I will...I got some homework to do tonight.  I want to keep up with this grandma for teacher's favor.
- Guess what?
- You have a plan.
- Oh, right, the fuckin' plan...
- What?
- Nothing, talking into air.
- What was it, your plan?
- Stop saying Plan—I can't work under these deadlines and parameters!
- What?
- Nothing, talking into air again... All right, you're free on Sunday?
- Yea.
- Nothing better to do with your time?
- I got some reading to do.
- Are you going to do it?
- I'll probably just think about myself.
- And you want to pay me back?
- Oh, definitely.  I'll do better than—Wait...you sly dog, I know what you're thinking!
- I don't think you do...
