- MOM: Wasn’t he your teacher?LISA: So?(makes a face at her short skirt, adds boots, tights)MOMJust, I don’t know. Are you sure it’s a date?LISA (now wearing more nerdy/bookish look)Well, he picked a time and place and asked me to meet him. Seems like a date.MOM: But, do you really want to date him? I mean, he’s an established writer. He could be a great reference. LISA: Mom, I know it offends your Catholic sensibilities, but I’ve been divorced for almost a year now. I’m qualified girlfriend material. But I really have to go. Bye.MOM: Make sure you have enough money to cover your dinner!
- Lisa grabs and hangs up her phone, throws it in her purse, then checks wallet. It’s empty.

- SFX: City sounds.STEVE is getting out of a cab, sees LISA locking up her bike.
- STEVE: You rode your bike?LISA: I’d say it’s great exercise, but (considers her words), really, it’s the fastest way to get around the city.
- STEVE gives an awkward peck on LISA’s cheek.
- STEVE looks at her appreciatively. It’s a little creepy, but LISA doesn’t notice.STEVE: Looks like it’s great exercise, too.
- STEVE gets the door and touches the small of her back as they enter the restaurant. We see LISA grinning.
- LISA and STEVE are seated, chatting.WAITER approaches with menus.
- WAITER: May I get you something to drink while you look at the menu?
- LISA: Water’s fine.
- STEVE: Just because I don’t- Have a glass of wine if you like.
- LISA: I’d like water, please.
- STEVE: I’ll have sparkling water, with lime.WAITER: Very good. I’ll be right back.
- STEVE: You didn’t need to—LISA (interrupts): That’s something I think we have in common, actually.STEVE (looks at her, puzzled)LISA (smiles): I don’t either. Drink, that is.
- STEVE (looking around the room): Oh?
- LISA: Between your essay in GQ, “On Finishing Last,” and that Modern Love, “Waiting for Munro,” I figured you were in AA.
- STEVE (pleased): You read them both?LISA: Oh, everything I could find. STEVE (less pleased): But how could you tell?
- LISA: Well, from class I knew you didn’t drink. Then in GQ you wrote, “Easy does it. But do it.” And in the Times, when she asked if you wanted a drink you said, “Not today.” Normal people don’t say that.STEVE: Hunh. Ok.LISA: I just thought, well, my ex—
- STEVE (confused and peeved to be talking exes): Your ex… husband?LISA: Yes! Huge drinker. He was always going out. I didn’t realize how much I hated it until… (trails off, losing certainty)
- WAITER: (returns with drinks): Are you ready to order?LISA: No.(at the same time as STEVE)STEVE: Yes.LISA looks at him a bit startled.
