- Josh: You know Stein, why don't you cut yourself a break. It's obviously not the time to be meeting someone anyway.
- Jessica: [sarcastically] Really? What? Not the season?
- Josh: No. It's just because you're clearly not open to it.
- Jessica: [laughs] Excuse me? I'm sorry. How would you know?
- Josh: Well, I do have a little history to draw from. But even if I didn't, you've known Charles here for about an hour and in that time you've dismissed a panoply of men based on factors as reductive as a linguistic misstep, a different view from yours on going dutch, a kind reaction to your legendary lateness, and a genuine interest in yoga. You know, I think it was Anais Nin who said, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."
- [chuckles]
- Josh: Generally I'm not much of a Nin fan, but I do feel that bit sums you up to a "T", Stein. So I don't think the problem's with these poor men, these freaks and morons, as you put it. I think the problem is with you.
- Josh: [after confessing his feelings to Jessica, he kisses her] So I guess I'd like to know if you have some sort of reaction to this. More specifically, do you want to have dinner with me tomorrow night?
- [she doesn't respond at first, and Josh adopts a look of defeat and embarrassment]
- Josh: Well, if you'll excuse me, I definitely need another drink.
- Jessica: [she stops him] No, wait. I'd love to have dinner with you, but I can't.
- Josh: What? Not the season?
- Jessica: [laughs nervously] No. I mean I cant have dinner with you because I'm with Helen.
- Josh: Oh, you're having dinner with Helen?
- Jessica: No. I mean I'm *with* Helen.
- Josh: [he looks at her in disbelief] Like *with* with Helen?
- Jessica: Right *with* with.
- Helen: [Helen enters from the stairwell] Jessica, they're starting to serve dinner.
- [Jessica exits]
- Helen: Hey, Josh.
- Josh: [still can't believe what he's just heard] Helen...
- [beat]
- Josh: how are you?
- Helen: [smiles] I'm good thanks.
- [she exits]
