>> SHANE: You're pretty handy with that knife.
>> JEFF: Years of experience.
>> SHANE: I can see that.
>> JEFF: Well, as I recall, during the job in Italy you showed some serious skill yourself.
>> SHANE: Oh, that's why you first asked me out!
>> JEFF: That is one of the reasons. Shall we?
>> SHANE: We certainly shall. I've been looking forward to this all week.
>> JEFF: I will take that as a compliment.
>> SHANE: Agreeing to a third date wasn't enough of a compliment for you?
Aw, all this for me!
>> JEFF: No, actually, this is for the date I have afterwards, but she cancelled, so . . .
Cheers.
>> SHANE: Cheers.
[phone rings]
>> SHANE: Shit, it might be work.
>> JEFF: If that's work, you should probably get it.
>> SHANE: This is Hunter.
>> EVAN: Hey, Shane?
>> SHANE: Evan?
>> EVAN: Do you always answer the phone like that?
>> SHANE: Sorry, I thought you were work. Look, now's not really a good time.
>> EVAN: Really? Damn. I just had one question.
>> SHANE: Go ahead.
>> EVAN: Has Astra put anything into her Survival skill?
>> SHANE: What? I don't know, I'm kind of on a date!
>> EVAN: So you don't have your character sheet on you, then.
>> SHANE: Evan.
>> EVAN: Kidding. Call me back when you can, okay?
>> SHANE: Okay, I'll talk to you—[beep]
>> SHANE: All right, other call. Gotta go. Bye.
>> SHANE: This is Hunter.
>> WILL: Your last name's Hunter?
>> SHANE: Will?
>> WILL: With that name, you better be an assassin, or a secret agent. Or something.
>> SHANE: Don't be ridiculous, Will.
>> WILL: I need . . . relationship advice.
>> SHANE: Well, it's not a good time right now—wait, you're calling me to ask for relationship
advice?
>> WILL: Who else am I gonna ask?
>> SHANE: What about Arthur?
>> WILL: Arthur. Relationship advice.
>> SHANE: Good point. Look, it's really not a good time—
>> WILL: Brittany doesn't seem to want anything. You know? She just always goes along with
what I say.
>> SHANE: I'm on a date, Will!
>> WILL: I know, right? When we're gaming she seems to dig me, but on a date, uh, it's
hard to tell.
Evan says she likes me, but I don't know what the fuck to think.
>> SHANE: Well. If she's going along with what your saying, maybe that's her way of
telling you that she likes you and she wants you to be happy.
Okay? Now, I've really gotta—[beep]
Fuck!
>> WILL: You really gotta fuck? Nice.
>> SHANE: Other call. Done with this. Bye!
This is Hunter?
>> BRITTANY: Hi, Shane? Are you busy?
>> SHANE: Yes!
>> BRITTANY: Oh. Okay! I'll see you next game.
>> SHANE: No, no, Brit, I'm sorry. I've only got a sec. What is it?
>> BRITTANY: Well, I don't know what to do about Will.
>> SHANE: Figures.
>> BRITTANY: Pardon?
>> SHANE: You aren't sure if he likes you.
>> BRITTANY: How did you know?
>> SHANE: Intuition. Listen, if I were to guess,
I'd say that Will's the kind of guy who likes a girl who takes charge.
>> BRITTANY: Takes charge?
>> SHANE: Yeah, think like Corillia. She takes the lead, she says what she feels, she does
what she wants.
>> BRITTANY: So, I should be more like Corillia?
>> SHANE: Couldn't hurt.
>> BRITTANY: I hope not.
>> SHANE: Uh-huh. Listen, Brit, I really gotta go before Arthur calls.
>> BRITTANY: Arthur's gonna call you?
>> SHANE: I hope not. Bye.
Sorry, Jeff.
>> JEFF: Don't apologize. You're worth waiting for.
>> SHANE: That is such a line!
>> JEFF: But it worked.
>> SHANE: Maybe.
[phone rings]
>> SHANE: It'll get cold!
>> JEFF: In this business, we can't afford to miss calls.
>> SHANE: Thank you.
This is Hunter.
>> ARTHUR: Shane, is it ever okay to cheat?
>> SHANE: Arthur? Goodbye.
>> JEFF: Was that a friend of yours?
>> SHANE: Just people I game with.
>> JEFF: Oh, right, the LARP! How's that going? Is that fun?
>> SHANE: It's fine! They're a good group.
>> JEFF: Did you—did the training come in helpful?
>> SHANE: Certainly didn't hurt.
>> JEFF: And, do they know?
>> SHANE: No. They don't.
>> JEFF: Well, I'm glad you're having fun.
>> SHANE: Thank you.
>> JEFF: Do you—do you find it hard to keep up with them?
>> SHANE: What do you mean?
>> JEFF: Well, I'm sure just on time alone, they probably have a huge advantage.
>> SHANE: Why would you say that?
>> JEFF: Well, Shane, you have other hobbies, and you have other friends, and you have a
life.
>> SHANE: What?
>> JEFF: It sounds harsh. I'm sure they're nice people.
I just, I've heard of LARPers taking the game a little too seriously.
>> SHANE: Uh-huh.
>> JEFF: And, look, they each just called you.
So, they have nothing to do on a Saturday night!
>> SHANE: Okay.
>> JEFF: Oh, I'm just teasing you.
>> SHANE: Yeah! Uh, listen, I'll see you around,
if our job ever puts us in the same place again.
>> JEFF: Wait, what's wrong! I didn't call you a nerd!
>> SHANE: I'm really more of a geek.
>> JEFF: Nerd, geek, what's the difference?
>> SHANE: I don't know. I just know what I am.
>> JEFF: Hey, wait. Hey, hey. Shane.
Look, look. I don't have a problem with you exploring your inner geek!
>> SHANE: You see how that goes for you.
>> JEFF: Hm.
>> SHANE: Hey, Evan?
>> EVAN: Shane? I didn't mean call me back in five minutes!
>> SHANE: It's okay. I've got time.
Look, I checked. I don't have any ranks in Survival.
>> EVAN: Really? Oh, well. You can always rely on your friends to help you.
>> SHANE: Yeah. I guess so.
