You look exactly like the kind of guy who stresses out. Especially when it comes to impressing me. Or when it comes to babysitting those kids you always are hanging around with.

[beamer]

[ wow. he wasn't ready to be so easily read like that. how did this happen??? ]

Okay, you got me.

I do want to make sure you're impressed but it's very much a different kind of stress than when it comes to those hooligans. [ coolness level plummeting, he's sure. ]

[cheerleader]

Hooligans?

You sound like you're sixty years old, Steve. You're lucky I agreed to go on this date with you. I may be able to breathe some life into you.

[beamer]

Hooligan was a dad choice, I admit.

Teach me to be cool again, Chrissy.

[cheerleader]

I don't know. Do you really think I can do it?

[she's discovered that she loves teasing him]

[beamer]

And here I thought I could count on you.

[cheerleader]

I mean, you can! But you can also count on me to tease you a little. Someone other than Robin has to.

[beamer]

Trust me, Robin really has it handled. [ the kids too. what has his life become? ] I need someone on my team!

[cheerleader]

I'm always on your team. That's part of the whole dating package I think.

[they haven't really talked about it but they go to the movies on dates. he takes her out to do other things too. that's dating, isn't it?]

[beamer]

Yeah, it is. [ and they are even if they haven't really labeled it. ] You have to act surprised when I charmingly bring this up tonight after the movie.

[cheerleader]

I promise I'll act really surprised. But you have to promise to act like you're nervous when you decide to bring it up.

[beamer]

Nervous and a little charming I can do.

It'll feel like the real deal then. [ will be the real deal then too. ]

[cheerleader]

You're not against fooling around in the middle of the movie, are you? Because if you're that charming, I might be inspired.

[beamer]

What? That's the best part.

I'll have to kick up the charm then.
