"Too bad, buddy. I told you it wouldn't work," he replies and grabs the TV remote. "Wanna watch that show I was talking about?"

"It's about these two guys who are detectives in New York, but they aren't taken seriously because--"

"Do you think she knows it was me?"

"And they have to figure out every case in a day, otherwise they are going to be--"

"I shouldn't have said my name, that was dumb."

"Chill out. She just broke up with her boyfriend, don't you think it's a little soon to be making the move on her?" Vince lays his elbow on the side of the couch and rests his head in his hand.

"I'm not 'making the move' on her. I just want to talk to her, and I think the only way I have the nerve to, is without having to do it face to face."

Vince shrugs and turns on the TV.
