Matt: Afternoon, beautiful.
Anah: Afternoon.
Matt: Is there something you want to tell me?
Anah: No.
Matt: You sure?
Anah: Yes.
Matt: So... there's nothing you want to tell me about what's happening tonight?
Anah: No.
Matt: Anah, don't lie to me.
Anah: I'm not lying.
Matt: You are.
Anah: I'm omitting... there's a difference.
Matt: Ok, so let me rephrase. What are you omitting?
Anah: Ah, you got me on that.
Anah: Does this have something to do with the date tonight?
Matt: *nods* Yep.
Anah: How did you hear about it?
Matt: I have my sources.
Anah: I was gonna tell you.
Matt: I'm sure you were.
Anah: It's not as bad as it sounds, I swear.
Matt: How could Maggie and Sutter's date be bad?
Anah: Well- Huh? Maggie and Sutter's date?
Matt: Yeah. They're going out tonight.
Anah: They are?
Matt: You didn't know?
Anah: No, I didn't. They're going on a date?
Matt: You seriously had no idea?
Anah: No. Well... I guess it kinda makes sense. They get along pretty well.
Matt: If you didn't know about Maggie and Sutter's date- what date were you talking about?
Anah: What?
Matt: The 'it's not as bad as it sounds' date.
Anah: Umm...
Matt: Anah?
Anah: You know how Haley and Ben split?
Matt: Yeah...
Anah: Haley's going on a date.
Matt: Right.
Anah: But it's a casual date.
Matt: Ok.
Anah: A casual double date.
Matt: And?
Anah: No, that's it.
Matt: You're missing out one important piece of information.
Anah: I am?
Matt: Like who is going on the double date.
Anah: Umm, well- there's Haley and me.
Matt: And?
Anah: Derek Strudwick.
Matt: And?
Anah: Nate Casey.
Matt: Where are you all going?
Anah: Fletcher's.
Matt: Ok. Enjoy your date. Speak later.
Anah: That's it?
