Okay. I will.
I love you.
Me, too.

He has food poisoning.
No, he'll be there

Lisa?
All right.
Hello?
Lisa?
Here. sweetie. Just take one of these
to help you sleep on the plane.
That line--what it does to your calf--
that is what we call sexy.
Wanna try pink? Hmm?
- Okay.
- Okay. Have a seat.
Hey. There you are.
Where you been?
You look like shit.
I hope she was worth it.
Hey, do we have
a size ten in pink?
Yeah, in the back.
- Hey, Ellie.
- Hey.
- I gotta talk to you.
- Lady Dragon Shoes.
Ow. So, who is she?
You wouldn't believe me.
Betcha I do. I probably even know her.
What's her name?
That's the thing.
You don't know her name?
Oh, man.
I know that she's a dancer.
You mean, like a stripper?
No, shithead.
Like a real dancer.
Oh, God.
I love a dancer's body. Ooh.
But her face is like...
Her eyes...
...and her...skin is just...
She just makes me all...
What is "wha" and "duh"? She just
makes you more inarticulate than usual.
You are obsessed,
which I don't understand.
I mean, I don't know how
you decide on just one.
I mean, my customer over there--
she's got great legs. Ellie.
All right? There is
something hot about Ellie.
The blonde at the window.
I mean, come on.
What are you doing?
Matty, are you all right?
Lady Dragon Shoes.
Can I help you?
The blonde?
What are you doing?
Give me some shoes.
- Shoes?
- Yeah.
Got lots of shoes.
I'm sorry I took so long.
Pink. It's my last pair.
Could I help you with anything?
Yes.
Those shoes in the window.
The black ones
with the red sole.
I'd like to try them on, please.
The blacks and reds. Okay.
I'll just go in the back
and get them for you.
That's where we keep them--
in the back--so...
I'll be right back.
Uh, Matty?
Maybe you'd like to ask the lady
what size shoe she wears.
- Right.
- 8 1/2.
Like Fellini.
Right.
I mean his movie, not his shoe size.
I don't know his shoe size, obviously.
8 1/2.
Shit.
What was that?
Fellini! What the hell
was I thinking?
I have no idea.
But you were right about one thing.
God, she's beautiful.
And you, my man,
are an idiot.
All right, look.
Here's the thing, all right?
You've obviously blown it,
she obviously hates you,
so you stay right here
and let the man take a shot.
- Shut up. Give me the shoes.
- All right. Go.
Just remember--
you're not funny.
Here we go.
Black and red.
What do you think?
They're too big.
Too big? Really?
Luke, these are 9 1/2s.
I'm sorry.
That's the smallest size we have.
Oh, well. Too bad.
Not--you know...
not necessarily.
We can order these for you.
Special order. And, uh--
I can, uh, if you leave your number,
I can give you a call personally
when they come in.
Do you normally spy on people?
What?
Are you really gonna tell me that
you're a huge fan of modern dance?
Look, I've never done
anything like that before.
Honestly--could you let me take you out
for a cup of coffee and explain?
I don't think so.
I'll stay on my side of the table.
I promise.
Just call me
when the shoes come in, okay?
Listen, I'm not
what you think I am, okay?
Shit.

Well, my parents eventually split up,
and my mom moved back to Prague.
But my dad's still here.
He lives in California.
I wish I was in California right now.
So, why did you want
