OF DIMLY LIT RESTAURANT, NIGHT. <em>An attractive woman in her 40s stands up and bursts into tears as she sees a man walk towards her table. </em></p><p>KELLY: I can’t believe you came! Twenty years I’ve waited. There was never anyone but you, Ryan. You’re the one! You’ve always been the one!</p><p>RYAN: Oh man, I totally forgot about that. I just get takeout from here sometimes. Sorry, it’s Rhonda, right? Try the salmon teriyaki.</p><p>***</p><p>EXT. DAY, NEW YORK CITY. <em>A couple in their early 20s sits on a park bench.</em></p><p>GERT: I didn’t think you’d call.</p><p>JOE: Actually, I didn’t plan to, but I was hoping you’d loan me $10 so I can get back to Park Slope.</p><p>GERT: I’d invite you back to my place, but my roommate has a &#8220;no overnight guests policy,&#8221; and well, we have bedbugs again.</p><p>JOE: Hey, it’s cool. I’d rather get back home. When we met at the bar last night, the light was dimmer, and I didn’t realize your face was like that.</p><p><em>Gert gets up and walks away crying.

Excuse me while I pretend to take a call even though I lost my iPhone yesterday in a cab.</p><p>***</p><p>INT. SHABBY LIVING ROOM, DAY. <em>Roommates COLIN and JANET sit in their Astoria apartment.</em></p><p>JANET: You know what they say, true love’s always just under your nose. Come on, let’s go out to a beautiful romantic spot in the West Village so I can take off my glasses and you can realize how beautiful I am.</p><p>COLIN: That’s like an hour on the N train! And why spend 12 bucks on a drink? Let’s just look under the futon mattress for change and get beer.</p><p>JANET: Whatever, I have to work at two of my three jobs tomorrow. I’m going to bed.</p><p><em>Janet walks to her room and goes to slam the door, until she remembers it’s only a curtain partitioning off the living room.</em></p><p>***</p><p>INT.

I find you attractive. Do you find me attractive? One day you’ll age, and I can promise you, sweetheart, you’ll never regret going home with that guy from the club who’s a total tomcat in the sack.</p><p>BEAUTIFUL WOMAN: Dude, you know other people besides you were allowed to see <em>Crazy Stupid Love</em>, too, right?</p><p>***</p><p>INT. ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT, NIGHT. <em>A 46 year-old-Orthodontist sits at his computer filling out his J-Date profile.
