— He said "no".
— Then why are you smiling?
— Because I had the nerve to call the guy. And sometimes the right kind of no is better than the wrong kind of yes.

See, I have a policy. I won't go out with guys who won't tell me their names. I find it weeds out the ones who like to keep secrets, like they're already married or they store body parts in their freezer.

— I've had a really nice time.
— Yeah.
— I'll call you.
— When? When are you gonna call me?

She's a slave to her mobile... while he's thinking, Well, I'll call her... tomorrow, some day, Monday. Doesn't matter. Well, here's a hint, yeah? It matters. It matters a lot.
— Tomorrow. I'll call you tomorrow.
— No, fuck off.
