43INT. HARVARD SQ. DINER: "THE TASTY" -- NIGHT

A FRY COOK hands Will and Skylar a pair of CHEESEBURGERS.

SKYLAR

Have you ever seen Annie Hall?

WILL

No.

SKYLAR

Well, there's this part of the movie

that's about how there's always this

tension on a first date where both

people are thinking about what's going

to happen with the whole 'good night

kiss' thing.

Will smiles.

WILL

I really don't 'date' that much.

SKYLAR

(laughs)

You know what I mean. I know you've

at least thought about it.

WILL

No I haven't...

SKYLAR

Yes you have. You were thinking you

were gonna get a good night kiss.

WILL

(mock protest)

No I wasn't...

SKYLAR

Yes you were.

WILL

I was kinda' hopin' to get a "good night

laid" but...I'll take a kiss.

She laughs.

SKYLAR

Oh, you will?

WILL

No...I was hoping to get a kiss.

SKYLAR

Then why don't we just get it out of

the way.

He looks at her.

WILL

Now?

Both of them have cheeseburger in their mouths.

SKYLAR

Yeah.

They kiss, mouths full of burger. It's nice. A beat.

SKYLAR (cont'd)

That had to be the worst good night

kiss...

Will laughs.

WILL

Hey, look lady, I'm just here for the

free food.

She smiles.
