Amy
nods in agreement, figuring she'll let Jenn have this one. Dax sits
back down and the conversation continues.
Dax:
Sorry ladies, it looks like if you want a demonstration, you'll have
to come by my office. I'm in all next week.
Jenn: Great.
Amy:
Will you guys excuse me?
Dax:
Sure.
Amy
gets up and moves to the living room. She looks at the passed out
form of Duncan and then sits on the couch beside Lenny, who is now by
himself as Rich & Janey have retired to the upstairs.
Amy:
Hi, we've met, haven't we?
Lenny:
Yeah, at Janey's party last year and I think Rich's birthday at
Sharkey's.
Amy:
Oh yeah, how ya doin?
Lenny:
Not bad for a fifth wheel.
Amy:
I know the feeling.
Lenny:
Really?
Amy
motions to Dax & Jenn.
Lenny:
They together already? I thought you guys just met.
Amy:
We did.
Lenny:
Then what gives, you're way prettier than her.
Amy:
(chuckling) Stop.
Lenny:
Just saying.
Amy:
I dunno, guess I figured it wasn't worth the effort.
Lenny:
He seems all right to me.
Amy:
Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I guess I'm just in a giving mood
tonight.
Lenny:
Really?
Jenn
and Dax go outside into the backyard, as the glass sliding door
opens, Amy shoots a glance over there. Lenny takes the opportunity
to move closer to her.
Amy:
Well, what about you? If you were in the same situation with Rich,
wouldn't you step aside?
Lenny:
Never happen.
Amy:
You wouldn't do it?
Lenny:
No, I mean it's not a fair comparison. No girl is going to pick me
over Rich.
Amy:
What kind of attitude is that?
Lenny:
Hey, I don't make the rules.
Amy:
Whatever, say it did happen, would you?
Lenny:
I dunno. Probably.
Nick,
Marco, Lizzie & Diana all head down to the basement.
Amy:
What's on the tube?
Lenny:
Not much, just the news. Trapped miners in South America, escaped
lunatic on the loose, baseball playoffs.
Amy:
Why not change the channel?
Lenny:
The news is something I can watch without sound.
Amy:
I don't know, I kind of like watching movies like that.
Lenny:
Really?
Amy:
Yeah. I was with this friend one time who was back from university
and she took me to this club. I wasn't really into the music, but
they had these TV's above the bar playing old horror movies.
Lenny:
That sounds awesome!
Amy:
It was, kinda.
Lenny:
Well, let's see what we got.
Lenny
goes for the remote from the table and sits back down even closer.
He cycles through the channels and finds Night of the Living Dead.
Lenny
& Amy: (in unison) Perfect.
They
look at each other and laugh and there is a pause. Lenny goes in for
a kiss.
