INT. WEISS' LIVING ROOM - LATER
All that's left of dinner is a few scattered greasy wrappers and a couple of empty cups. Vaughn and Weiss are watching TV. Out of nowhere Vaughn says:
VAUGHN
I'm gonna call her.
Weiss looks at him.
WEISS
You sure about that?
Vaughn looks at Weiss.
VAUGHN
Are you sure you want to ask me if I'm sure?
WEISS
Right. You want some privacy?
VAUGHN
Like you're not going to make me tell you later.
WEISS
Then in the interest of efficiency I'll stay.
Vaughn just holds out his hand.
VAUGHN
Phone.
Weiss matches his serious tone and hands him the phone.
WEISS
Scalpel.
Vaughn looks annoyed.
WEISS
Sorry. It's just when you get all 'Ohhh, serious' on me I can't help it.
Vaughn shakes his head and goes to dial Syd's number.
WEISS
Wait.
VAUGHN
What?
WEISS
Don't you want to think about what you're going to say?
VAUGHN
What do you think I've been doing all night?
WEISS
Oh. Carry on then.
VAUGHN
(sarcastic) Thank you.
CUT TO:
INT. SYDNEY'S LIVING ROOM - ALSO LATER
Her and her dad are sitting on the couch watching TV with empty plates on the table in front of them.
SYDNEY
I'm gonna call him.
Jack looks over at her.
JACK
Would you prefer if I left?
SYDNEY
No. We can't do this over the phone. (beat) I know, I'll ask him out to breakfast.
Suddenly, the phone rings. Syd looks at it and then back at her dad. He nods. She takes a deep breath, and answers the phone.
SYDNEY
Hi.
At this point we cut between the two of them during the conversation.
VAUGHN
Hi.
Weiss is next to him giving him the thumbs up. Vaughn rolls his eyes and starts to talk. She does too.
BOTH
Look...
VAUGHN
Um. Go ahead.
SYDNEY
No, you go.
VAUGHN
Okay. Well, it's just that I think we need to, well...
SYDNEY
Talk? Me too.
VAUGHN
We could do it over breakfast tomorrow.
Syd's surprised by this and looks at her dad.
SYDNEY
That's just what I was thinking.
VAUGHN
Fantastic Café?
SYDNEY
Oh, I love their chorizo.
Vaughn smiles.
VAUGHN
I remember.
Syd nods. Right.
SYDNEY
So 8:30?
VAUGHN
Yeah, I'll pick you up.
He stops and realizes what he just said. She lives all of 30 feet from where he's currently sitting. She just smiles.
SYDNEY
Sounds great.
VAUGHN
Good. Okay. Um... I'll see you tomorrow then.
SYDNEY
Right.
VAUGHN
Right.
They both look at the phone uncertainly and just hang up.
CUT TO:
INT. SYDNEY'S LIVING ROOM
She sits down and shakes her head.
SYDNEY
God, we can't even arrange to have breakfast together. How the hell are we supposed to do this?
Jack just rubs her back and puts his arm around her.
CUT TO:
INT. WEISS' LIVING ROOM
Vaughn puts the phone on the coffee table looking just as dejected as Syd. Weiss looks at him.
WEISS
You want me to go out for another Double Double?
