Cutler/Taylor Dorm Room, Next Day:
"So, Taylor, where'd you disappear to last night?"
"Oh, um, I met someone and we, uh, went somewhere quiet to, uh, talk."
"Talk! Yeah, you were just talking! Heh heh. So, who was the lucky lady?"
"Jill Patterson." Tim answered reluctantly.
"Jill the Pill? You were just talking, then. What were you doing with her?"
"What do you mean, what am I doing with her?"
"Whoa, don't get hostile. She just seems a little frigid to me."
"Maybe she just doesn't like jerks."
"So, she doesn't like you, either. Look, man, forget about Patterson. She's frigid."
"She's not frigid!"
"You get anywhere?"
"No…"
"My point exactly."
Gilmore/Patterson Dorm Room, Same Time:
"I saw you leave with Tim last night."
"Yeah, so?"
"So, you guys were gone a long time."
"How would you know how long I was gone?"
"I just do. Were you with Tim the whole time?"
"Yes," Jill answered reluctantly.
"You guys going out later?"
"I don't know."
"Why don't you know?"
"He hasn't called yet."
"But you said he could, right?"
"Yes."
Girls' Dorm Common Room, Two Days Later:
Fresh from her last lecture, Jill strolls into the common room to find Tim sitting in one of the chairs, talking to Donna.
Noticing her immediately, Tim excused himself from his conversation and went over to Jill. "Hi."
"Hi."
"You busy tonight? Got a date with Mitch?"
"No…."
"You wanna, maybe, go to a movie with me?"
"Yes."
"I mean, you don't have to, but they're showing That Darn Cat down at the theatre and I thought you might like to go and—"
"Tim, I said yes. I'd love to go."
"With me?"
"Yes, with you."
"Good. Great. So, I'll, uh, pick you up at seven?"
"Sure, that's fine."
Gilmore/Patterson Dorm, 6:00 PM:
"What should I wear? I have nothing to wear!"
"Jill, just wear what you're already wearing."
"And make him think I don't care?"
"You care? Is this a date?"
"I don't think it's a date. He didn't say anything about it being a date."
"Then wear what you have on. It's just a movie."
"Yeah, I guess."
Moore's Cinema, after the movie:
"You know, Jill, this was a lot of fun. Us, going to a movie together."
"Yes, it was."
"Would you like to go to a movie Friday? They're showing Casablanca…."
"I'd love to. I absolutely adore Casablanca. Would this, by any chance be a date?"
"Tonight? Or Friday night?"
"Either one."
"Do you want them to be dates?"
"Well, not tonight. This is just two friends seeing a movie…."
"What about Friday?"
"I would like that to be a date, yes."
With an extra spring in his step, Tim escorted Jill back to her room and strutted back to his own dorm, grinning like a fool the whole time.
