Oh, Edie, wait up. I wanna ask you something.
I can't stop. I gotta keep my heart rate up.
I was just wondering how you'd feel if I went out with Bill.
What?
Bill asked me out.
Bill? My Bill?
Well, see, that's the thing. He doesn't think of himself as your Bill.
He said that date was just a one-time thing. Which I know, because when he asked me out I told him I thought you guys were involved.
So you haven't agreed to go out with him?
No, I wanted to check with you first.
Wow, that's nice of you.
So, can I?
No.
Edie! Edie, why can't I go out with him?
Because I saw him first.
Come on. That's a really third-grade thing to say.
You asked my permission, I said no. That should be the end of it.
Well, you know. Technically, I don't need your permission.
You know, I so much wanna like you, but you just won't let me.
Edie. . .
Susan, you know. . . I try. I try to look past your flaws. Your klutziness. That. . . that. . . . . . faux vulnerability. Your hair. But you look for ways to push my buttons.
He just wants to buy me a burrito.
Susan, please. Let me like you.
Ok. I won't go out with him. I mean, obviously, you have feelings for him.
No, I don't. I really don't.
So what, then? If you can't have him, nobody can?
See? Now you're thinking like a friend.
