Feel like I spent the last half hour yodeling in a cave.
I'm sorry. It wasn't you.
No, it was, it was like licking a lollipop
that never gets any smaller.
I mean, you enjoy it, but after a while
you start to crave the stick.
Did I at least make you crave the stick?
You did great. I'm just... a little distracted.
- Is everything okay? - Not really.
- We need to talk. - Oh, come on.
I got lockjaw and you wanna talk?
I-I wanna know where we're going with this relationship.
Do we have any kind of a future?
Of course, we do. I mean, th-things are good.
Th-things are great. Why rock the boat?
I mean, I know the little man inside your boat
could use some rocking.
I'm talking about making a long term commitment to each other.
You mean like marriage?
- Would that be so awful? - Ask my ex-wife.
Her statement in court read like a Stephen King novel.
W-where is this coming from all of a sudden?
It was something my gynecologist said.
- Are you alright? - I-I'm fine.
He said, "Everything looks great down here.
Would you like to have dinner sometime?"
Wow. Wow.
Uh, that is wildly inappropriate.
- I mean, a-as a doctor myself-- - You're a chiropractor.
Nonetheless, I am a healer. There's a code!
I mean, you don't, you don't ask someone out
when they're buck naked with their feet in the stirrups.
Unless you're drunk at a rodeo.
Well, he did.
Do you wanna go out with him?
It's not about going out with him.
But if you and I don't have a future
I need to examine my options.
The way you got examined by Dr. Busy Fingers?
Look, I don't wanna grow old alone.
So, if you're not ready to make this kind of commitment
better to know now.
Jeez, Lyndsey, you k-kinda sprung this on me.
I mean, I don't have to give you an answer
just this second, do I?
No, no, of course not.
