Ash: Evening, viewers. [Pauses] Well, it's evening where we are anyway. This is another episode of The Arranged Boyfriend Project brought to you by ThatHoneymoonFiasco.

Matti: And Matti.

Ash: Yes, and a Swede I lured here with a herring-scented ABBA vinyl.

Matti: [Smirks] God, you're such a nob.

Ash: So last episode we went over that ... hypopplesis thing, since Matti's pretty adamant we've gotta cross all the t's and dot all the i's so he can write a book about it later, maybe. Hey, [picks up a sheet of paper] look at this fancy quiz I've got. It's like a typed-up ... school report or something.

Matti: It's a scoring chart. Don't bend it ... We have one each to take with us when we do our confessions. The idea is that we go down this list of emotions here and score 1 to 10 on how strongly we feel it.

Ash: You missed hungry.

Matti: Hungry isn't ... an emotion?

Ash: See? [Waves paper] This kid doesn't mess around. I signed up for movie dates and he signed up for homework. [Nudges Matti] That was actually my next point. The date.

Matti: [Grimaces] Ah, yeah... The date.

Ash: So last time we left you guys, I'd just moved in for the month and we were about to get ready for our first date

Ash: So last time we left you guys, I'd just moved in for the month and we were about to get ready for our first date. Like... a date date. We've always done guy dates, like going to the pub when the Olympics is on and stuff.

Matti: And boring grown-up dates.

Ash: Yeah, like, "dude I need to pick up some dishwasher salt, come with?"

Matti: [Muttering] What is it with you and the dishwasher?

Ash: But this was like ... like ... pssshhhtt. Mind blowing. This was a proper, sophisticated, people-who-want-to bump-uglies kind of date.

Matti: Sophisticated? We went to Pizza Hut. [Pauses] And there were crayons on the table.

Ash: Still, my point. It was a date. A real couple date. Between dudefriends. [Glances at Matti] It went sorta well.

Matti: [Sighs deeply]

Ash: [Returns to camera] Well, I thought it went well. Except one of my jokes fell totally flat with our waitress... To the point of being mildly insulting [Pulls a face] And she watched me mixing ice-cream at the dispenser.

Matti: Yeah, I mean, who doesn't do that who isn't five?

Ash: But apart from that, I'd do it again. Sometime. Because I'm free. With nothing to do. Nothing at all. Totally ... Totally un-busy.
