Back on Earth, specifically in London, Jane Foster was at a restaurant on a dinner date. She just hid behind her menu until her date slipped her a note that said 'hi'."
"Hi!" Richard, her date, greeted.
"Hi," Jane returned quickly.
"So what's the story with you?" he asked.
"Why should there have to be a story? There's no story," she answered.
"You've spent the first ten minutes of our date hiding behind a menu that has three choices on it. It's either chicken, vegetarian, or fish. Jane, I'm thinking there's a story, and the story either involves a guy..." Richard pointed out.
"It's complicated," Jane answered.
"Is he still around?" he asked.
"No. He...went away," she responded.
"I've been there. The going away part. I was seeing a woman and ah, she took a job in New York. Eventually the distance killed it. And the fact that she, uh, she kept sleeping with other dudes," Richard explained.
"Oh no!" Jane exclaimed.
"Ooh so many," Richard stated.
A woman came to their table. Richard saw her, thinking she was a waitress.
"Hi, um, could we get some wine please?" he requested.
Jane looked to see it was actually Darcy.
"Sure, I'd love some," Darcy answered.
"Richard, this is Darcy," Jane introduced.
Darcy signaled to her that she did good on the date.
"What are you doing here?" Jane asked.
Darcy made herself comfortable at the table and buttered her own bread.
"Oh, hello," Richard stated.
"Sup! So I show up for work at the lab-slash-your-mom's-house, fully expecting you to be moping around in your pajamas eating ice cream and obsessing about you-know-who..." Darcy replied.
"Ah," Richard responded, confirming his "ex theory" about Jane.
"But you're not! You're wearing lady clothes! You even showered, didn't you? You smell good," Darcy commented.
"Is there a point to all of this? Because there really needs to be a point to all of this," Jane told her.
"Right. You know all that scientific equipment you don't look at anymore?" Darcy asked, gave her a piece of equipment, and said, "You might want to start looking at it again. This is the reason we came all the way out here."
"It's malfunctioning," Jane told her, examining it.
"That's what I said," Darcy remarked.
Jane bumped it against the table.
"That's what I did! But you just did it a little more scientific," Darcy said.
Jane looked to Richard as she gave it back to Darcy.
"I'm sure it's nothing," Jane shrugged it off.
"Doesn't look like nothing. Kinda looks like the readings that Erik was rambling about," Darcy pointed out then informed Richard, "Our friend Erik kinda went banana balls."
"I'm not interested. I'm not interested. Time for you to go now," Jane shooed her away.
Darcy looked from Jane to Richard and eventually stood up.
"Okay," Darcy said then walked off.
"Short but sweet," Richard commented.
"She needs help," Jane said.
They went back to their menus.
"I think I'm gonna have sea bass," Richard remarked.
"Sea bass. Yes, sea bass is good. Sea bass. Sea bass sea bass sea bass...sea bass," Jane repeated, obviously distracted.
Richard closed his menu and said, "Jane, maybe you should stop saying 'sea bass' and go after your friend."
"I'm so sorry!" Jane told him as she got up.
"I'll just stay here and say 'sea bass' alone," Richard commented.
Jane went outside and got in the passenger seat of the car Darcy drove.
"And I hate you," Jane said.
"What? I thought he was cute," Darcy defended.
"Just shut up and drive," Jane remarked and Darcy obeyed.
