Blind Date

"Look, I'm not saying this will be a thing. I'm just saying you two would get along. They're funny, they love movies, music, they've got this... thing about horror soundtracks. You'd actually have stuff to talk about."

"Uh-huh," Gerard says, suspicious. "And what makes you think she'd even want to go out with me?"

"Because," Mikey says, taking another slice, "they're just as hopeless as you. Maybe even more. I told them about you, and they laughed for a full minute."

Ray snorts. "That's promising."

Gerard sighs, dragging a hand over his face. "Why do I let you two talk me into these things?"

"Because you love us," Ray says sweetly.

"In your dreams."

Mikey leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Come on, Gee. One dinner. That's all I'm asking. If it sucks, you can leave early and say I owe you for the rest of your life."

or the one where Gerard is set up on a blind date and ends up discovering something new about himself.
