Look, I'm sorry I stole your book.

What?

I took your book and put it underneath mine. I, I didn't know how to talk to you, I was embarrassed, so I took your book.

Aren't you embarrassed now?

Yeah. I'm, I'm humiliated.

So, why do you pursue people who sit at your library table?

I don't. It's just that... you're pretty.

Ohh!

[She smiles and turns to walk away from him]

Well, I can't talk about how smart you are; I don't even know you. Anyway, I'm done lying with you.

Are you always so incompetent with women?

Oh, yes. Today's way above average for me.

Congratulations.

[She is still smiling as she unlocks her door to leave him]

Good night.

That's too bad. I could make you so happy. I'm smart as a whip; you won't meet another thief like me in the library again. Come on; why don't you say you'll see me, huh?

All right. I'll see you again. But it won't come to anything.

You can't tell.

[wistfully]

Yes, I can.
[She shuts her door in his face]
