Vanessa: I guess I’ll just take the check, please.

Nate: Hey, hold that, will ya?

Vanessa: Daylight Savings moved to March. Maybe no one told you.

Nate: I know I’m late.

Cora: Coffe, Nate?

Nate: Yeah, thanks, Cora.

Vanessa: You two know each other?

Nate: I’ve been here before.

Vanessa: Are you telling me you come all the way to Brooklyn for greek food?

Nate: Well, when I’m in Brooklyn, I like to come here, yes.

Vanessa: ‘Cause you’re in Brooklyn all the time.

Nate: Well, my… my father’s in rehab a couple blocks away, and, …which by the way, is why I’m late. I was … visiting hours…

Vanessa: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…

...

Nate: No. I mean, it’s not like it’s some big secret. It was on the front page of every newspaper in the city.

Vanessa: I guess it was, yeah.

Nate: Sometimes after I’m done seeing him, I’m not ready to go back and see my mom just yet, so I come here and I sit and just…

Vanessa: Think about how hard it is, to know whose side you’re supposed to be on. Mom versus dad, kid in the middle? Confession… I read one of your practice essays. You left it in a book that you gave Dan and that’s why I called you… to apologize.

Nate: Why?

Vanessa: Because… I judged the cover, but now that I’ve read the book, I figured you were owed some apologetic souvlaki, at the very least.

…

Nate: Next time your sister’s band is in town, I want front row seats.

Vanessa: You don’t strike me as a lesbian punk fan.

Nate: You know, I am almost offended by how much you underestimate me, Ms. Abrams.

Vanessa: You like punk?

Nate: Oh, I didn’t hear you… you said “punk”? ‘Cause you had me at “lesbian”.

Vanessa: Oh, right. Didn’t see that one coming.

Nate: Hey, tell me something.

Vanessa: Yes?

Nate: Why do you do SAT practice tests if you’re not planning on taking the exam?

Vanessa: To help Dan study. I’m a filmmaker. Best education for me is making films.

Nate: I have never met anyone who thought college was optional.

Vanessa: My parents are artists. My sister’s a musician. Just like going to an Ivy is your family’s way, not going to college is mine.

Nate: Think your parents want to adopt a 17 year old? Maybe? So…

Vanessa: So…

Nate: I guess this is good night, then?

Vanessa: I don’t live here, you know.

Nate: No, I know.

Vanessa: I’m just grabbing my laptop. Do you wanna come inside? God. It does feel like the doorstep moment.

Nate: And what moment would that be?

Vanessa: Yeah, that’s the moment.
