Andy and Rachael sit at a table with their food.
RACHAEL
Don’t tell me you’re still pining after Diana?
ANDY
It’s hard to get her out of my mind.
RACHAEL
It’s been a year, Andy. Don’t you think you should at least ask her out?
ANDY
I did.
RACHAEL
You did?! When?
ANDY
Everyday for the last week.
RACHAEL
Uh oh.
ANDY
Uh oh is right. She turned me down. Pretty definitively today. There’s no going back.
RACHAEL
Hmm. Her loss.
ANDY
Right.
RACHAEL
Seriously. She doesn’t know what she’s missing.
ANDY
It’s just that she feels so right. The moment I first saw her I knew we were meant to be together. She’s easy to talk to. She’s kind, caring, beautiful...I know we have a connection.
RACHAEL
What are you going to do?
ANDY
What can I do? She’s made her wishes clear. I’ll probably just hang around, hoping she’ll change her mind sometime.
RACHAEL
You’ve got to be more proactive than that. If you’re really meant to be together, do something about it. You can’t just leave this up to the whimsy of fate.
ANDY
You mean God? That’s exactly what I should do.
RACHAEL
No, God gives us brains and free will for a reason. Use a bit of your free will and make Diana realize what she’s missing.
ANDY
Brilliant!
RACHAEL
I know.
ANDY
So, in all your brilliance, any ideas on how to accomplish this feat?
RACHAEL
Um...I’m sure you’ll think of something. If it’s meant to be, that is.
Rachael smiles and then digs into her food.
ANDY
Thanks for all the help.
RACHAEL
Just trying to be a good friend.
