He tries to find a close spot because it's 35 F outside ,.. or perhaps it's 85 F outside.

He can't find one nearby. Tries the lot a block away. That's full too. Finds a spot 1.5 blocks away. They walk to restaurant. They're 7 min late for their reservation.

She's now cold, and her nice shoes are messed up from the snow,.. or perhaps she's hot because it's 85F,.. and her makeup is starting to run, and she's beginning to swe___...er, I mean.. "glow".

She's a bit unhappy and sneaks off to the bathroom to check her makeup. She's NOT feeling pampered. The evening still costs him $120. But instead of her being "treated" to a nice evening,.. it feels like work somehow.


The next time they feel like nice Italian,.. he makes sure to go to the Andiamo's on Telegraph and Maple,.. where you pull right to the front door under a roof and have the valet park the car.

The other screen writer says she's on the rag and you won't be getting nookie despite the lobster dinner. There.
