Music: I've got you. Under my skin. I've got you. Deep in the heart of me. So deep in my heart.

 

Darcy: Are you laughing at me?

 

Nick: Yeah.

 

Darcy: Good. I didn't think anyone else was still here.

 

Nick: I didn't know anyone was here.

 

Darcy: What time is it?

 

Nick: It's after 10:00. I didn't realize it was so late. I feel so alone.

 

Nick: Um... I didn't catch that. Sorry?

 

Darcy: I didn't realize how late it was. And I'm glad you're here. I'm stuck. I feel so alone.

 

Nick: You want a hand with this?

 

Darcy: No, thanks. I'm okay.

 

Nick: Yeah, I'm not buying it. What's going on?

 

Darcy: Well, I have an early meeting tomorrow with Dan, and I wanted to make it later so I could be more prepared. But then you slipped in there and took the only time he had left, which left me with 8:15 tomorrow morning. It's fine. I'm just not as ready as I wish I was.

 

Nick: Sorry.

 

Darcy: You didn't do it on purpose. I just don't want him to be disappointed.

 

Nick: Hey, why don't we go through some of these together?

 

Darcy: Really?

 

Nick: I insist. Unless you're too tired.

 

Darcy: Oh, no. I'm not tired.

 

Nick: Yeah, I can see that.

 

Darcy: It's just so far beyond tired at this point. I've basically¹ stopped sleeping ever since I took this job.

 

Nick: You have?

 

Darcy: Yeah, it's weird². I, um... How do I say this?

 

Nick: You don't feel quite like yourself here, do you?

 

Darcy: No, I don't. Not yet, anyway. Boy. Plus, I'm mad that I'm getting sick. I never, ever get sick. In fact, you don't have to sit so close to me if you don't want to.

 

Nick: No, come here. I'll brave it. So, where do we kick off? Control-top panty hose³?

 

Darcy: Okay.

 

Nick: Personally, I think they do the trick.

 

Darcy: You've worn control-top panty hose?

 

Nick: Did you put a pair in the box?

 

Darcy: Seriously?

 

Nick: Oh, yeah.

 

Darcy: You are full of surprises.

 

Nick: Yeah.

 

Darcy: No, no, no. I mean that as a compliment⁴. I love that. And how did you look in them?

 

Nick: Ooh. Hot. My daughter and her boyfriend walked in, and I got 'em on with...

 

Darcy: And they said what when they saw you in your panty hose?

 

Nick: It was the turquoise⁵ Wonderbra they noticed. Then, the nail polish.
