Waking up on the stairs not remembering if you were coming home or going out: Signs of a good night or bad night?

I swear to God I talked to a bear.

That almost sounds like a date.

I don't date nameless men. It makes it hard to decide what to scream out at the right moment.

A girl like you doesn't sound like she'd've done a lot of blind dates anyway.

Don't assume. Blind dates can be fun.

Huh, an interesting girl with interesting surprises.

How about when you don't know anything except what he sounds like and what he looks like?

You don't even know the half of them.

[A door opens and closes in the background, following up by the excited whine of a dog who noticed her owner with a leash in her hand.]

Are we talking about blind dates or christening you with a name?

Now you're teasin' me.

I don't tease. I reward.

Tempting.

Possibly frustrating. I've heard upsetting as well.

I don't back down that easy. You haunt a couple of the bars here? Cause I do, and if I hear you I'm sayin' hello.

On occasion. Not as much as I used to because drinking alone is better done at home.

You're bullshitting me. Girl like you's got no one to get out with?

People leave and sometimes I really don't feel like battling my best friend to get her to leave work at a decent hour.

You too huh? Sounds like it happens a lot around here.

[Another door opens and closes and her voice takes on a slight echo from the change from apartment to hallway.]

It's not an everyday occurrence, but it happens too often for my liking.

[She could be talking about both things.]

Sorry to hear that.

[He's still right where he is though possibly enjoying a cigarette now.]

I've been here for little over a month.

A year and a few over here.

[Ding goes the elevator. Woof goes the dog.]

Did the dog come with you?

No, she came with the shelter.

So you actually like it here? Enough to pick up the pooch.

I got the pooch because I was alone and it helped with the ticking.

[It didn't get rid of it completely, but at least she could hear herself think. Another ding, another door, and the sounds of the City at night fill in as background noise.]

It's... okay. It's not home, but it's not always Hell either.

That's what I like to hear. I say the same thing about LA, except that's home too.

LA was my home for a while. [She laughs.] Like three weeks.

Hey not everyone can take even a week there.
