Joe and Stella in “Unfinished Business”

Joe

(he walks down the stars) Stella.

Stella

(she turns around) Oh, hey.

Joe

Hey, I can't do lunch today.

Stella

Why not?

Joe

I have to put reinforcements in all my loose-leaf holes.

Stella

Yeah, right, okay. Well, how about tomorrow?

Joe

I can't.

Stella

Wednesday?

Joe

Hm-mm.

Stella

Thursday?

Joe

Sorry.

Stella

Oh, okay. You know what? No, not okay, Joe. I mean, if I didn't know that we were just friends, I'd assume that you were sending me some kind of a message.

Joe

What message?

Stella

Oh, I don't know. Usually when cancels on me twice in a row and then three more times in a row. I kind of assume I'm not that person's favorite person. (she leaves upset)

Joe

Stella, wait. (he walks after Stella) Come with me to the big game on Saturday.

Stella

What?

Joe

Come with me. I can get courtside seats. My brother's s cheerleader.

Stella

Okay, that sounds really great. Go, mantises.

Joe

Awesome, we're on. It's a da-ate-- It's we're on. (he walks away from Stella then she leaves)
