Juliet and Shawn in “An Evening With Mr. Yang”

Juliet

I am clearly not as good with words as you are, and I know that things between us have been...a little complicated...and that there have probably been some mixed signals, mostly from me, with regards to the time we spend together outside of the line of duty.

Shawn

Look, Jules, y--

Juliet

[interrupting him] Just, please, let me finish stumbling through this, I'm almost done. I promise. What I'm saying, is that I think maybe the best things, the...richest things, aren't supposed to come easily, and that sometimes the moments that make the most sense happen when everything else doesn't, and, well, I-- [pauses] I think you deserve more than popcorn tonight.

Juliet

So why don't you let me take you to dinner?

Shawn

Detective O'Hara, are you asking me out on a date?

Juliet

I am. [pause] A proper one.

Shawn

[exhales] Wow. [laughs in disbelief] I cannot believe this. All this time, and... your timing is just awful.

Juliet

It is?

Shawn

Yeah, just dreadful.

Juliet

[confused] What?

Shawn

I can't go to dinner with you, Jules, I'm already on a date.

Juliet

What, here?

Shawn

Yeah, right now. It's w-- [stutters] It's weird, it's a little weird, but, uh...yeah. With Abigail.

Juliet

The one that got away.

Shawn

Yeah.

Juliet

[kisses him on the cheek] Get out there. She's not gonna wait forever.
