Patrick: Too late.

Imogen: Do you do this a lot?

Patrick: Text friends?

Imogen: Casual sex?

Patrick: Sometimes.

Not often, since Deidre died. But sometimes.

Patrick: I have girlfriends, sometimes, but not usually anything serious.

Imogen: I'm not looking for serious.

Patrick: I know.

Imogen: I haven't done the casual sex thing before.

Patrick: You fooled me.

Imogen: Really?

Patrick: Mostly. You're different from the women who invite me to their place.

Imogen: What did I miss?

Patrick: Nothing. You were perfect. Just different.

Imogen: Different how?

Patrick: More direct.

Imogen: Women aren't ordering you onto your knees?

Patrick: Is that a request?

Imogen: It's usually safe.

Patrick: Kneeling?

Imogen: Cunnilingus. There's a low risk of STD transmission.

Patrick: That. That's how you're different.

Imogen: Because I bring up STD rates?

Patrick: The way you do it.

Imogen: I'm a scientist.

Patrick: You study STDs?

Imogen: Behavioral economics. The nexus of economics and psychology. And I'm undergrad. I'll be a senior next year. But still. Why beat around the bush?

Patrick: I like that.

Imogen: Thanks. I think.
