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.
