Double Date





Michael:That's just an arbitrary title.
Helene:Ok, there's a penny.  What's that from?
Jim:Penny for your thoughts.
Helene:It was from the wishing well at the mall.  You threw it in.  I went back later, waded in and I found it.
Jim:Wow.
Pam:That's amazing.
Michael:It's not amazing... at all.  It's sort of weird that I went and did that.  And now your wish won't come true, so that blows.
Helene:[looking through the book]  A poem!
Michael:Oh that I plagiarized I think.
Helene:[reading]  I can not go to school today said little Peggy Ann McKay...
Jim:[whispers to Pam] Shel Silverstein.
Pam:Yeah.
Helene:Um-- I have the measles and the mumps, a gash, a rash and purple bumps. And my teachers really mean-- Happy Birthday , I love you Helene.
Pam:That's really nice Michael.
Michael:I think it sucks.
Helene:I think it's wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
Michael:Well, that's because you and I have very different tastes and you like lame things.  It's a generational-- sort of gap between us.
Helene:[hugging book] God... it's a scrapbook.
Pam:Home run Michael.
Jim:You set the bar so high.
Michael:That was a bunt.
