[Jennings sees Rachel at the party and is fascinated by her beauty; he leaves Shorty, who has no one else to hang out with]
Michael Jennings:
Hello. I'm Michael.
Rachel Porter:
I'm Rachel. Rachel Porter.
Michael Jennings:
Is that Miss or Mrs?
Rachel Porter:
Mm. That would be Doctor Porter.
Michael Jennings:
Doctor! Well. Excuse me, Doctor.
Rachel Porter:
[laughs]
It's all right.
Michael Jennings:
What kind of, uh, doctor are you?
Rachel Porter:
I'm a biologist.
Michael Jennings:
Really.
[Across the room, Shorty sees a waiter passing with a tray of hors d'oeuvres and gestures that he would like one, but is ignored. He grimaces]
Michael Jennings:
Do you work for Jimmy?
Rachel Porter:
[nodding]
Mm-hm.
Michael Jennings:
So it must be very top-secret biology that you practice.
Rachel Porter:
[with a sly, sexy look]
Oh, yes. Isn't everything?
Michael Jennings:
Let's go.
Rachel Porter:
Excuse me?
Michael Jennings:
I mean, I'm happy to continue blathering on and trying helplessly to charm you, but I thought maybe, you know, cut to the chase and just, you know, go somewhere.
Rachel Porter:
[laughing]
I'll tell you what, Michael. I'm gonna walk over there and talk to a friend of mine. If you get the urge to have a real conversation, you'll know where to find me.
Michael Jennings:
Okay. Fair enough. It was nice to meet you.
Rachel Porter:
Giving up so easily? You don't believe in second chances, now, do you?
Michael Jennings:
In my experience, no, I don't.
