- Quotes
Louie: Okay, I'm gonna come out and tell you, I'm - I'm asking you out. That's what I'm doing - and please don't answer yet. Because I know you might have a "No" cued up in your head already. And I - but I - please, will you let me say a few things?
[Liz nods]
Louie: I - I know that being a woman in New York must be hard, because it's basically disappointing, maybe, that you try to be nice to men as human beings, and - and then they respond by just torpedoing towards your vagina. And I - I want you to know that I'm aware that you're young and beautiful and I'm not either of those things, and I - part of me knows that as soon as my lips stop moving, you're gonna say no, but I - please think of the fact that it's low risk, what I'm asking: You just come out with me for a drink. And even if you got up and left in the middle of the one drink, I wouldn't - I wouldn't hold it against you. So just make a judgment based on that it - nothing horrible would happen if you came out with me. I think you're so attractive. I'm attracted to you because you're nice and you're a decent person, and those are - and other reasons you probably want people to be attracted to you. I - also, you're all horribly cute. I mean, you're cute as hell, and I - I grow on people, women, when they - you get - some time goes by, you get past the bald head and the s- that I sweat a lot and I'm lumpy.
[sighs]
Louie: I've run out of things to say. Can you just say, tell me now, if it's - did this work, are you gonna...
Liz: [matter-of-factly] I don't date guys, I'm a lesbian.
[Stunned, Louie stares at her]
Liz: [laughs] I'm just kidding. Of course I'll have a drink with you, why not?
Louie: [laughs] Oh my god. Really?
Liz: Yes! I don't choose guys based on looks. That made for a really shitty life for me. And you're not a troll, for Christ's sake - get some confidence.
Louie: I'll have it up and running.
Liz: Do you wanna pick me up tonight?
Louie: Tonight? Yeah.
Liz: At eight o'clock?
Louie: Yes, please.
Liz: When I get off?
Louie: That'd be great.
Liz: Okay. Nice job on the asking out.
Louie: Thank you.
Liz: [walking away] I liked it. A-plus.

Great acting for a show that conceptually pursues the "Curb your enthusiasm" improv trajectory.
The final BW vignette of Parker set to a jazzy tune adds a classy touch that has NYC stamped all over it.
