					NOG
			She is humanoid isn't she?

					JAKE
			Nog... Leanne invited me out.  You... 
			never came up in the conversation.

					NOG
			A pretty girl asks you out on a date 
			and you get confused.  I understand.

					JAKE
				(relieved)
			Good.

					NOG
			So... she has a friend, right?

					JAKE
			Well, I'm sure she does...

					NOG
			Then tell her to bring her along.

					JAKE
			Nog, that's not what I had in mind.

					NOG
			That's because you were confused.  
			Would you rather the three of us go 
			out?

	Jake can see the writing on the wall here and gives in.

					JAKE
			Well, when you put it that way...

					NOG
			Exactly.
				(beat)
			One thing, Jake... you're still pretty 
			new at this dating business... just 
			promise me you won't do anything to 
			embarrass me.

					JAKE
				(sarcastic)
			I'll do my best.
