We see the man looking across the room at the girl in the Art Gallery from behind. He is leaning up against the wall. We cut to a medium Close up of the man raising his eyebrows suggestively at the woman. We get a close-up of her face looking awkwardly at him. He takes a deep breath and moves closer to the woman and she starts edging away. He slides up next to her and says “Hey, are your legs tired? ‘Cause I’ve been chasing you through my mind all day.” She smiles a little and walks away. He chases after her and cuts her off and says, “I mean, I wasn’t chasing after you like in a bad way, it was more like ‘cause you’re pretty, like…. Like Princess Leia pretty. Maybe you should put your hair like this – “ stops to put her hair in Princess Leia buns – “oh, your hair is soft. And it smells like popcorn.” She smiles, clearly feeling more awkward, and tries to cut around him. He runs ahead and cuts her off again, saying “Do you like popcorn? Because I love getting a big bucket of popcorn at the movies. I love the movies. Hey! I heard AstroBoy is a good movie. Do you wanna go see Astroboy?” She starts walking away again and he runs ahead and cuts her off and says, “Hey. I know I can have any girl here, but I choose you, Pikachu!” She is clearly uncomfortable and starts walking away for the last time. He calls after her, “You could have been the Lois Lane to my Superman! The Mary Jane to my Spiderman! The Catwoman to my Batman! You would look really sexy in a catsuit, actually. IF YOU CAME OVER TO MY MOM’S BASEMENT YOU COULD HAVE PUT ON A CATSUIT!” She looks back and walks away faster. We get a close up on the man brushing off the rejection, saying “her loss!” He spots a female security guard in the corner and slides up next to her – “hey, are your legs tired? Because I’ve been chasing after you in my mind all day!”
