- Yep, we got a jam.

- Should we get
the tube sweeper?

- Nah, it's being used

- Yeah, let's switch tables.

- Maybe I can help.

- Let's stay.

- You wanna thank me,

- And her best friend.

She also pays

- Well, it was nice
talking to you.

- What was wrong with him?

- Uh, I'm just not ready
to date again yet.

It hasn't been that long
since Link moved.

- When will you be ready?

- I guess I'll know
when I get a sign.

- [phone meowing]

- Sorry, let me get this.

Oh, it's not me.

- Yeah, it's him.

- Oh, sorry. I don't know how

"Classical Cats Volume "
got on my phone.

- I have the same ringtone.

- Okay. I lied,
I put that on my phone.

- They're great, right?

Who needs Mozart
when you can have Meow-zart?

- [laughs]

- Wait. You're reading
"The Yellow Bandana?"

- It's kinda
my favorite book.

- Get out!
It's my favorite book.

I've read it like five times.

And I've even listened
to the audiobook.

- Have you heard
the one read by cats?

- They have that?

- No,
but that would be awesome.

- [laughing]

- Oh, thank you, good sir.

Well...it was nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

So, like I was saying, um, yeah,

I'll know it's time
to date again when I get a sign.

- Phoebe, I'm not usually
ahead of you on these things--

- Great Meow-zart's ghost,
that was like a million signs.

- Donate

- What's the money go to?

- Buying me a hoverboard.

- Well, in that case,
here's an onion ring.

- I never liked you.

- I missed him.

I guess it's not meant to be.

- Or is it?

Look, he left his book.

Well, I guess I could
just hold onto this

- You're both sloppy eaters?

It's like you're soulmates.

none of that matters,

haven't run into him.

Maybe I never will.

Don't you have some kind

They call it Find a Fiend.

Not Find a Cute Guy or May
