[chill music playing]

-Harry! How have you been?
-Hey.

[laughs] I'm good.

Belle, right?

Luna. It's Luna.

-Luna?
-Yes.

Sorry, poor eyesight.

Does she eat meat?

Hey.

Oh, uh…

I do.

[woman] I had to ask.
The last one only ate veggies, right?

All right, let me get your order.

Thank you.

Who was she talking about?

Um, my ex.

-When did--
-So what are--

[both laugh]

-You go--
-I was just gonna ask…

You go first.

Uh…

[laughs] Sorry.

I forgot what I was gonna say.

[both laugh]

Sorry.

Sorry.

I know.

Let's pretend that we've
known each other for a long time.

-Game?
-Okay.

Okay.

Um…

so…

why did you guys break up?

What?

What?

What? [laughs]

-Well, you said…
-[Harry laughs]

You told me to pretend…

-No, no, no.
-Never mind.

Forget about it. Sorry I asked.

-I was just…
-It's okay, I started it.

Um…

Okay. [laughs]

-[laughs] Sorry.
-Well.

How do I say this?

She was perfect on paper, but…

But something always felt a little off.

Yep.

Like…

like what?

[laughs] Um…

I could never figure out

if her feelings for me were real.

Ah.

-Sorry for asking.
-[Harry laughs]

It's okay.

Hey. Thank you.

Okay.

[Harry] Oh, sauce.

Thanks.

[laughs]

I learned something at work today.

If you want your soup to cool down faster,
just add some water to it.

It's faster that way.

You don't have to waste your energy
on blowing on your soup.

You can just do this.

Okay.

Did you know that putting
water in your soup

makes it lose its flavor?

Got it, okay.

[chuckles]

Science, it's just…

I'm a…

Science textbook writer, so…

[Harry laughs] Okay.

Miss Science Project, that's enough.

It's time to try the best
noodles of your life.

-Dig in.
-Okay.

-Sauce.
-Yeah.

-The best?
-Mm-hmm.

Okay.

[Luna] Mmm.

Okay.

It is good.

-Yes?
-Yes.

Oh my God, it's so yummy.

[slurping]

Hey.

Why don't you slow down?

It's still hot. I burnt myself already.

So good.

Sorry, you just have something on your…

Here.

Okay.

Sorry.

You know this doesn't count
as a date, right?

[Harry] Mmm. [laughs]

Well, who said this was a date?

It's not?

No, I mean…

I'm sorry.

[laughs]

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Okay, I give up. Ah,

what counts as a date, then?

Dinner.

But…

You have to ask me.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Um…

Hey.

Harry?

Hey, Harry.

-Yes?
-Um…

Go on a date with me?

Yes?

[chill music playing]

[phone ringing]

Nice of you to join us today.

I know you're a late riser.

You look tired.

I am tired.

But, ah, I'm happy to be here, so…

You know, I cut back my coffee intake
and it helped me sleep at night.

No caffeine after 1:00 p.m. for me.

Have you tried that?

You know, Luna.
You're really good at this.

Taking really complex ideas

and simplifying it into something

that a high school student can understand.

[laughs]

Thank you?

You know, we have a position opening up.

Better pay, more leaves. But…

You're going to have to start
exerting yourself more.

Exerting myself more?

It's an office position.

From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
you have to be here.

From nine to five?

I'm sorry, but is there another option?

-I can even work longer hours.
-Luna.

I've been through that phase.

I've known you since I took a risk on you,

hiring you even without a college degree.

And that risk paid off.

But you're not getting any younger.

You can't just party every night.

I don't really go to parties.

Whatever you say.

You've always been good at your job.

So it's fine with me.

I'm just saying, you have potential.

You just need to exert yourself more.

You need to work harder.

Anyway, you don't need
to decide right away.

Just think about it.

[chill music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[man] Harry.

Boss. Hey.

How are you?

I'm doing good. How about you?

Okay. Ah…

I have something to tell you.

It's been hard these days.

I'm sure you know
the station will be closing soon.

Boss, is there no chance to save it?

Unlikely.

We don't have advertisers anymore.

It's hard to keep up.

Boss…

This station is an icon.

It's an institution.

What will…

I'm gonna take care of my grandkids now.

It's you I'm worried about.

I'm okay, boss.

Don't worry.

[bittersweet song playing over radio]

[Harry] It's hard to say
goodbye to friends

you've known for a long time.

You always thank me for being here
on the nights that you can't sleep,

or when you're bored, or lonely.

But I should be the one thanking you.

Because you always stuck with me.

Thank you for all the stories,
the laughter, the tears,

and the songs we experienced together.

This has been Sleep with Me.

Good night!

[music ends]

[Kai] There.

Look. Perfect.

[Kai laughs]

But it's not like this date
is important, right?

-Harry.
-Yes?

I'm happy you're happy.

[laughs softly]

Because that means

you won't be moping around anymore.

[Kai laughing]

Say goodbye to your allowance next week.

Can you relax?

Remember, being stressed before a date
isn't a good look.

Okay, okay.

When did you become a dating expert?

I'm no expert.

Not anymore.

Spill.

What happened with Whammy?

Well…

He stopped responding.

Huh?

You okay?

Of course.

It's his loss.

Anyway, I'll just focus on my studies.

[chuckles] Wow.

Okay.

There. You look good.

Isn't it better to wear my hair up?

It'll look good, right?

-Okay, sure.
-Okay.

I got you.

-Like this?
-Yes.

-It looks good on you.
-Make it pretty.

[Kai laughs]

Wait.

There.

The answer is letter B.

When cats fall from over six floors,
their spines contort to brace for impact.

That's why they always land on their feet.

Amazing, right?

Okay, wait.

How do you know this?

How do I look?

Gorgeous! Amazing!

Wow. I'm in awe.

-Want to date me instead?
-[both laugh]

You look good in black!

I need to see the full look.

-Give me a twirl.
-[Luna laughs awkwardly]

Let me see.

Let me see your whole look. Come on.

Just one twirl.

That's more like it. Amazing.

Harry is going to freak out
when she sees you.

Are you gonna bring those?

Give me those.

Okay.

Luna. Don't be nervous.

-Okay.
-Okay? Breathe.

Breathe. Enjoy.

Okay? Have fun.

Don't be yourself.

[both laugh]

Just kidding.

-Okay, okay.
-Okay?

Go.

Go!

I still have homework to do.

-[Luna] Okay.
-Go on.

It's my first time here.

Me too.

You look nice.

And the place looks nice.

I also heard the food's nice.

Oh gosh, I'm saying nice too much.

Uh, gosh, yeah,
you gotta stop me from talking

'cause I tend to keep talking
until someone stops me, so…

-Are you nervous?
-[waiter] Sorry.

Don't be nervous, it's just me.

-Let's eat.
-Okay.

[Belle] Harry?

You're here.

I thought you hated this place.

No, I didn't say that.

It's fine.

You don't like it here?

[Belle] Because it's not PWD-friendly.

Can't you tell?

The ramps are too steep
and it's so crowded.

Right.

Ah, Belle.

This is Belle.

Luna.

[Belle] Hi, Luna.

Nice to meet you.

Harry, if you want me to talk to
the manager about the ramp,

-I'm over there, okay?
-Yeah.

And you should try the scallops,
I know they're your favorite.

[Harry] Yeah.

[Belle] Oh, have you thought
about my offer?

We really need your help.

Let's just talk about it
some other time. Yeah?

-Okay?
-Okay.

Bye!

-Sorry.
-Um…

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

You should have told me
you didn't like it here…

I-I didn't think about…

Sorry. I'm so sorry. Maybe next time--

It's fine, I'm good.

Yeah, but still…

I'm really sorry.

I didn't realize that…

-Hey.
-Yeah, it is hard…

At least now, you know.

-For next time, right?
-Yeah.

Okay.

Sorry again.

Let's order.

[waiter] Sorry, ma'am.

Can you be more careful?

[Harry] Hey, it's okay.

He also did that before.

He didn't mean it.

You don't have to worry about me
all the time, okay?

Yeah. Well…

It gets lonely when
no one worries about you.

I'm sure lots of people worry about you.

I guess.

In an abstract sense.

But, it's different when someone worries
about you in real time, right?

You know, not…

not retroactively.

Not as an obligation.

If you know what I mean.

Well, starting today,

I'll be the one to worry about you.



Deal?

Deal.

[no audible dialog,

I want to do something.

Come closer.
