INT. RESTAURANT - EVENING

PRIYA (30) and LEON (33) sit across a small candlelit table.
The menus sit unopened. A long pause.

LEON
Can I tell you something kind of
embarrassing?

PRIYA
Please. Yes.

LEON
I almost cancelled tonight. Twice.

PRIYA
(surprised laugh)
I cancelled and then uncancelled
and then almost cancelled again.

LEON
What made you uncancelel?

PRIYA
My roommate took my phone and
responded yes before I could stop her.
You?

LEON
I remembered you said you loved
the same obscure movie nobody
has ever heard of.

PRIYA
And that was enough?

LEON
(quietly)
That was everything.

A beat. Something shifts between them.
