Andy is frantically pursued by The Most Boring Man In The World and manages to bag himself a candlelit meal with the man in question. Much to his delight.

Maggie is out on another date, this time with a good-looking black actor, but manages to put her foot in it again by trying not to be racist. Andy's advice has a little too much influence on Maggie, particularly in front of Samuel L. Jackson who she mistakenly believes starred in The Matrix. And the elusive line slips out of Andy's grasp once more.
