TONY follows too close behind her. She turns around for a moment and is startled by TONY. She bumps into him as she gives out a surprised yell. She drops her briefcase - papers and folders go everywhere. TONY gets down and helps her clean up the paperwork.

TONY: Hey, are you okay?

VICTORIA: Fine, fine...you just startled me.

TONY: I'm so sorry. (Lies) I should really pay closer attention to where I'm going.

VICTORIA: It's okay. Thanks for your help...so much paperwork..

VICTORIA stops for a moment to look at TONY.

VICTORIA: Wait? Do I know you?

TONY: Uhh...No...I don't think so. Why?

VICTORIA: You look really familiar.

TONY: (Deflects) Well, you know, it's a big city. Lots of people look alike.

They finish with the papers and get up.

VICTORIA: I'm Victoria by the way.

TONY: Tony.

They shake hands. There is a small pause before they let go.

VICTORIA VOICEOVER: God, he looks so familiar.

VICTORIA: Are you sure we haven't met before?

TONY:I hang around here a lot. (Lies) I run here in the mornings.

VICTORIA: Oh, I run here in the mornings too.

TONY: Mystery solved!

Meet cute laugh.

VICTORIA: We must have seen each other.

TONY: Must have.

VICTORIA VOICEOVER :He's cute.

TONY: (Forgets himself) You're cute too.

VICTORIA: What?

TONY: Sorry to be so forward. You just have a really lovely smile.

VICTORIA suddenly becomes guarded.

VICTORIA VOICEOVER: Okay, umm, this is getting weird. I should go.

VICTORIA begins to exit.

VICTORIA: Well, thanks again for the help with the mess.

TONY talks after her.

TONY: Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out or anything. I know in a big city people can be sketch.

VICTORIA VOICEOVER: Is he a creep or...? Victoria, why are you so cynical? This is why you don't have any friends because you don't meet people.

TONY: Have a nice day.

TONY begins to leave. VICTORIA stops and turns towards him.

VICTORIA: You too.

TONY: (Turns around) Do you like ice cream?

VICTORIA: Everyone likes ice cream.

TONY: I just know a nice place that has great ice cream. You look like the kind of girl who would love their strawberry cheesecake swirl.

VICTORIA: It's actually my favorite.

TONY: Do you want to get some?

VICTORIA VOICEOVER: Uhh, he does seem nice.

TONY flashes his most adorable smile.

VICTORIA VOICEOVER: Oh, Victoria...seize the day. Carpe Diem.

VICTORIA: Okay, okay why not?

TONY: Excellent!
