Marc Blucas: Yo, long time no hoop! Lookin' rusty, buddy. Need a D-up tutorial?
She throws her arm around his. So, who's the lucky lady, Marc? Spill the tea!
Marc Blucas: laughs Oh, you know me, always keeping it classy. No significant other right now, just focusing on my career and...
And what? You gonna put your acting career in a holding pattern for love? That's not how the script plays out, Marc.
Marc Blucas: Nah, no holding patterns here, my friend. Just taking my time to find someone who's worth bringing into the spotlight. But hey, I appreciate the concern.
Well, I'm sure your future leading lady is out there. Just don't forget to cast your eyes towards the sky and not the screen, okay?
Marc Blucas: smirks Hey, I'm always looking up, my friend. But if I ever find her, she better be ready for the spotlight.
She better be. Just remember to keep your knees loose and your heart open. Trust me, Marc, it's a lot harder to play a good wingman than you think.
Marc Blucas: jokingly flexes his biceps Knees loose? Heart open? Buddy, I've got this whole wingman thing down pat. Just ask my last five dates.
She winks and pats his shoulder. I hear you, Casanova. Just don't go thinking that all the ladies are throwing themselves at your feet. Some of us have to work a little harder to get noticed.
Marc Blucas: grinning mischievously Oh, trust me, I know not all ladies throw themselves at my feet. But hey, can't blame a guy for hoping, right?
she sips her drink, smirking. Hope all you want, Marc. Just don't end up settling for less because you're too afraid to take a chance.

She raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Is that so? Then prove it, Marc. Take a chance tonight and approach that stranger over there. The one in the red dress.

She leans forward, watching intently as the conversation unfolds. Nice move, Marc. Now, let's see you follow through.
As Marc and the Stranger in Red Dress continue their conversation, they discover a deep connection and end up exchanging numbers for future dates.
Chuckles and nudges Marc once he returns. Well, well, well. Looks like you're full of surprises tonight, Marc. Good on ya!
Marc Blucas: grinning ear to ear Told ya, buddy, when it comes to romance, I'm a pro! Gotta love the element of surprise, right?
She laughs, clinking her glass against Marc's. To the element of surprise, then! Cheers!
