I’ve bought a smart watch.

It’s slightly elevated when I talk about the watch.

ARTHUR
Are you in the fat burn zone?

FREDERIQUE
I want to talk to Mark Zuckerberg

STUART
Good luck with that

FREDERIQUE
No need: I wrote an AI that learns his habits and tells me where to accidentally bump into him

STUART
Could I use that to pick up girls?

FREDERIQUE
Man, that’s a bit desperate

I was up all night but it’s totally worth it: I’ve 3D printed my own tooth aligners.

STUART
Doesn’t it bother you while kissing?

FREDERIQUE
(Turns sad) No.

STUART
Sorry man, I wasn’t thinking

FREDERIQUE
It’s ok, I could have a girlfriend.

STUART
Of course you could

STUART
I need a website. Could you help me?

FREDERIQUE
Why don’t you hire an offshore development team?

STUART
They never do what I ask them to, and then run away with their first pay check.
That’s just a waste of good cortisol.

Arthur, you don’t look great. Is everything alright?

I decided to go for the deaf-mute girls for a while.

I tend to click better with people who let me speak. And I need a new workout for my hands.
