Soulmates

- This is for you. - Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

So...

We're two drinks in.

Tell me about you. You ever been married?

Uh, no. No. You?

Yeah. Twice.

But I'm getting better at it.

Well, that sounds promising.

You, um...

You ever think about taking the test?

Mmm. I did more than just think about it.

Really? Well, that's, uh...

That's, uh...

Uh, no, it's okay.

We're... we're not together anymore.

I...

Didn't like the way that he treated women.

Oh, my God. Was he, um...

No. No, not with me. But he...

He had a history.

It's okay. I've...

come to terms with it.

He taught me

a lot about myself, actually.

In fact, a lot of who I am now

is because of him.

Hey, hon.

Oh, God.

Sorry. You startled me.

So, um, I got a favor to ask.

Could you cover my shift Monday?

I gotta get my hair done. Hot date.

Oh, Monday?

I... I... I'm sorry, I can't.

I... I... I have a doctor's appointment.

Oh, no. You were my last hope.

This guy, he could be the one. He's in management.

Come on, Cait. Please?

Okay, well, I... I guess, I could try and move my appointment.

Thanks.

Can you remind me to order more bags.

When?

Don't worry, I just reminded myself.

Hey, did you hear?

Tammy finally got the cash together.

She took the test, too.

She got her match. Got the ping. Straight up.

That's great.

I'm so happy for her.

What about you? Anything yet?

No.

Don't worry.

He'll show up.

Please exit by the rear door.

Damn it.

He was definitely 23.

I made him... Oh, no, I didn't ask.

Hey.

Hey.

You didn't bring dinner?

No. I came right home from the shelter.

Don't they give out food there?

Well, yeah, but for homeless people.

All right.

Okay, hon, it was a joke. Jeez.

I am starving though.

Well...

- This store on Fifth is open... - We should just get takeout.

Not Chinese though, you know what that does to me.

Yeah.

I do.

It's happening.

Oh.

Can't believe this is happening.

Doug, that was the deal.

You know.

Companionship until one of us got our match.

I don't know, I guess,

I always thought it would be me first.

What if I say no?

This is my apartment.

- I help cover rent. - No.

You pay for the subscription to the sports channel.

And anyway, you can't stay here, I mean,

how would I explain that to Nathan?

- Nathan? - Yeah.

You, you haven't even met the guy.

Doug, please. Come on. Don't make this hard for me.

Hard for you?

You're kicking me out.

I love you.

I mean, it's not in-love love,

but I make you happy, right?

What if this guy can't make you any happier than me?

Doug, please. I would do the same thing for you.

You know that I would.

Okay, look. You can't just kick me out. I have rights.

- Doug, that's... - I'm not just moving out.

Okay?

- I was... - I said no.

- Caitlin? - Nathan?

Hi.

So do we, uh...

I guess so.

- It's nice to meet you. - You, too.

- Um... - Shall we?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm sorry for... for what I'm wearing.

It's perfect.

Do you want food? Or just coffee?

Okay. I don't... I don't know. I don't know.

Let's just order coffee then, shall we?

You don't wanna overcommit, right?

I have a boyfriend. Kind of.

- I kind of have... - Okay.

Well, that kind of takes the edge off.

- I'm sorry. I... I'm so... I'm... - Don't apologize.

- I'm sorry, I... - How about this.

I'll tell you about me. You tell me about you.

And if it goes well,

you can share some of my...

Cohen's special deep-fried cheesums.

Huh?

I would say

you have a deal.

I was in the field 10 years all in.

But every time you get back out, you're rolling your dice.

And I thought I've done my fair share of "front line. "

So I decided to practice back here.

Where I'm not being shot at for a change.

That sounds amazing.

Does it?

Oh, absolutely.

Why did you take the test if you have a boyfriend?

I don't even really like him.

I asked him to move out,

and he didn't wanna leave. So...

So, you just let him stay?

I've had some...

bad relationships.

A... a lot actually.

And some of them have been violent,

and that has made me scared, I guess.

All the time.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't...

I didn't mean to kill the mood.

No.

No, not at all.

And I'm sorry.

For what?

Men?

Some.

Why did you take the test?

I took the test because I was lonely.

And, uh, I was terrified of women.

Are you teasing me?

I'm serious. I used to be.

But I learned how to beat it.

How?

Where're we going?

Come on. You'll be fine.

Okay, I'm in heels, so I can't keep up with you.

Hey. Stop. What are you doing? Where are you taking me?

- Stop it. Stop it. - Wait a beat.

Stop it. You're hurting me.

Give it a beat. Just give it a beat.

- No. I want to go. - Hey, it's okay. It's just you and me.

That feeling that you wanna run,

that's your past telling you to be scared.

It's screaming at you. But it is not all who you are.

Let it speak.

Okay.

Spend some time with it.

And when it calms down,

you'll hear what it's truly trying to say.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

Hold it.

Now breathe out.

What's the voice saying?

- Hey, hon. - Hey.

What?

What?

Oh, my God.

Oh.

- Tell me everything. - Okay.

His name is Nathan.

He's a doctor.

He has a place upstate, not too far. He travels. He does charity work.

Caitlin, this is huge.

I'm really happy for you.

I mean, we've just had one date.

Well, you know, a kind of date.

But...

It was amazing.

We talked for hours about everything.

And I mean, like, real talk, you know?
