The Effort of Thesis-Writing ('Til Death pilot)

• Girl:  Thanks for a great night.
• Boy:  Oh, actually you know what honey? It's, uh - it's not over yet. I... saved the best for last!
• Girl:  Oh my god!
• Boy:  Yeah. See, I- I know how much you've been wanting that watch and now it's yours! Oh... I love you! I love you! I love you!
• Girl:  I should punch you right in your fat mouth.
• Boy:  Fat mouth. Very funny. Come on, cowgirl, let's get you some birthday sex!
• Girl:  Jeff! You knew that I wanted this watch as a gift for when I finish my thesis!
• Boy:  Oh right, yeah, I know. I just thought I'd give it to you early since -
• Girl:  Since you don't think I'm ever going to get my Masters since you don't believe in me and you never did! I swear to God since day one you've been all up in my grill just 'cuz I'm not done yet. Like I'm sorry Jeff that I'm not you - I'm not such a good speller I got to meet the president. Do you have any idea what writing a thesis involves?
• Boy:  Well after observing you for the past year, I'm going to go with waking up at 11, eating Cocoa Crispies, and watching old episodes of "Dallas" on Soapnet.
• Girl:  Do you think I'm not working every day on this thing? Here! Test me!
• Boy:  Oh come on Stella!
• Girl:  Do it! Ask me anything on the French Revolution.
• Boy:  Alright. Okay. Uhm. When is Bastille Day? Okay. Uhm. It's also my mom's birthday. It's also ten days after July 4th.
• Girl:  July 14th, I knew that! I'm finishing my thesis! And you can take back your slap-in-the-face watch and the girly box that it came in until I do!
• Boy:  Oh. Fine. You know what? I'll- I'll do this. I'll uh hold on to it until you finish. Maybe I'll even fly over in a jet pack and I'll give it to you because that's how long in the future it's going to be they're actually going to have jet packs in the future.
