carson: (aggravated) no. i really don’t want to. (inhales slowly) back to last night, i’m going to mention it but um, you and elliot look real chummy.

tabs: he’s got a girlfriend.

carson: not anymore….

tabs: (raises eyebrows) …they finally broke up?

carson: yep. according to russ…

tabs: (feigns concern) oh, that’s terrible news

carson: (eyes narrow) your facial expression says something different. (concerned) wait, are you thinking of making a move?

carson’s phone buzzes again

tabs: you should answer that.
