regina is sneaking out to see mark/dan. he picks her up in his volvo s60. this is the third time they have been alone together. when regina is with mark/dan her palms get sweaty. she giggles more frequently than she usually does. she watches herself as though she is outside of her body and her inner monologue gives a play-by-play of every stupid thing she does. in spite of all this, regina is happiest lately when she is with mark/dan. mark/dan suggests that they go to a diner to get food. regina is not particularly hungry but when they get there she orders a strawberry milkshake and steak fries because she does not want to seem like one of those actresses who never eats.

mark/dan asks regina about her life. he does not ask regina about her work. regina likes this about him. regina realizes that she doesn't have anything to talk about besides her work. she does not want to tell mark/dan about her upcoming role in little miss darkness. instead she asks him about his life. he tells her about his job as a sound technician and his roommate who has dreadlocks and the dinners he makes with organic food from trader joe's. regina likes that mark/dan also shops at trader joe's. it makes her feel connected to him. mark/dan tells regina about his blog. in his blog, he talks about the death of blogging. regina thinks that is ridiculous and likes that about him.

after they leave the diner regina and mark/dan make out in mark/dan's volvo s60. mark/dan tells regina that he feels like he is in high school again. he slips his hand under the waistband of regina's baby blue la perla panties. regina wants to push his hand away but instead she makes noises like a kitten. regina wants to suck mark/dan's dick so he will stop fingering her, but mark/dan will not let regina suck his dick. regina feels defeated and fakes an orgasm so mark/dan will stop fingering her. mark/dan takes regina home in his volvo s60 and kisses her on the forehead before he drives away.
