Definitely. Two days. That's the industry
standard.
TRENT
(to Sue, shop talk)
...I used to wait two days. Now everyone
waits two
days. Three days is kinda the money now,
don't
you think?
SUE
...Yeah. But two's enough not to look anxious...
TRENT
Yeah, but three days is kinda the money...
MIKE
(interrupting sarcastically)
Why don't I just wait three weeks and
tell her
I was cleaning out my wallet and found
her number...
CHARLES
...then ask where you met her...
MIKE
Yeah, I'll tell her I don't remember and
the I'll
ask what she looks like.
(pause)
Then I'll ask if we fucked. How's that,
Tee? Is
that "the money'?
The guys laugh.
TRENT
Laugh all you want, but if you call too
soon you can
scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.
SUE
Don't listen to him. You call whenever
it feels right.
to you.
MIKE
How long you guys gonna wait to call your
honeys?
TRENT AND SUE
Six days.
Be a man with a slow hand.
The ladies love foreplay, and that's exactly why you wait a few days before
you call. No reason to rush it. Let her savor the wait. She'll thank you
later.
