00:19 One day I walked in with Day Spa/Salon and, well let me just say right off,
00:24 there she was, standing there behind the counter,
00:27 the girl whose life I'd walk in for the next three minutes.
00:30 She wasn't wearing a name tag, which I thought made her really mysterious.
00:35 Hi, welcome to Paradise Salon.
00:37 She was really nice at first.
00:38 Hi, I have to book an appointment for my fiancé.
00:41 She needs a haircut and a pedicure and a thing.
00:46 I noticed her whole attitude changed when I mentioned I had a fiancé.
00:49 I didn't understand why at the time, but she just went from being really friendly
00:52 to really pissed off, which was still pretty attractive,
00:55 although I never cheat on my fiancé because I'm just an old-fashioned guy.
00:59 You know you can book appointments over the phone, right?
01:01 Yeah, I know. I just don't have a cell phone and I was in the area,
01:04 so I just thought I'd drop in.
01:06 You don't have a cell phone?
01:07 I don't own a cell phone. I'm just an old-fashioned guy.
01:10 Okay, well in the future, Paradise Salon does book appointments over the phone.
01:13 Okay.
01:14 Now, what did you say you need to book again?
01:16 My fiancé. Oh, you mean what? She needs a haircut.
01:20 Okay, is this a haircut or a blowout?
01:22 Because Paradise Salon books two different appointments for those.
01:24 No, this is just a regular haircut.
01:26 The blowout or whatever would be the day of the wedding.
01:29 Okay, what else?
01:30 And a pedicure and a face thing where you put vegetables over your eyes.
01:36 Facial?
01:37 Yeah, facial.
01:39 Then I thought maybe this girl's miserable because she's the type who's always had dating trouble
01:43 and she's been single a long time and it's made her bitter towards men,
01:46 and if that was the case, I really just felt bad for her.
01:49 We have Thursday the 12th open from 10 to 4.
01:52 No, but it's got to be closer to the date of the wedding.
01:59 Okay, we have Wednesday, July 8th.
02:01 He went too far. He passed it. The wedding will be over by--
02:04 We'll be on our honeymoon by then.
02:06 Okay, sir, I don't need to hear about your wedding or your honeymoon.
02:08 I just need to hear yes or no.
02:10 Uh, no.
02:12 Now I was pretty convinced this dame had been single a long time.
02:16 We have Saturday the 21st from 10 to 4.
02:18 Okay, yeah.
02:19 Okay, have we got anything else today, sir?
02:21 Yes, I need a man--
02:23 I'm not surprised.
02:25 No, no, I mean a man something.
02:28 It starts with man, something fiancées make their husbands get before a honeymoon.
02:34 Manicure?
02:35 Yeah, manicure. I need a manicure.
02:37 Friday the 20th at 3 o'clock.
02:39 Okay, perfect.
02:40 Okay, what's your name?
02:41 Nathaniel. What's your name? You don't have a name tag.
02:45 What's the best time where we can reach you?
02:48 555.
02:49 This is probably another part of her job that made her miserable,
02:51 having to ask a guy for his number strictly for business.
02:54 Okay, and your fiancée's name?
02:56 Catherine.
02:57 And could we reach her on your home number as well?
03:01 Yeah.
03:02 Okay, Paradise Salon.
03:03 Ask that you arrive 20 minutes prior to your appointment.
03:05 If you have to cancel your appointment for any reason, Paradise Salon,
03:07 ask that you give us 24 hours' notice.
03:10 Oh, it's two different words. Paradise Salon, I get it.
03:14 No, we've got nothing else today, sir.
03:16 Do you have any gift cards?
03:21 Dad, do you have any gift cards?
03:27 Paradise Salon is currently out of gift cards.
03:29 If you call tomorrow, we might have more.
03:31 Okay, could you put one on the side for me?
03:33 Paradise Salon is not putting any items on hold.
03:35 Can you make an exception for me?
03:37 I just did.
03:44 She wasn't there when I went in for my appointment,
03:46 but when my fiancée came back from hers,
03:48 she did mention how nice the girl at the front desk was,
03:50 and I thought it could have been the same girl on a better day.
03:54 After that, I never saw her again, except in passing once.
