Plot summary

Reuben Feffer: I know that I have a.013% chance of being hit by a car on my way home. Or a one in 46,000 chance of falling through a subway grate. So I try to manage that risk by avoiding danger and having a plan and knowing what my next move is. And I guess you don't exactly live your life that way. Yeah... which is great, but I'm not gonna ever be a dirty dancer, and I don't eat food with my hands, and I really like you, but I just don't think this is gonna work out.
Trivia: Some of the sounds of the ferret are from noises made by Jennifer Aniston from the scene where Reuben is eating the peanuts from the floor.
