1. “Bunch of us”? It’s just Michael and Martha, so that’s a double date. Gordon is making it sound like it would be a group date. Allyson might be inclined to join a low key group date but might not want to go with a double date.
2. Gordon has stretched his agreement with Michael from his making a phone call for him to an agreement to double-date with him and Martha and Allyson.
She’s babysitting alright, and her boyfriend will be joining her after the parents leave the house. Oldest trick in the book, checked on a babysitter years ago and came back about 20 minutes later and guess who had joined her watching tv?
Boy, do I remember those days! I’d call up a girl I really liked in high school and she would basically say “No” if I asked her out, but she made it clear she enjoyed talking with me and would keep me on the phone for an hour - sometimes longer. Made me feel like a king even when she turned me down.

Babysitting is not a rejection of him. It’s probably a legit reason. And now he knows that she will speak to him on the phone. All good.

When you are in love, just hearing the object of your affection order a hamburger is the sweetest sound in the world. I miss those days. sigh…

Sitting on babies is so wrong. I don’t know how parents pay people to that to their babies!

They will see Allyson out somewhere with another boy, maybe the one who got her drunk. They always want the bad boy, nice guy is to boring.
