Summary

Jim met Anne at a party and has asked her out to dinner. As they are finishing their dessert he makes his move. Anne appreciates his honesty, but launches into a progressively more out of control (and hilarious) tirade against the way men - in general, of course - try to seduce women. She gets so carried away that Jim (not that bad a guy, actually) decides he's having dinner with a crazy and abruptly ends the date, as well as what could have been a promising relationship-- if he had cut the b.s. and she the defensive apprehension.
