Henry is a professor looking for love. After being left by his fiancé, he’s been going on dates. He asks the wives of his friends to set him up, meets the women at a hotel in New York City, and sleeps with them occasionally. Nothing slips. When he asks a friend of a friend to set him up, he sets a date for a dinner at the Plaza hotel. He gets there early and waits for his date, Judy. He sees a woman who matches Judy’s description, only to find that it’s not her. Instead, the real Judy, a more unattractive woman gets there late, much to Henry’s annoyance. Before the date’s started, he’s already waiting for it to end. They talk, and he’s bored. When it comes time to wrap things up, he lightly mentions his house in the country only to be polite, and Judy asks if she can come over that weekend. Before he can think of what to say, Henry is distracted by a jerk at another table who’s sitting with two women. Henry picks a fight about him just to do something. His blood pumps. The fight comes to nothing, but when everything’s settled down, he looks back at Judy and sees her smiling at him.
