He also enjoyed the movie and the fact that he had someone to go with to see it who would also like it, and who wasn't Lois.
As they approach a coffee shop, he stops just past the door. "I'm going to grab something, do you want anything while I'm in?"

He leads her inside and Eights may be disappointed to see he makes to go downstairs, not up.

She does, however, lean over to look up and see how far they go.
