Amanda:  Hey! Hey! Hey! Jason! Here! Oh my God! Sit down! Lay down, sit down, whatever.

Jason:  Oh, OK. Yeah.

Amanda:  Here. How’s it going?

Jason:  Uh, good.

Amanda:  I was just thinking about you…like, a lot.

Jason:  I haven’t seen you for a while. What’s up?

Amanda:  Not much. Do you want…do have somewhere to be or can you have a drink with me and some dinner and maybe hang out?

Jason:  I have to me somewhere in a minute, but I can hang out for a little bit, yeah.

Amanda:  A minute?

Jason:  Well, I mean, just in a little while, a few minutes.

Amanda:  OK. You look great because that coat is just very slimming and form-fitting. You look like you’ve been working out and stuff.

Jason:  I thought it was very “Thriller.”

Amanda:  Yeah, I can see that. Yeah. And the pants look great on you. I can see the definition in your legs.

Jason:  What are you doing here just hanging out on a…

Amanda:  You know. Just kind of thinking.

Jason:  Oh OK.

Amanda:  Kind of alone with my thoughts, so I thought I’d enjoy a pint and kind of take in the view and just clear my mind.

Jason:  That’s good. People don’t slow down enough to clear their minds.

Amanda:  I completely agree. Because there’s so much going on and you’re usually with somebody and how often are you by yourself?

Jason:  Totally. Just in the middle of the day…

Amanda:  Though I would totally pick hanging out with you over being by myself.

Jason:  Wow, thanks.

Amanda:  Just FYI. I wanted to put that out there. You look really good. Your hair is really thick today.

Jason:  Oh, wow. Thanks. That’s awesome. I worry about that.

Amanda:  You shouldn’t. Ever.

Jason:  I’ll grab a beer. I’ll be right back.

Amanda:  OK. Great. Hurry, OK?

Discussion

Amanda is sitting at an outdoor table at a restaurant when Jason walks by. She flags him down and he says he can stay for a few minutes.

Amanda compliments everything from Jason’s hair to his jacket to his muscles. He laughs nervously because he’s not sure what’s going on.

Do you have any idea what’s going on? Is Amanda being nice or does she have an axe to grind? Should Amanda leave Mason for Jason? Is it wrong of her to be so flirty with him while she and Mason are still together?

I think he  behaves well with her and she  knows that . the important matter is that  if  he  discovered that she is pulling his  leg , sure he'll find  another  one to be with . In this case he is right

I'm not sure what Amanda try to do. It looks a little like she try to attract Jason's attention because she's extremely happy that Jason's willing to stay for a while.

maybe Amanda has some trouble in the relationship with mason, then she lounges around and sees her admirer- jason accidently , so she wants him can accompy her a while,but i think she needs not behave so obviously, it's unbearable for most of  guys… very probably jason will be defeated and flee for panic, because he doesn't know what the woman will do  to him….
