"How Do You Remember Me?"
Robbie: Something terrible just happened. Let me help you.
Ben: You don't need to help me with this. We barely know each other.
Ben: You don't need to help me with this. We barely know each other.
During a chance encounter on a street, two men, Ben (Marquis Rodriguez) and Robbie (Zane Pais) remember their first and only date...a little differently.
Andrew Rannells, the writer of original essay "During A Night of Casual Sex, Urgent Messages Go Unanswered
", also wrote and directed this episode.
Tropes:
- Framing Device: The entire date is told as memories/flashbacks as the old hookups look at each other on the street.
- "Rashomon"-Style: Ben's and Robbie's respective memories of their date are presented differently, but the main story beats are the same in both.
- Standard Office Setting: Ben works a desk job at a gray cubicle-filled office while he gets his writing career off the ground.
