Taylor: It's Jake, right?
Jake: Yes, thank you for remembering.
Taylor: Can I help you with something?
Jake: Well, it's actually me, I think that I can help you.
Taylor: I didn't realize I had a problem.
Jake: Oh, yeah, you do, you have a -- you have a problem. You're over-striding.
Taylor: I'm over-striding?
Jake: Yeah, I know this might sound a little cheesy, but I'm a doctor. No, I am and what you have is a classic case of over-striding. Oh, it can lead to terribly, you know, painful things. You know, issues like Achilles tendonitis, ITB pain, knees, back, hips, well, everything ends up in the hips. Not your hips.
Taylor: Wow.
Jake: Yes, wow.
Taylor: So, this is your thing?
Jake: What's my thing?
Taylor: You're the uh, "I'm a doctor." I mean, what are you going to do, whip out your stethoscope now? Should I be impressed?
Jake: Oh, no, no, no, no, I wasn't trying to --
Taylor: Ok, that's good.
Jake: But I am a doctor.
Taylor: Well, then you might want to tuck your stethoscope back in.
Jake: Really?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake: Hey.
Taylor: Here he comes again.
Jake: You know what? It's not your stride. It's the fact that you are favoring your right foot. I bet you anything that you once had some sort of injury or something to your left foot.
Taylor: Would you do me a favor and just try to keep your eyes right here, ok? Instead of checking out the rest.
Jake: No, no, no, no, no, no. I promise you, I was only focused on your feet, that's how I --
Taylor: Right, and my hips and my ITB and everything else --
Jake: No, I was just saying the thing about your feet --
Taylor: Well, I'm just leaving.
Jake: Wait a second, wait, wait. I'm not trying to hit on you, or any --
Taylor: Really?
Jake: No, I'm not.
Taylor: Just casually observing?
Jake: I promise. What's your name? You got a name?
Taylor: I do have a name.
Jake: Wow, ok. How about I race you for it?
Taylor: You want to race?
Jake: Yeah.
Taylor: To hear my name?
Jake: Uh-huh.
Taylor: Where to?
Jake: That tree.
Taylor: You'll lose.
Jake: Really, ok, well, we'll see about that. On three, ok?
Taylor: Yep, on three.
Jake: One, two, three.
Taylor: Whoo! Even with the gimpy left foot and the bad hips.
Jake: You're training for something, aren't you? Iron man --
Taylor: No.
Jake: Something?
Taylor: No, I told you. I just like to run.
Jake: Well, I can tell.
Taylor: Well, thanks for the race, dr. Jake.
Jake: Yeah, anytime.
Taylor: Taylor.
Jake: Anytime, Taylor.
Taylor: Just Taylor.

[Knock at door]
Angie: Oh. So you decided to come back, did -- oh, I'm sorry. Can I help you?
Taylor: Yes, ma'am, I'm looking for Franklin Hubbard.
Angie: Of course. Uh, Franklin? There's someone here to see you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor: Hi, Hubb.
Frankie: L.T.
Taylor: How are you?
Frankie: Oh.
Taylor: Did you miss me?
Frankie: Like shrapnel to the head. Look at you.
