In this short scene, we learn that Rachel is in the middle of a conversation with Seth, who has just asked her to meet him at the theater. Rachel is surprised to learn that Seth has asked her out on an "ordinary date" , and that she has been watching him closely for a long time. She feels that she is the one who has been sick, but that it looks like she has lost weight. She asks Seth if he is being affectionate, and he replies that he has something to say to her before they go to the theater, but he is not saying anything. Rachel wonders if she is tired, and she says that she was tired all morning, and her stomach is empty. She wonders if he just wants to eat, or if he wants to talk after the movie, or after shopping, or at the café, or even after the theater itself. Rachel asks if she has "been worn out already, what happened to her youthful energy," and she replies that it is not that, it is that she had been so tense the whole time, and now she is suddenly exhausted. She says that if she had wanted to stop seeing him, she would have done so, but now that she says it, it seems "embarrassing." Rachel says that Sam does not live with her anymore, so she does not have to worry.
