Yeah, but that means we can skip the awkward part.
Unlike you I never went on a single date back in the day, so maybe you can show me what I missed. We might have to improvise with the dancing though, unless you wanna go clubbing. [ The thought of them going clubbing is actually hilarious. She doesn't mind some of the music but he'll probably be grumbling the whole time. ]
It could be awkward still. Just because I took you places back then, they weren’t dates.
[ Yeah they were, just without asking her out. They may as well have been dates, from how he wanted to kiss her the whole time. ]
They’ve gotta have dancehalls that do nights for the kind of dancing we like. They probably call it vintage nights, making us feel older than they already do.
Nah. You'd already be better than the last one I went on and that wasn't her fault - it was me having to lie about things so I didn't talk about being brainwashed by Nazis and killing people and scare her off.
Unless you wanna go punch some people for old time's sake, I guess that's what we're doing.
Did you have to? She probably looked you up online and knew all that anyway. Maybe you're the one settling here.
I mean if you wanna take a plus one to your next mission, I'd be up for that too. But I gotta get some new weapons. I really don't wanna damage my painting knives.
You think most people would know or do that, but I think just because they can't see the arm all the time, they don't put it together. Between telling her I was a 106 and had circulation problems and how many beers I drank, I bet she thought I was a drunk.
I've got knives you can borrow if it's about needing weapons. I just wouldn't want them thinking you're running things if you show up.

Alright.
Are we talking about the kind of date we would've gone on before or one closer to what people go on now?

We'll show them who's vintage. That what we're doing then?

[ Or maybe she's just been looking and thinking about that face for so long now. ]
I'm retired, remember? I don't run things anymore. But missions aren't really great for dates, unless we're talking about going undercover.

[ With what he wore as the Winter Soldier? Maybe. ]
You're still you. People are gonna look at you and think you're back in it. They're probably waiting to see how long retirement's gonna stick.
Alright, I'll take you dancing without it being a mission. Then we'll find something better than punching people in the face.
