She asks him what he would do if she had a physical body. Samantha becomes more and more intimate with Theodore, and asks if she can watch him sleep. Samantha asks him about his and Amy's relationship, and Theodore admits that although he and Amy dated briefly in college, they are only good friends and that Amy is married. Theodore later mentions this to Samantha and they talk about relationships. As they are about to have sex, the woman asks if Theodore is willing to commit to her, and when he hesitates, she walks out on him. To his surprise, he and the woman hit it off.
