Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) have what appears at first to be the perfect modern relationship. The two have known each other since the 10th grade, but never take each other for granted. They're warm, responsive, and fun-loving, with lots of shared rituals and cutesy little private games. Out to dinner with their best friends (Ari Graynor and Eric Christian Olsen), they talk about what they're going to order by lapsing into showbiz World War II Chuhmin accents (clearly a favorite routine of theirs), which allows them to tweak each other's foibles -- like who's going to do more mooching off the other's plate -- while keeping the interaction light.
