How come on television shows, or in the movies, no one ever gives a timed destination?

A Shrink says to his crazed patient, 'I'll squeeze you in this afternoon.'  She puts up a fight and continues with her aimless rant, and he winks at her and says 'I'll see you later,' walking away with her speechless.  But when?

The handsome but insecure young man finds himself, for some strange reason helping the beautiful young co-worker he's bneen admirring for months, get the cinnamon bun goo off her dress, and finally musters up the courage to ask her out....they agree on dinner tonight....but when?

These are things that I wish just once someone would yell out after them.  Just once I'd like to see them set up a time and place.  I know everything that happens in our lives takes a decision, followed by an alternative list of options, then a short argument over the pros and cons of the options, and finally a pizza is ordered!

It's just not real....of course we knew that anyway I guess.
