Peter and Sydney's First Man-Date, Explained：Hands down
Peter meets a man he barely knows and, within one meal, they are trading breakup stories, sex talk and nicknames. The surface is two guys over fish tacos, but the stakes are Peter's reason for being here: he's auditioning a best friend, and "Hands down, best fish taco I've ever had in my life" is how easily the two click.

What's really going on
On paper this is just two guys eating tacos, but the scene is really Peter's first real shot at a male friendship, and it works because neither one performs. When Peter calls part of his life private, the other man pushes back — "Look, I don't know this girl, so you can talk to me. What's the deal?" — and the oversharing that follows is what bonds them. The scene ends with the real question hanging in the air: back home, Zooey asks "So is he your best man?" and Peter answers, "It's way too early to tell," already hoping it might be true. The fish tacos are the excuse; being accepted is the point.
Theme
FriendshipPeter and Sydney bond fast because both drop the performance and overshare; a casual taco dinner is quietly Peter auditioning a best friend.
LonelinessPeter's whole evening is a search for one person who will actually talk to him, and the relief when Sydney does is the point of the scene.

Hands down, best fish taco I've ever had in my life.A plain declaration of the best taco ever, with 'hands down' stressing there's no argument. It's the same easy enthusiasm that makes Sydney likable to Peter.
Zooey's awesome, and we have a great sex life.Peter's defence after oversharing: he insists everything is fine, and it's the moment he pulls the conversation back toward safe ground.
You. . . You nicknamed me Pistol, and I just called you Joban.Peter notices he's already trading nicknames — he was called 'Pistol' and just called Sydney something back. It's an awkward, accidental sign the friendship is clicking.
Every once in a while, I go down to the Boardwalk and I just throw my own feces like a gorilla.An absurd self-aware joke about acting like a barbarian while everyone eats with their hands — exactly the humor that wins Peter over.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Robbie tell Peter not to stay for dinner?
He's worried about signals. If Peter turns a first meet-up into a full dinner, the other man will 'get the wrong idea,' so Robbie pushes him to keep it casual.
Why does the sex talk come up at all?
Peter overshares when he feels comfortable. The other man notices Peter's hesitation, points out that his voice went up, and says 'you're speaking honestly' to keep him talking.
What does "Pistol Pete" refer to?
It's a nickname built from Peter's name — 'Pete' becomes 'Pistol Pete,' an old Western handle that turns a plain name into something with swagger.
Why does Peter insist his sex life is great?
He's embarrassed about oversharing with a near-stranger. He says 'Zooey's awesome, and we have a great sex life,' but his earlier hesitation and his own 'I don't even know why I said that' show he's covering.
Why does Peter say it's "way too early to tell" if he's so excited?
He doesn't want to jinx it. Zooey asks whether the new friend is his best man, and Peter, though clearly hopeful, thinks it's too soon to call it that.
