The Three-Day Rule for Calling, Explained：industry standard
How long should a guy wait before calling? The answer becomes a whole theory: two days, 'like industry standard,' or three, because 'everyone in town waits two days.' Call too soon and you might 'scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.'
あらすじ
At the bar, Mike asks how long he should wait before calling the girl he met. Trent lays out the rules: a day, then another day, so two days total — 'like industry standard.' But Trent now prefers three days, since everyone waits two. He even suggests a fake line about finding her number while cleaning his wallet, then laughs at his own joke.

What's really going on
The scene is about the rituals people invent to feel in control. Nobody knows the right amount of time to wait, so 'two days' becomes an unwritten law and then an argument, which is why the exchange is funny. The line 'two days is like industry standard' treats dating like a trade with rules and best practices. Under the jokes, though, more is going on: Mike is newly single and nervous, and the group has an answer for everything, even the exact words to use. The scene also foreshadows the night's turn, when the same bravado spills into a street fight that none of the rules can contain.
Theme
RomanceThe whole scene is about the unwritten rules of calling someone after a first meeting, treated as if they were scientific.
FriendshipTrent is coaching Mike through a new beginning, and the group's banter is how they keep each other company after rough breakups.

No, I used to wait two days to call anybody, but now it's like everyone in town waits two days.The argument for waiting longer: a rule everyone follows stops being special, so three days becomes the new sign of confidence.
But if you call too soon, you might scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.The warning behind the delay: calling too fast can push away someone who was actually interested, so patience is framed as strategy.
You live in a good neighborhood, man. In New York trouble finds you.Part of the later fight: one man insists LA is safer than New York, where trouble does not need an invitation to arrive.
Two's enough not to look anxious.The one rule both sides accept: wait a couple of days so you do not seem desperate, no more, no less.

He jokes that Mike should say he was cleaning out his wallet and happened to run into her number, then pretend not to remember her at all.
