"Date Night" is an episode from Season 1 of the dramedy television series Entourage.

Plot

Eric gets a wake up call from Ari informing him that it's opening day for Head On, and that he will call Eric back with the mid-day numbers. After hanging up on Ari, Emily calls to tell him to open the gate. He quickly cleans himself up, then rushes out to meet her. After chatting about the opening and discovering that the group has no plans for the evening, Emily asks Eric out on a date.

Eric brings in the fanmail that Emily brought over, and Vince and Turtle start going through it while telling Eric that Drama has a girl over. One of the letters they open is a nude picture of a fan who thinks that she and Vince were together in a previous life. Drama finally comes down with his new girl who is a body builder, and introduces her to the gang. When Drama escorts her out, the guys sneak behind and follow them to the door. After she leaves they give him a good ribbing.

After Drama refuses to cook, the guys head to a diner and discuss what they want to do for Vince's opening. When Eric tells them he's made plans, Vince gets upset. Rather than making him cancel his plans, though, Vince decides they should all get dates and hang out. Later Vince makes an appearance on Big Boy's radio show. Vince teases Eric on air about getting asked out by a girl. Then he tells Big Boy that he doesn't have a date yet. Big Boy then tells him he'll help Vince out, and Justine Chapin calls in and asks Vince out.

After the radio show, Turtle runs into trouble finding a date, and decides to call the nude girl from the fan mail Vince received. Now it's time to get ready for the night, and Drama cuts himself shaving his crotch. Eric chats with Ari via an iSight camera system, and Ari tells him that the matinée numbers were less than stellar since all the moms who want Vince are taking their kids to see Pixar's animated squirrel movie instead. After hanging up with Ari, Kirstin calls Eric to ask who he's going out with that night, and proceeds to play with his mind a bit. After that, Turtle tells them they are going bowling for the night.

At the bowling alley, Turtle's date shows her thong, and Eric figures out who she is and verbally assails Turtle for bringing her into their midst. While they eat, she spars with Justine over Vince, and Turtle starts to realise his mistake. After leaving the bowling alley, they drive by a theater and see a huge crowd waiting in line. Drama leans out, and asks what they're waiting to see, and the response is "that talking squirrel thing". Not liking this, Turtle leans out and spoils the movie, and tells them to go see Head On instead.

Ari tries to meet up with the guys at Pray, and Mrs. Ari demands the keys. Eric can't get back in touch with Ari, and Turtle's girl leaves. Drama gets in a tiff with his girl, and Justine leaves Vince and tells him what he missed out on. Ari then shows up and lets them know that Head On is the number 1 live action film of the weekend, opening at 18.6 million dollars. Emily then tells E she can't stay with Ari there, and he walks her out to the limo, where they share their first kiss. The episode ends with Vince sharing a toast to the movie's success with his best friends and Ari.
