It's a short form of 'hang out'. I've never actually heard it used as a noun before, but perhaps it's an Australian English term.
To 'hang' or 'hangout' is slang meaning just to be in the general company of someone for no specific purpose. She's stating that it wasn't a date per se, and that they were just hanging out.

Nicole is saying that to her it was an opportunity for her and Jimmy to get to know each other on a personal level (a hang) whereas Jimmy is saying he thought it was just business (a movie).
Jimmy says 'a thing' with the intended meaning of something vaguely like a date. Nicole says 'a hang' with the meaning that it wasn't primarily to talk about work but was more of a social occasion—not officially a date but a chance for them to get to know each better and possibly to see if they like each other in that way.
