TODD
I was almost sure this place was too fancy to have TVs.
LAUREL
You would think that, but I feel like no matter what kind of place, you have to have TV's in the bar area. It's like a law or something.
TODD
That would make sense. I mean, when I think bars, I think nachos, beer, and sports. This place hits home with all three of them.
LAUREL
I completely agree. These are delicious.
TODD
Do you want to just keep ordering appetizers and do that during the whole game? Instead of entrees?
LAUREL
Yeah, that sounds good to me. That way we have a good amount of food that will last us, probably for the same price as two entrees.
TODD
If not cheaper.
LAUREL
Yup. So... Did you just ask me here to watch the games? Cause this place is a little too fancy for just a random sports occasion...
TODD
Is it that obvious?
LAUREL
Hey, in no way am I complaining. I'm just asking a question.
TODD
Fair enough, I like that about you. You're always straight and to the point. No kidding around.
LAUREL
I like honesty, you know that.
TODD
I do. That's why I've never lied to you. And I never intend to.
