KELLY
I feel really bad. We're taking forever.
CHARLIE
Don't worry about it, he said to take our time.
KELLY
Yeah, but I don't think he meant it like this.
CHARLIE
I'm not rushing for him, you shouldn't either.
KELLY
Well, do you know what you want?
CHARLIE
I'm still looking at the appetizers to be honest.
KELLY
Charlie!
CHARLIE
Kelly!
KELLY
Come on now. Pick something.
CHARLIE
Well, let me look around real quick... It looks like a lot of people have ordered the nachos... Should we get those?
KELLY
Ehh...
CHARLIE
Really!
KELLY
I just don't like jalapenos, you know that!
CHARLE
What if we get them on the side?
KELLY
I just feel like their hotness will sneak over into the food, somehow.
CHARLIE
