HOSTESS
Your food should be ready in about ten minutes.
SAM
Thank you.
JILL
How long did she say?
SAM
About ten minutes.
JILL
Great. Good thing these chairs are comfy.
SAM
I assume that's why they picked them, they knew people would be willing to wait for their food.
JILL
They might be even more comfortable than the regular chairs at the table.
SAM
They might be.
JILL
Where were we with that conversation?
SAM
We were talking about sequels and how there are no good ones.
JILL
There has to be some good ones.
SAM
Name some.
JILL
Uh... Sister Act 2?
SAM
Really?
JILL
Yes. The first one was good, but the second one was better.
