CHARLIE
It's honestly like no one can see us.
KELLY
Maybe there's a rule that only your waiter can take your order and these other staff members are just abiding by it?
CHARLIE
Do you really think that's a thing?
KELLY
I have to believe in something.
CHARLIE
Wait. There he is!
KELLY
Hey! Hey you!
CHARLIE
Hey! Come here!
KELLY
He's not even looking at us.
CHARLIE
I'm going to go get him.
KELLY
No, make him come here.
CHARLIE
But he won't!
KELLY
We can't win this battle.
CHARLIE
But I'm starving!
KELLY
Me too... wait, here he comes.
CHARLIE
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
KELLY
Yesssssssss.
CHARLIE
I'm gonna get the steak, I'm gonna get the steak.
KELLY
Give me that hen, give me that hen.
CHARLIE
He's getting closer. I can hear that slow motion music they use in all those movies.
KELLY
Which one?
CHARLIE
You know the one, it goes like "bum bum bum bum bum"
KELLY
Oh yeah!
BOTH
"Bum bum bum bum bum, bum. Bum bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum."
