[The episode begins in the living room. Darrow and Lips are on the couch with Darrow reading a book and Lips cutting his toenails. Lips is sitting on the arm of the couch while Darrow is leaning on the cushions. The girls are nowhere to be seen. A nail then flies past Darrow's face and lands on the carpet.]

Lips: (*he grins*) That was a big one.

Darrow: (*he rolls his eyes*) Charming.

Dolly: (*she and Pearl run in*) Pop, can you and dad smoochy kiss?

Lips: Yup. (*he turns his head to kiss Darrow, but is blocked by his book*)

Darrow: Not so fast. Why do you want us to smoochy kiss?

Pearl: Because we like it.

Dolly: Yeah, it's very "romance".

Darrow: Where did you learn that word?

Dolly: TV!

Pearl: We know- (inhale) all about romance.

Darrow: Well, maybe you could teach your dad about that.

Lips: (*he looks at Darrow as he clips another nail*) Outrageous!

Dolly: Yeah, let's teach Dad!

Pearl: We can set up the restaurant!

Dolly: The Fancy Restaurant!

Pearl: Yeah!

[We then see the balcony and the door to the playroom as Lips and Darrow walk to the doorway. The inside of the playroom is decorated with fairy lights, chairs, and tables. At the doorway is a box with a blanket draped over it and a dictionary sitting slanted on top, imitating a hostess stand. Dolly is standing on a plastic stool behind it, standing almost as tall as Darrow.]

Lips: (*he grins*) I'll show you a thing or two about romance.

Darrow: We'll see.

Dolly: Hello. Welcome to the Fancy Restaurant. Are you two husbands?

Lips: (*he grabs Darrow's hand*) Yes, we are.

Darrow: (*he pulls his hand out of Lips'*) No, we aren't.

Lips: Huh?

Darrow: This is our first date. We met five minutes ago.

Dolly: Very good. Do you have a booking?

Lips: Ah, yes. The name's Romeo McFlourish.

Dolly: Hmm, Romeo. (*she slides her finger down the dictionary*) Nope, never heard of you.

Lips: Oh. Well, can we have a table anyway?

Dolly: You'll have to make a booking.

Lips: Well, I'd like to make a booking, please.

Dolly: No, you have to call.

Lips: Ugh. OK. (*he dials on his fingers, making beeping and ringing noises*)

Dolly: (*she picks up*) Hello?

Lips: Hi. I'd like to make a booking, please.

Dolly: Name?

Lips: Romeo, uh... What was it?

Darrow: McFlourish.

Lips: McFlourish! Of course.

Dolly: OK, great. See you soon. (*she hangs up and turns to Lips*) Hi, do you have a booking?

Lips: (*he's slightly annoyed*) Yes, McFlourish.
