A Rocken Good Time!

INT. ROCKENWAGNER BRASSERIE--BAR--EVENING

It is a dim and only partially-full night at the restaurant. Caryn and Matt sit at a small table in the bar area. Their glasses are empty and very little evidence of their comforting pretzel burgers can be found on their plates. They both, however, cannot refrain from snacking on the rest of the truffle fries.

CARYN

I'm stuffed.

MATT

Me too.

She pops another fry in her mouth.

CARYN

Are you gonna ask him?

MATT

I already told you no.

Matt pops two or three fries in his mouth.

CARYN

Aw, come on! I'll buy you dessert.

MATT

I hear they have a worthwhile chocolate pudding cake, but I'm really full.

The WAITER returns to take their plates. Caryn and Matt scramble for the last of the fries.

WAITER

Anything else?

Caryn scrunches her face and whispers under her breath.

CARYN

Ask him!

MATT

Just a check, thanks.

Caryn instantly switches gears and puts on her brightest smile for the waiter.

CARYN

I don't suppose you would part with the recipe for the pretzel rolls.

The waiter laughs and back-peddles.

WAITER

Uhhhhh...I don't know. Chef Hans is gone for the night.

Caryn sulks.

WAITER (CONT'D)

Maybe next time.

She nods as the waiter leaves and then she glares at Matt.

CARYN

A lot of help you were.

MATT

I'll get the tab to make it up to you. You can pay the valets.

Caryn accepts this concession for a moment. Matt hands the waiter some cash when he brings the check.

CARYN

Wait! The parking is more than my burger!
