"Welcome to Joes Diner! What can I get for you?"
"Just a cup of coffee and a glass of Brandy"
"Your voice..."
"Yeah. I called last night about Daniel."
"Oh yes! Meatloaf, greasy onion rings, and pastry Daniel. How could I forget?"
"I'm glad that you didn't. Here's a picture of him, does he match the guy you saw?"
"Yes, that's him."
"I'd like to add a second cup of brandy to my order, if you don't mind."
"This early with nothing to eat? You sure?"
"As positive as I'll ever be. Probably the only right decision I'll ever make."
"Alright... Will that be all?"
"Yes. Hold on, let me grab my change."
"No worries. This one is on me."
"Oh...Well, thanks."
"No problem, I hope you feel better."
"I hope so too."
