"Oh, hi. Wow, umm, hi, Trish. You look... wow."
"I take it you find me attractive in a suit?"
"I-I never said that."
"Mhmm, never said otherwise. Anyway, I just came from a job interview, so... that explains the outfit. Are you going to take my order or do you want to take a few more minutes to drool over me?"
"I-I'm not drooling over you. What-what will you have? I mean, your order. Can I take you...r order?"
"Hot chocolate. And whatever dessert is good with it."
"I'm good with it. The hot chocolate, I mean."
"What?"
"Anything's good with the hot chocolate. Wha-what'd I say?"
"Nothing. Just... here's 10 bucks. Surprise me with whatever dessert's good."
"Are you... are you okay, Trish?"
"Yup. Almost 7, Mella. I should get to my seat."
"Don't you think it'd be more believable if... you know... you stayed here at the cashier a bit? Just until she gets in? There's no line yet anyway."
"Okay."
"How've you been?"
"I'm good. You?"
"Just 'good'? No details?"
"What do you want to know, Carmella?"
"Any... anything new? What's... what's the job interview for?"
"Just some part time thing at my dad's friend's business."
"What position?"
"Just some marketing position..."
"When do you know if you got in?"
"They'll call me within the week. How about you, what's up?"
"Same old. Cafe, acads, crazy ex... the usual."
"Alena?"
"You don't like her, don't you?"
"No, I don't. I don't think she's good for you."
"And you are?"
"I never said that, Carmella."
"You never said otherwise."
"Don't go using my lines on me. All I'm saying is you can do better."
"Like who?"
"Anyway, do you think your ex is still dropping by today? You've made it pretty clear last week that you don't want her anymore."
"I don't know. She's very persistent. Oh, there she is. Right on time. Crap, she's walking over."
"Give me a kiss on the cheek and act like you actually like having me around for a few seconds."
"I'll just bring your food to your table, babe. Give me a ride tonight?"
"I know a couple things you can ride tonight, princess."
"I... uhmm... wow, s-sure-"
"I'm just playing, Mella. I'll head over to my seat. Go do your thing, miss manager."
"I really appreciate you dropping by all the time. Thanks, baby."
"Anything for you, princess."
