I Really Hate My Job Page #4

old-fashioned movie star.

Now I know who you mean.

He has the eyes of

a beautiful wild animal.

I wouldn't put it

exactly that way, but...

Oh, yes.

Sorry. Yes, I know

who you mean.

Um, he was in that, um...

that film called...

uh...

Suzie, have you got

your camera on you?

- Of course.

- Great.

Could you kind of

surreptitiously, um...

- What?

- Take a shot of... of...

[laughing]

You want me

to take his photo?

No, you can't do that.

That is so what

my mother would do.

- You can't do that.

- Only takes one star

to cause a stampede of them.

A stampede of stars?

Would you agree that,

as a culture, we are overcome

not by the sense

of possibility

but the banality

of the social orders

we have erected

for ourselves?

Salads.

Customers arriving in 10.

- I need to do his table.

- You're doing the bar.

I help out on the floor

when necessary.

This is necessary.

What, you think

he's going to insist

you are given a role

in his next film?

Stranger things

have happened.

- I don't know if that's true.

- Suzie, I am begging you.

This is me begging you.

Movie stars hate to be bugged

by desperate waitresses.

Okay, I might be desperate,

but I am not above humiliation.

Toilets, Abi.

Suze, water, please.

Suzie, please, please, please?

Please, please, please?

Please, please,

please, please.

Okay, you can do his table,

but only if I get to play

at least four Al Bowlly songs

without complaint.

I love you, Suzie.

I love you, I love you,

I love you.

God, imagine

his handsome face here.

Abi, you're behaving

like a teenager.

If only I was one.

At least I'd have a future.

You're not even 30.

What's it like

being you?

F***ing sad.

Abi, please

don't drink on shift.

First customers due.

[Abi thinking]

In reality,

he might be a midget.

He could be

the actor equivalent

of the fake moon

landing theory.

He might love me.

[Al Bowlly]

# Thanks for all

the lovely delights #

# I've found in your embrace #

Greg's coming in

tomorrow to talk.

What about?

I think maybe we

need to rationalize

our business strategy

to become

more cost effective.

What does that mean?

Uh, that we need

more customers.

How's Simona?

Oh, yeah, you know,

she's, uh...

she's really great.

What?

She keeps saying how

maybe we should be friends.

Aren't you friends already?

Lovers say they want

to be friends when they

want to leave you.

Oh.

I'm sure it's just a hiccup.

Have you tried

drinking her upside down?

What?

Um...

I'm sure everything

will be fine.

Oh, no. Yeah,

absolutely it'll be fine.

You know, there was

this couple in last night

who seemed really in love,

so I gave them

really great service.
