And this one right here

had the cheese sandwich on.

Yeah let her

And this big guy

had the Spanish Omelet.

I think she knows.

She took the order.

Can I ask you?

Do you know if the cheese

on the omelet has reduced fat?

I don't know.

Can you please check?

Because you see

we have high cholesterol

and diabetes in our family.

Sure. Can I get you anything else?

I'm a diabetic and sometimes

diabetics have very large babies.

My son was ten pounds.

Oh My God!

No, we're great, thank you.

And I'm sorry you have to

hear the miracle of this.

And mine...

O.K.

Is it just me?

Or did she seem like

she was high on marijuana?

You can tell me what's going

on with you and dad?

Can you please pass the salt,

Myrelle?

Thank you.

It's Myron.

Oh. Myron.

Actually I kind of

like Myrelle better.

It reminds me of

Gone With the Wind.

Normally black movies

don't hold my attention,

but I liked that one.

And I like The Jeffersons.

Honey, how is your omelet?

I haven't tasted it yet.

Can I have a little bite?

You know just a smidge.

Yeah, you can tell me how it tastes.

Honey, Can I have a bite.

All crazy.

Oh, get a big bite.

Do you like it?

Do you like my omelet?

Actually...

Should I have gotten ham?

Oh, that's succulent.

So are you going to tell me

what's going on with you and dad

No?

How was school today, Clare?

It's great.

We have a costume

competition today.

There's a runoff

between Freddy Kreuger

and a Crayon.

Freddy Kreuger won.

OK. You know what.

There you go.

Thank you, honey.

You are so nice.

Myron, what do you do for living?

I'm a screenwriter.

No! That is so interesting.

I'm working on

a horror Sci-fi project

set in the jungles of

Vietnam. Lt. Tom Dawson

gets infected by Agent

Orange-infected malaria,

then mutates into

a descent violent

but misunderstood

creature driven to insanity

by the horrors of

herbicidal warfare.

That's unreal.

My original title was Mansquito,

but that's already been taken

Oh Yeah!

So my working title is PTSD,

which is Post Traumatic Stress

Disorder or Destroyer.

That's provoking.

It's presuming

You know the Fly.

Excellent!

Sounds like it'll really capture

the authentic Vietnam experience.

But with a sci-fi hook, exactly.

Half Commando... Half Mosquito...

Total Terror.

My God! That sounds so exciting.

Sounds Great.

I really like to read it.

How much do you get paid?

Well, I don't get paid

until I sell it.

But I did send a query letter to

William Morrison to see

if they want it for Snipes.

Wesley Snipes?

Wow!

Isn't that one of your favorite

black actors?

I don't wanna talk about.

How is everything?

Oh succulent.

Isn't it, everyone?
