ANNE:

Peter, what's going on?!

PETER:

Huh?

ANNE:

It's 3:
30. Why aren't you at work?!

PETER:

Because I didn't feel like it.

ANNE:

Peter, what is wrong with you?! First, you sit there while Dr. Swanson

dies and you just walk out of the car and embarrass me in front of my

friends. Don't blame this on hypnosis either. That's total bull!

Peter hangs up but Anne calls back.

ANNE:

THROUGH!!! AND –HA- ONE MORE THING. I'VE BEEN CHEATING ON YOU!!!! (BEEP

BILL:

From now on, you use the time sheets if you work on two or more job

the old time sheets...

TOM:

Where's Peter? How come he didn't show up this weekend?

MICHAEL:

I, I don't know.

BILL:

PETER:

Hi, I'm Peter.

JOANNA:

Hi. How can I help you?

PETER:

What are you doing for lunch today?

Well, our specials are barbecued chicken - it's actually right over

there on the board. (points) Excuse me.

She goes to take orders.

BRIAN:

Hey! Look who's back! Table for three, to -

Peter shoves him out of his way and goes over to Joanna.

PETER:

I was asking what you were doing for lunch. Would you like to have

lunch with me?

JOANNA:

Oh, are you serious? Yeah, I don't , I don't think I'm supposed to do

that.

PETER:

Oh. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go next door and get a

table and if you'd like to join me, no big deal. All right? And if not,

that's cool too. Ok?

He starts to walk away.

JOANNA:

Uh, when you say "next door", do you mean Chili's or Flingers?

PETER:

Flingers.

JOANNA:

Ok.
