MR. BLONDE

What if she's too busy?

MR. WHITE

The words "too busy" shouldn't be

in a waitress's vocabulary.

NICE GUY EDDIE:

Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last

thing you need is another cup of

coffee.

They all laugh.

MR. WHITE

These ladies aren't starvin to

death. They make minimum wage.

When I worked for minimum wage, I

wasn't lucky enough to have a job

that society deemed tipworthy.

NICE GUY EDDIE:

Ahh, now we're getting down to it.

It's not just that he's a cheap

bastard--

MR. ORANGE

--It is that too--

NICE GUY EDDIE:

--It is that too. But it's also

he couldn't get a waiter job. You

talk like a pissed off dishwasher:

"F*** those c*nts and their

f***ing tips."

MR. BLONDE

So you don't care that they're

counting on your tip to live?

Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.

MR. WHITE

Do you know what this is? It's

the world's smallest violin,

playing just for the waitresses.

MR. BLONDE

You don't have any idea what

you're talking about. These

people bust their ass. This

is a hard job.

MR. WHITE

So's working at McDonald's, but

you don't feel the need to tip

them. They're servin ya food, you

should tip em. But no, society

says tip these guys over here, but

not those guys over there. That's

bullshit.

MR. ORANGE

They work harder than the kids at

McDonald's.

MR. WHITE

Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning

fryers.

MR. BROWN

These people are taxed on the tips

they make. When you stiff 'em,

you cost them money.
