[A busy diner owned by the blustering, mustachioed
Pete Dionasopolis. He rings up a sale on his cash
register. Greek music plays quietly in the background
throughout the sketch. The phone rings and Pete
answers:]
Pete: [into phone] Hello, Olympia Cafe! ... [yells to
George, the cook] Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Pete: [into phone] No. No fries, chips. ... [yells to
Nico, the counterman] Four chip!
Nico: Four chip!
Pete: [into phone] What to drink? No Coke. Pepsi. ...
[yells to Nico] Four Pepsi!
Nico: Four Pepsi!
Pete: [into phone] All right.
[Sandy, the stern, dark-haired waitress is training an
awkward new employee.]
Sandy: [to the new waitress] Just do what I do, huh?
[demonstrates what to say to the others] Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Three chip!
New Waitress: Three chip!
Sandy: Three Pepsi!
New Waitress: Three Pepsi!
Nico: Three chip! Three Pepsi!
Male Customer: [paying his bill, to Pete at the cash
register] I see that you are training another new
waitress again.
Pete: [making change] Yeah. But she won't stay. They
all want money! You know? Even him! [indicates Nico
who stands by, grinning stupidly] I bring him over
from Greece. I give him free food. A nice place to
sleep in the back. But, even now, he's always asking
for money! Ehh! [pushes Nico back to work] Come on,
get out of here.
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Two chip!
New Waitress: Two chip!
Sandy: Two Pepsi!
New Waitress: Two Pepsi!
Nico: Two chip! Two Pepsi!
Female Customer: [sitting at counter, to Pete] Hey,
uh, I'm almost done. I, uh, better order that stuff to
go.
Pete: Ah! I like you. You eat fast. All right, what to
go?
Female Customer: Um, I want a cheeseburger, Pepsi and
a bag of chips.
Pete: [yells] Cheeseburger! Pepsi! Chip!
George: Cheeseburger!
Nico: Pepsi! Chip!
Pete: Sandy! C'mere!
Sandy: [Pete exits as Sandy stands at the cash
register with the new waitress who hangs up her coat
before Sandy explains the system] Okay, when Pete
goes, you have to stand by the cash register but don't
touch it. Pete is the only one to touch the cash
register, huh?
Benefit Lady: [enters with placard, goes to counter,
talks to Nico] Hi! Uh, we're having a benefit for the
Tagart twins -- you know, the little boys that ate the
balloon -- and I was wondering if I could put this
poster in your window. [Nico doesn't understand a word
she's saying but nods anyway] I can? [Nico shrugs, the
benefit lady is delighted] Oh!
Nico: [to the benefit lady] Cheeseburger?
Female Customer: [to the benefit lady] Look, um, he
doesn't understand English. All he knows is
"Cheeseburger" ...
Nico: [to female customer] Cheeseburger?
Female Customer: [George brings her order in a bag]
Oh, hi, George, look, uh, I wanna tell you this joke,
okay? [indicates Nico] Oh, tell him too -- it's real
funny. Um, this guy says to the owner of a restaurant
... [George translates in Greek to Nico] Uh, I got
some bad news for you and some worse news ... [George
translates] Uh, the bad news is ... [George
translates] ... that there's a fly in my soup ...
[George translates] Uh, the worse news is ... [George
translates] It's the best part of the meal! ... [An
amused George translates the punch-line but Nico
doesn't understand so George repeats it. Nico still
doesn't get it, shrugs apologetically. George gives
up, gestures to the customer that Nico is not too
bright, hands her her order, and heads back to the
grill.] Thank you. [rises, pays at register, and
exits]
Sandy: [phone rings, Sandy picks up, speaks into
phone] Olympia Cafe. ... To go? Okay. ... [yells]
Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Two chip! Two Pepsi!
Nico: Two chip! Two Pepsi!
Pete: [returns, shoos Sandy and the new waitress away]
All right, come on, come on, come on, come on, let's
go, come on, move, come on!
Benefit Lady: [to Pete] Hi! Um, we're having a benefit
and I was wondering if I could put this poster in your
window.
Pete: Sure. Five dollars.
Benefit Lady: No! No, no, no, you don't understand.
It's a benefit.
Pete: [upset] Look, you come in here, you don't even
buy something, you want me to put something in the
window?!
Benefit Lady: Oh, okay, I'll buy something, I'll buy
something.
Pete: Okay, what'll you have?
Benefit Lady: Uh, I'll have a club sandwich and a tea.
Pete: No club, no tea. Cheeseburger.
Benefit Lady: Okay, I'll have a cheeseburger, well
done.
Pete: All right, cheeseburger. What to drink?
Benefit Lady: Ah, no tea?
Pete: No tea. Pepsi.
Benefit Lady: Ah, do you have root beer?
Pete: No. No root beer. Pepsi.
Benefit Lady: Grape. Do you have--?
Pete: Pepsi!!
Benefit Lady: I don't think I want anything to drink,
thanks.
Pete: Okay, tea. [quickly pours her a tea]
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Sandy: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Pete: [upset, to the new waitress] Hey, hey, yo! Hey,
you! You don't say it right! Okay? Listen. [with Greek
accent, spoken quickly and without pronouncing the
"s"] Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Pete: Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger!
Pete: No, no. Cheeseburger!
George: [thinks an order is being made] Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
[Pete, George, and the new waitress all yell
"Cheeseburger" back and forth, faster and faster,
until the waitress explodes in fury:]
New Waitress: [throws her ticket book] I can't stand
this place! [runs behind register to grab her coat]
It's, like, nuts! I'm just getting out of this place!
This is crazy! [grabs coat] Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
New Waitress: [keeps ranting] Pepsi! Chip!
Nico: Pepsi! Chip!
New Waitress: [putting on coat] Cheeseburger! Pepsi!
George: Cheeseburger!
Nico: Pepsi!
Benefit Lady: [trying to calm her] Hey, it's okay!
It's okay! Everything's gonna be fine now. [to the
employees, who watch dispassionately] Can somebody get
her a glass of water?
Pete: No water. Pepsi.
Benefit Lady: All right, a Pepsi!
Pete: One Pepsi! [But Nico merely stands there,
watching the distressed waitress until Pete hits him
several times with a menu] Pepsi! Pepsi! Pepsi! Come
on!
Nico: Pepsi!
Sandy: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
George: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
[We end on the image of numerous burger patties
sizzling on George's grill.]
