Manager: Ladies, ladies.. I think that there is a tubetop that is waiting for some service, so why don’t we get on it? Janet?
Janet Blaum: God, he’s a pill! I swear, one of these days, one more comment like this, and I am really gonna let him have it!
Waitress #2: God, I wish I had the guts..
Waitress #3: Hey, you want me to take the tubetop?
Janet Blaum: No, I got it. But they’d better not have a coupon. [ approaches the table ] Hey, how you guys doing tonight?
Customer #1: Good. We have a coupon.
Janet Blaum: That’s, um.. that’s no problem. I should let you know, also, that Tuesday is seafood night here at Jazzies —

Manager: Is that true, Janet?
Janet Blaum: No!
