[Starts with a waitress handing over the check to a group in a restaurant.]Waitress: Okay, guys. No rush. Just gonna leave the check.
Chris: Well, thank you.
Kyle: Hang on, birthday boy. You’re not paying a dime.
[Cut to Kyle and Kandis]Kandis: Yes. Let’s all of us, the rest of us, we’re gonna split it. Is that okay with everyone?
[Cut to Chris and Heidi]Heidi: Oh, well, I didn’t have wine. Oh, but you know what? Who cares? It’s fine.
[Cut to Kyle and Kandis]Kandis: Yeah, it’s just easier if you’re okay with that. I mean, and since we all have places to go, I think.
[Cut to Chris and Heidi]Heidi: Um, no. It’s totally fine.
[Cut to Mary and Beth]Mary: Excuse me! Now the last thing I want is you call a fuss. But I cannot sit here and silence for one more moment while this unequal, unjust action unfolds!
Kandis: Mary, Beth, is there a problem?
Mary: Remind me, what is your name again?
[Cut to Kandis]Kandis: Seriously? I’m your supervisor. It’s Kandis.
[Cut to Mary and Beth]Beth: Well, Kandis, I think you ought to ask yourself if you’re a supervisor or a taker of advantages of people.
[Cut to Kyle and Kandis]Kyle: I’m sorry. I’m not following.
[Cut to Mary and Beth]Mary: Well, let me draw a map for your thoughts then. You are storming on a woman to pay for wine that she did not have.
Beth: And further most, expect her to quietly sit and roll over like a prostitute from the Amsterdam district, I think not!
[Cut to Kyle and Kandis]Kyle: You two haven’t spoken a word all night and now you’re like, mad?
[Cut to Chris and Heidi]Chris: Honestly, I can pay. I have a real birthday party to go to. So?
[Cut to Mary and Beth]Mary: No one’s going anywhere. Because this situation has become un-tonable!
[Cut to Kyle and Kandis]Kyle: Actually, I am gonna go because my babysitter leaves at eight whether I’m there or not.
[Cut to everybody. Kyle leaves.]Beth: Well, fine! He left. But that’s the only one who leaves this table. Because the rest of you will stay and hear what you need to hear. Lock the doors!
[Cut to the waitress]Waitress: You got it!
[Cut to Kandis]Kandis: What?
[Cut to everybody]Mary: You’re going to hear the story of this woman that you’ve all decided as too pathetic to be cheated with dignity!
Heidi: Whoa!
Beth: Because every night this woman goes home to nothing and nothing!
Mary: Empty apartment. Empty bed. Empty head. And now you predators want to empty her purse as well.
Beth: She want to Sephora on her lunch break to get eyelashes put on top of her own eyelashes.
[Heidi is getting embarrassed]Hoping beyond all reason that maybe someone would become a true friend, she has none.
Heidi: Oh, my god!
[Heidi tries to stand but Mary and Beth push her back to the seat]Mary: And again, might I remind you that she makes much less than everyone at this table.
Heidi: I do?
[Cut to Kandis]Kandis: Yes, but they weren’t supposed to tell you that.
[Cut to Mary, Beth and Heidi]Heidi: Okay, also, I have friends.
Mary: [interrupting] Bop-bop-bop! Kandis, don’t worry about Kandis. Why don’t you leave Kandis to me.
[Cut to Kandis]Kandis: Seriously guys, I will pay the whole bill. It’s no big deal.
[Cut to Mary, Beth and Heidi]Mary: Oh! Shall we all applaud queen Kandis? The queen of kindness and generosity?
[Cut to Kandis]Kandis: I wasn’t trying to be–
[Cut to Mary, Beth and Heidi]Beth: And I want the entire restaurant to hear this.
[Cut to everybody in the restaurant]Everyone turn to me! This woman who you so easily throw away like trash, do you know what she did today? Do you know what she did that none of you took the time to notice but us? She has been silently releasing wind at this dinner and said nothing because she didn’t want to miss a moment or steal any of the birthday attention.
Everybody: Wow!
Mary: Yes! So next time you decide that it’s okay to take advantage of the advantage-less, remind yourself that they’re but for the grace of god go you!
Beth: And Kandis, just so you know, and so your children will know, tonight is the night the lights went out in Georgia.
[The other people are clapping] [Mary and Beth leave] [Cut to Kandis]Kandis: So, I guess they’re not gonna pay?
[Cut to Heidi]Heidi: No, they left. And they’re temps, right?
[Cut to Chris]Chris: Yeah, just for a week!
