A family-owned restaurant.
A woman speaks to the owner.
Nancy: Do you think that young man will come back?
Jen: Our credit card machine was down.
Nancy: And he’s going to the bank machine?
Jen: That’s what he said. But I told him the bank machine was that way.
Nancy: And he walked the other way.
Jen: And he walked the other way, correct.
Nancy: I can pay for his food.
Jen: No, no, no.
[Pause]
Nancy: You have faith in him?
Jen: I wouldn’t go that far.
Nancy: Do you know him?
Jen: I don’t know him, but…
Nancy: I heard you say turn right and walk a block.
Jen: Yes.
Nancy: So there he goes, turning left.
Jen: There might be a bank machine the other way. I don’t know.
Nancy: There’s no bank machine the other way.
[Pause]
Jen: The machine is working again.
Nancy: I have cash.
Jen: The machine is fine.
Nancy: I’d like to pay for it all with cash.
Jen: All of what?
Nancy: His food, too.
Jen: No. I’m actually not going to let you do that. He might come back. He very well could return.
