INT. LONE STAR RESTAURANT - BACK/CUTLERY DAY
(MATT, SAMANTHA, DYLAN)
SAMANTHA AND MATT RE-ENTER THE STAR INTERIOR. YEAH - THEY'RE A LITTLE HIGH BUT TRYING NOT TO LET IT SHOW. THEY'RE LAUGHING THOUGH.
SAMANTHA
No word, ok? It's forbidden [1.] [2.].
MATT
Thank you.
DYLAN WALKS INTO THE CUTLERY AREA FROM DISH.
DYLAN
What's forbidden?
SAMANTHA
The back door. Can't let no outsiders know how to get into Lone Star from the back now, can we?
DYLAN
Ha ha. You like the back door, Sam?
SAMANTHA
Not as much as you, Dylan.
DYLAN
Where were you guys? You missed the whole . . . proposal. I mean - they have literally left us here alone. They've all gone off to celebrate. I can't even text while on the job, and these guys can gossip, and even propose to one another . . . and just decide to take the arvo off . . . and the boss goes with them . . .
SAMANTHA
Proposal? You here alone? You're right; the boss has lost it. So have Steve and Jessica.
DYLAN
Hey. I got this place in check. Front of house, back of house, I'm flyin'. I've already been workin' the hardest, since I work in dish. I gotta clean every single dish that's used, and everything that's used. You're gonna love it, Matt; you'll be the dish dude the days I'm off.
MATT
Sounds good.
SAMANTHA
Nice. I'll be in cutlery. We're practically side by side.
MATT SMILES.
DYLAN
Hey, who was that girl in here before? She was scooping ice out of the storage bin to put with the soup bags.
SAMANTHA
I don't know. I never got her name. She's new.
DYLAN
She's the most beautiful girl in the world.
SAMANTHA
Oh, come on; you say that about every girl . . .
SAMANTHA TURNS TO MATT.
SAMANTHA
. . . and to every girl. The thing you gotta know about Dylan is that he cannot keep his mouth shut. Whatever's on his mind . . .
DYLAN
You love it. You love what's on my mind. And I ain't just saying it. She really is "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World". Says so on her Facebook page.
SAMANTHA
You've seen her Facebook page? Then what's her name?
DYLAN
That "is" her name; "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World".
MATT
Nice. Has a ring to it. But I bet people have trouble getting her attention.
DYLAN
So here's what we do. Next time she's here, she'll be by Antarctica . . .
DYLAN TURNS TO MATT.
DYLAN
That's what we call the ice bin.
DYLAN TAPS THE BIN, TO MATT'S LEFT AND DYLAN'S RIGHT.
DYLAN
I'll be in Africa.
HE SIGNALS DISH.
DYLAN
Now, some guy in Australia - on grill - tries to throw a frozen chip into the bin by Africa - Madagascar. He misses. I run onto the court - dive into the sea so to speak - to grab the chip just as this beautiful cheerleader is walking by with ice on a tray. And whoa! - we bump into each other! Not only do I break the ice but I also put the ice back into the sea and stop global warming . . .
MATT
But it's broken already . . .
DYLAN
Yes, so then I ask her name . . .
MATT
And I pick up the ice . . . coz winds are slow so everything's freezing over [4.] [5.], so we want to raise the temperature . . . and I toss the cubes into the bin like I'm playing for the Utah Jazz . . . And the crowd goes wild . . .
SAMANTHA RAISES HER HAND.
SAMANTHA
Listen Turk and J.D. [3.]; not everything needs to be made into a song and dance. You're as bad as the others. You do realize that I can just ask her what her name is? I "will" be working front of house with her. But if you want me to keep her name from you so that yous can cause the poor girl to fall over in order to introduce yourselves then . . .
DYLAN TURNS HIS HEAD. HE SMILES.
SAMANTHA
What?
DYLAN
Hi.
THE GIRL - THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION - SMILES AT DYLAN AS SHE PASSES BY. SHE STROLLS OVER TO THE ICE BIN AND LIFTS THE LID.
MATT SMILES. HE SHAKES HIS HEAD.
MATT
Looks like bar is still running. And they need ice. Hey newbie, what's your name?
SHE DOESN'T ANSWER, NOR LOOK UP.
MATT TAPS HER SHOULDER. SHE TURNS AROUND TO FACE MATT. SHE SMILES AND TILTS HER HEAD TO ONE SIDE. SHE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, LARGE, BLUE EYES THAT SEEMINGLY BLOW KISSES INTO THE OTHERWISE STALE AIR.
MATT
What's . . . your name?
THE GIRL SHOWS MATT HER RIGHT PALM, MOVING HER HAND GRACEFULLY, AND THEN PUTS THE FOREFINGERS AND MIDDLE FINGERS OF EACH OF HER HANDS TOGETHER AND TAPS THOSE OF HER RIGHT ON THOSE OF HER LEFT TWO TIMES AS THOUGH FORMING TWICE A BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTURED "X" THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM ABOVE.
MATT GLANCES AT DYLAN, THEN SAMANTHA.
THEY SMILE.
