Lark Tavern, early evening


Karen, bartender, to Chris, regular customer:

Karen: Well don't you look handsome tonight?

Chris: Really? Thanks. I don't feel so handsome.

Karen: It's your inner glow.

(Silence. Chris, standing, sips his beer.)

Karen: You may get free entertainment tonight.

Chris: Really?

Karen: Last two nights I've gotten yelled at by 40 year old women because I've cut them off and thrown them out. So maybe it will happen again tonight.

Chris: Really?

Karen: I'm sick of old drunk ladies calling me a fat bitch.
