After squabbles with the steak house next door, James considers selling Jack's Bistro. Jack decided to put tables outside the bistro but one of the tables is by Rick's Steak House. Both resturants end up serving the same customer the same meal.

Rick's waiter takes the customer's (who's sitting outside) order. At the same time Felipe is also serving him.

"Here you are, senor. Would you like to taste test?" Felipe offers.

"No, I'm sure it's fine." The man lifts up his paper to see a bottle of wine already in front of him. "I'm not paying for two bottles. I only ordered one."

"You only pay for one, sir."

"Really? I must come here again." He resumes reading.


Jack is in the kitchen. "This is a very important meal." He tells Janet. "The first time we've actually served someone outside."

"Don't you think he would prefer a hamburger?"

"Don't be absured Janet. If it's stake he wants, it's stake he gets."

Meanwhile, outside, Rick and one of his waitors is tending to the customer. "You're stake, sir." The waitor places it on the table.

"Is it rare?"

"Oh, no sir. We got plenty in the fridge."

"Uh.."Rick interupts. "It's rare, sir, as you ordered."

Jack and Janet step out of the bistro.

"You're stake sir..." She pauses, seeing he already got his order."what?" She looks up at Rick and his waitor, back to the table.

"Who's stake's that?" Jack asks.

"Mine." says Rick. "He ordered it."

"Yes, but it's my table."

"In front of my restaurant."

"I'm sorry." Says the customer. "I just don't understand."

"It's alright, sir. We'll have this situated." He adress the waitor, "dressing on the salad, Neil, of course." He turns to Jack, as Jack and Janet step off to the side. "Rather good idea, these outside tables." Rick smirks.

"Now listen you.." Jack starts tapping Rick in the chest with his finger.

"uh... Jack I think you better control yourself." Janet muttered.

Jack turns to Janet. "Janet, keep out of this." He turns back to Rick and continues to poke him.

"I do have a black belt in Karate." Rick says.

Jack stops poking him, straighting Rick's tie. "It's lucky for you I can control myself."

"Look, try to see the funny side of it."

"Yes, I suppose it's quite ammusing, really."

"Well, yes, isn't it." The two start laughing.

Then Janet and Jack go back inside the Bistro. Jack until he closes the door behing him. "I'll kill him."

Janet has a disaproving look on her face.

"Did he not like the stake?" Felipe asked.

"Not him." Jack said, pointing "Him."

"Imagine that, letting this all go to waste." Janet said, shaking her head.

"If it's any help, it is my lunch break soon." Felipe says.

"It's yours unless you want to pay it off with your next two paychecks." Jack told him.

"No, no. It's fine. I can go hungry."


"Everything to your satisfaction sir?" Rick asks the customer.

"Yes, yes. Very nice."

"Thank you sir. Your bill."

"But I already payed it."

"Pardon?"

"To your other waiter."

Rick looks toward Jack's bisto, where Jack is standing in the doorway, fanning the money.
