INT. MURPHY'S DINER - DAY
JOEY and CLARICE walk into the diner, selecting a table by the window. The waiter, dark-haired and handsome in his early thirties, approaches them.
WAITER
Hey - Joey Potter. You're not on until tonight.
JOEY
I know, Sean. Strictly customers this morning - our first class is cancelled.
SEAN
Well, it's our pleasure to have you girls in here.
(To Clarice)
Clarice.
CLARICE
(Shyly)
Hi Sean.
SEAN
So, what can I get you?
JOEY
I'll have a couple of poached eggs and some toast.
SEAN
And, Clarice, let me guess. Pancakes.
CLARICE
Blueberry pancakes. You got it.
SEAN
Okay. Two coffees?
Both girls nod.
SEAN
I'll be right back.
CLARICE leans over the whisper to JOEY.
CLARICE
He is so cute!
JOEY
I know. It's that Irish American look about him. He looks like he ought to be in one of those pop groups.
CLARICE
What, like U2?
JOEY
(Defiantly)
Not U2! They're a classic act. He looks as though he ought to be in one of those groups that appeal to, shall we say, younger teens.
CLARICE
Well, I'm just happy I've not got any competition.
JOEY
Clarice. I work here - remember? And he's like, at least ten years older than either of us.
CLARICE
Oh come on Joey. We're not high school girls anymore.
JOEY
No, we're not.
She stares thoughtfully out of the window.
