Empire Pizza

Main St

Middletown, Connecticut

Steven: *eating a large pepperoni pizza*

Bob Kimball: *eating a meatball grinder*

Waitress: Here are the checks.

Steven: *sees his check* $17.82?!

Bob Kimball: What's the matter, Steven?

Steven: I don't have enough money. Pay for my food, okay?

Bob Kimball: Nothing doing, Steven! That's not my responsibility!

Steven: Just do it!

Bob Kimball: You can't rely on me to pay for your food! How much do you have?

Steven: Just 5 bucks.

Bob Kimball: I don't know what to tell you, Steven. Sorry.

Steven: I'm so screwed.

Bob Kimball: Yeah, you are. Confess to the waitress that you only have five bucks. See what she has to say about it.

Steven: *sighs* Might as well. *gets up from his seat and walks towards the waitress* Ma'am?

Waitress: Hmm?

Steven: I only have 5 bucks to pay for my food. I am deeply sorry.

Waitress: I know just what to do on an occasion like this.

Steven: *hopeful* Really?!

Waitress: *whacks Steven with a cartoon mallet* There we go!

Steven: *out cold with cartoon stars floating above him*

Waitress: He obviously didn't read the sign here.

Sign: Any customers that don't have enough money to pay for their food, will be whacked with a cartoon mallet. Thank you. Management
