Logan & Zoey are at a restaurant, standing by the counter and staring at someone offscreen. They sip their Coca-Cola drinks while discussing in low tones - I think [laugh track]
Logan: I feel bad about that guy over there. He looks very worried (sips his drink again).
Zoey: True, but not a very nice thing to say, Logan. I wish I could find out what's wrong.
Logan: (nonchalant) Or we could ask him to take life easy and leave.
Zoey: (faces Logan sharply) Logan, that's my boyfriend we're talking about. (Camera reveals a saddened Trevor seating by himself and eating chicken wings) [laugh track]
Logan: (surprised) We were talking about Trevor? I thought u meant the guy behind him
Zoey: (rolls eyes) That's Mikey [laugh track]. They asked us to meet here. Good thing we're on a break from the classroom show.
Logan: And I ask not to be a part of it.
Zoey: Quit your whining and just follow my lead. (The two walk up to Mikey and Trevor, who are now seated) Hey, babe. Mikey. We're so sorry we're late.
Trevor: (confused) Who's we?
Zoey: What do you mean? I mean we - (turns back to see that Logan is nowhere to be found) [laugh track] (Zoey mutters under her breath) Coward [Another laugh track].
Mikey: What's his excuse this time?
Zoey: (sits beside them) I don't know, and I don't care. After all, he has a show now. (sips her drink) Anyway, Mikey? What is the urgent meeting u called us for?
Mikey: I need your help to get Trevor and me, a sweet music gig at this amazing restaurant tonight.
Trevor: We need the extra cash for the rent, and Mikey needs some of that to take the waitress over there to dinner (points at a tall, pretty and busty blonde waitress at the counter, cleaning one of the wine glass cups. She happens to be Tracy, the pizza delivery lady from earlier, but none of them notice, not even Zoey).
Zoey: (gushes) Michael has a crush, that's interesting. (sarcastic) I hope she stays [laugh track]
Trevor: Your dates almost always never want to stay.
Mikey: (defensive) Not to brag, but I don't have any relationship faults.
Zoey: Your driving IS your relationship fault [laugh track]. If I remember collectively, Kendra passed out -
Trevor: Rita kept screaming and almost had a heart attack.
Zoey: And Phoebe went into labour without you realizing. Good thing she survived
Mikey: Phoebe Thunderman?
Zoey/Trevor: Eww [laugh track].
Zoey: Good thing, I know the manager. And I'll try to speak with him to let you do your gig thing. As long as you fix your driving problem.
Mikey: Thanks, Zoey.
Zoey: Just out of curiosity, what is the name of your band?
Mikey/Trevor: (smirk at each other before responding in unison) 2 Broke Boys!
Zoey: (trying to be confused) Excuse me? [laugh track]
Trevor: Yeah, 2 Broke Boys who will eventually be rich and famous someday
Zoey: (sarcastic) Or 2 Broke Boys that could get sued by 2 Broke Girls for the crime of dumbing down their names, and literally becoming 2 Broke Boys [laugh track]
Mikey: Sure thing, Zoey 202, we'll look for a better name [Another laugh track].
Zoey: (stands up) Shoot your shot while I do my part in helping. And Mikey, don't tell the waitress your band name is 2 Broke Boys. She might be Max in disguise [laugh track and applause] (she leaves as Mikey stares in wonder).
Trevor: (faces Mikey) I'd honestly listen to Zoey if you know what's good for you. I've met a waitress who acts exactly like Oleg [laugh track]
Mikey: All these Broke jokes are actually going to make me "broke" faster than Caroline's dad (palms his face as he realizes what he just did). Great, now, I sound like Max! [laugh track]
Trevor: (sees the waitress about to leave, tells Mikey in a supportive tone) Bro, u better talk to her now. She's about to leave.
Mikey: Wish me luck.
Trevor: (bluntly) Don't make me say a Max Black joke [laugh track].
Mikey: (rolls eyes as he walks up to the busty waitress) Hello, pretty lady - (reads name tag) I mean, Tracy. How u doing?
Tracy: (cleaning another wine glass) Yeah, I'm good. Just another day working in a diner, so "Lee" fully.
Mikey: (gasps) Max, is that you? [both laugh, alongside laugh track]
Tracy: Yeah, I get that a lot. That I act and give off Max vibes. And in case you're wondering, I do not have a previously wealthy roommate [laugh track].
Mikey: That's a relief. Besides, my friend and I are in a band. We hope to book a gig here, and afterwards, I could take you out to dinner soon.
Tracy: (grins) I'd love to go to dinner with you. (wonders) What's the name of your band, though?
Mikey: (proudly) 2 Broke Boys
Tracy: [laugh track] 2 Broke Boys?! U are SO LUCKY, I'm not in one of Max's moods today, or u would have gotten your heart "broken" by now. (The two share a hearty laugh. Meanwhile, Zoey and Trevor watch from a distance, impressed at the turnout of events)
Zoey: I'm so glad that everything is working out as expected. And also relieved we didn't meet that way [laugh track].
Trevor: U give off the Max vibes, though, and we still need a Caroline.
Zoey: It's settled. If there is ever a movie based on 2 Broke Girls, we are getting Logan to audition as Caroline.
Trevor: Agreed! (shakes hands with Zoey, as though they are making a deal)
Michael: (behind them) Me too. (Both Zoey and Trevor jolt in surprise. Jesse is also there as well)
Zoey: Jesse? Michael? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with Logan.
Michael: Logan's at the other side of the road. He said something about getting cupcakes for you guys.
Trevor: (hugs Zoey) I can't agree with you more right now. For Logan to get cupcakes, that is a very sweet thing to do.
Zoey: A very Caroline thing to do (winks) [laugh track].
Michael: (staring at the phone in his hand) First off, gross. Also, I follow Max and Caroline on IG. Max says, "Please stop with the Broke Girls jokes. It makes me want to actually break y'all in pieces." [brief laugh track]
Jesse: And y'all are not nice to Mr. Liam with the Broke thing. (pouts) It's not fair.
Zoey: Oh, look. I forgot you're Logan's kid.
Jesse: What of Michael?
Trevor: (scoffs) Jesse, we both know you and Logan have way too similar personalities. Michael takes after me-
Michael: (cuts in) Not even a little [laugh track]
Zoey: Is that Logan's phone?
Jesse: (ignores them and mentions) Also, Caroline adds, "Sweet, but there's a kid with you. I will end u if you don't stop the cupcake jokes." [laugh track] (Zoey and Trevor look at each other in mock terror, before releasing themselves from their hug)
Trevor: On second thought, we'll ask them first before we make any more word plays. (Soon, a cha-ching sound is heard. Trevor brings out his phone from his pocket) Babe, I just got paid $40 by Mr Jeremy.
Zoey: That's great. (pauses, then has a strange realization) Trev', the alert sounds like the ending of every Broke Girls episode.
Trevor: (horrified) OH, no [laugh track]. (carries Jesse suddenly and says to no one in particular) If u can hear us - or read us - it was not intentional. (to Zoey) Let's meet Caroline, I mean Logan, across the street or the real one will "end us!"
Zoey: Agreed! (Zoey holds Michael's hand, and the four quickly leave the restaurant) [laugh track]
(Meanwhile, Mikey and Tracy are at the counter, laughing at the three).
Tracy: (holds up her phone - implying she had made the sound) I had to stop them one way or another. The jokes are killing me!
Mikey: I swear [laugh track]. So, you're done with your shift. Shall we?
Tracy: We shall. (drops the wine glass and walks out of the restaurant with Mikey) [Laugh track and applause as the scene slowly fades to black - with the "cha-ching" sound heard in the background in similar fashion to 2 Broke Girls endings...]
