INT. DEX'S DINER - NIGHT
Echo proudly leads Fives, Hardcase, and Rex inside Dex's Diner.
FIVES
This is your joint?
ECHO
Just wait.
A really hot waitress walks out from the kitchen. She's not the lady from Attack of the Clones, but instead a semi-tall, very thin waitress with thick, long, wavy hair. Fives' jaw drops to the floor. Hardcase can't help but stare at places he shouldn't.
She notices Echo and with a surprised face sets a tray full of food down at the bar. Echo walks up to her, leaving his brothers behind, and whispers something to her.
FIVES
What's he saying?
REX
Maybe we should leave.
HARDCASE
Leave! I'm not leaving.
Rex glances at Hardcase, sees where he is staring, and elbows Hardcase in the ribs.
REX
Don't stare. It's rude.
HARDCASE
Are there more waitresses in the back?
FIVES
(looks around)
I doubt it.
Echo walks back over to his brothers locking arms with the waitress.
ECHO
This is Mia.
A round of quiet "nice to meet you"s are said.
HARDCASE
Do you have any friends?
MIA
(laughs)
Echo, did you bring your friends hoping they could get dates, too?
ECHO
No, I just wanted to...
(whispers)
Show you off.
Fives dramatically rolls his eyes.
FIVES
My luck with the ladies has ran out tonight! I'm going back to the barracks. Bye.
Fives huffs and storms out the door.
REX
I might leave, too. Nice to meet you, Mia.
MIA
Nice to meet you.
Rex follows the annoyed Fives out the door. Hardcase sees an ice cream sundae sitting on the counter and sits down in front of it, stuffing his hand into it.
ECHO
Hardcase, are you leaving, too?
HARDCASE
(busy eating)
Nope. The night is still young and food will be my date tonight!
Echo laughs and then whispers to Mia. She giggles, then takes Echo back into the kitchen.
EXT. CORUSCANT STREETS - NIGHT
Rex runs up to Fives.
REX
Wait up! I'm walking back with you.
FIVES
(sourly)
I don't need a chaperone.
REX
No, I want to go back, too.
FIVES
Oh.
Fives slumps his shoulder's forward and lowers his head.
REX
Something bothering you?
FIVES
Our one night on leave in Coruscant and I can't even find myself a good date.
REX
Well, did you at least have a fun time tonight?
Fives practically scowls at Rex.
FIVES
No. Did you?
REX
I guess.
FIVES
It blows my mind how you spend all your time on leave inside.
REX
Well... I just like it that way.
