INT. POSH RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Katie and Keith are sat in a fancy restaurant at a table for two. Keith is dressed in a smart tuxedo with his usual shaggy long hair tied back. Katie is dressed is an elegant dress and looks beautiful.
They have no food on the table, just some bread to nibble on and some complementary wine. The WAITERS walking around are dressed in smart trousers, shirts and dark red waistcoats whilst the MANAGER is dressed in a suit with a red flower in his pocket.
KATIE: I must admit dad, this is nice.
KEITH: Indeed. I Come here sometimes with Stu after a show. Treat him for his assistance.
KATIE: That's nice.
Keith looks at his watch.
KEITH: What time did we get here?
KATIE: About twenty minutes ago.
KEITH: Haven't been fucking served yet. Never normally this slow.
Keith notices the manager and summons him.
MANAGER: Can I help you, sir?
KEITH: Been here nearly half an hour and we haven't been served yet mate.
MANAGER: I do apologise. One of our waiters should have been over. I will grab him now.
KEITH: Cheers.
The Manager walks off towards the kitchen.
KEITH: So. You got a boyfriend?
KATIE: No. Not at the moment. There was this one guy...no, don't worry.
KEITH: Tell me.
KATIE: Well, Seb. The guy in your class. I liked him but I didn't realise he was dating that other girl.
Keith looks at Katie surprised.
KEITH: Seb? Really?
KATIE: Yeah. Oh well. Maybe it's for the best him and his girlfriend ran off together.
Keith laughs awkwardly.
KEITH: Ran off. Yeah.
The Manager returns to the table.
MANAGER: Hello, your waiter will be over in just a second.
He smiles and walks away. Keith nods his head in appreciation and continues his conversation with Katie.
KEITH: I do love you, you know.
Katie smiles lovingly.
KATIE: Love you too, Dad.
Keith smiles back at her. Neville approaches the table, in work uniform with a notepad. He realises who he is serving and he puts his head into his hands in distress.
NEVILLE: (Mumbling) Oh shit.
Keith looks over and notices Neville in his work uniform. A smile develops on his face.
KEITH: I don't fucking believe it.
NEVILLE: What would you like to order?
KEITH: An actor with some fucking talent.
Keith laughs to himself. Katie looks at him, angry. Neville looks around the restaurant awkwardly as some of the other diners look to see what is going on.
