INT. NICE COFFEE
Arthur and his new friends each enjoy a milkshake at their table.
WILLIAM
( enjoying his drink)
It feels good.
ARTHUR
It's true that it's good!
EMILY
It's so nice to have something soft and fresh in the mouth.
TAYLOR
It was so hot today....
WILLIAM
I wasn't talking about the milkshake.... I was talking about finally finishing the week. Friday night is my favorite time.
TAYLOR
( amused)
I've been waiting for this moment since Monday too...
Emily seems in a hurry to change the subject.
EMILY
Yes, we get it. And if not, how's your diet going?
ARTHUR
(Surprised)
What diet? Who is on a diet?
TAYLOR
( embarrassed)
It's my business...
WILLIAM
Taylor has embarked on a new regime: the Predter regime. It's the big fashion these days.
ARTHUR
What does it consist of?
EMILY
It simply consists of putting a clothespin on your nose and breathing with your mouth. All this while exercising. This would allow more calories to be burned.
WILLIAM
While consuming a lot of almonds!
ARTHUR
This is ridiculous, she doesn't need it!
TAYLOR
I'm still here....
WILLIAM
She has funny ideas sometimes. We can't change it.
TAYLOR
( with insistence)
I'm still here....
EMILY
She especially wants to lose weight for Patrick....
TAYLOR
( furious)
Emily! Emily!
WILLIAM
( desperate)
What a fool...
ARTHUR
Who is Patrick?
TAYLOR
We'll discuss this later.
ARTHUR
That's what you told me last time....
TAYLOR
Arthur, please.....
William feels that the tension is rising within the table.
