CUT TO:
INT. SALLY'S SANDWICH SHOP – DAY
Ramona enters an hour early for her shift, having come straight from school. She hugs her laptop her chest and picks a seat by the window where she opens up her laptop.
HALEY: (to Simon) Ramona's here.
Simon peers through the window. The camera cuts to Ramona, typing while sipping from her jug.
HALEY: She's like a hawk on that thing.
SIMON: (smiling) I know.
HALEY: Did you know I tried to talk to her yesterday and she snapped at me for disrupting her flow?
SIMON: (still smiling) I know.
HALEY: Are you even listening?
SIMON: (dreamily) I know.
HALEY: Okay, you're not. You're so whipped, I can't even believe it.
CUT TO:
Ramona hands the customer the burger and fries they ordered.
RAMONA: (smiling) Thank you for ordering! Come again soon.
Haley is packing her things. She gets up to tie her hair and looks at Ramona with a mixture of amusement and incredulousness.
HALEY: You've really gotten your shit together, huh, Ramona?
RAMONA: I've hit a stride. I'm trying not to fall off it.
Haley smiles.
HALEY: It's nice to see you like this.
She approaches Ramona and gives her a side-hug.
HALEY: I always knew you had it in you. Let me read the script when you finish, okay?
Ramona beams at her.
HALEY: See you.
RAMONA: Bye!
