It was your average day at work, and after accidentally insulting his best friend, Paul decided to go down to Beanie's.
"Hey, you going to Beanie's?" Good god, what does he want this time?
"Yeah."
"You didn't invite me."
"Sorry Ted, you wanna come?"
"No no no no no. I don't wanna show you up, yeah." Ted winked at him. What?
"What do you mean?"
"Paul. Come on. I know why you walk that extra block instead of going to Starbucks across the street."
"It's like I said last time. I don't wanna give my money to some corporate chain."
"Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. You sure it doesn't have anything to do with that cute little barista over there, huh?"
"That's not the reason."
"Yeah, the, uh, 'Latte Hottay'! as she's known throughout the land, right? You know what I'm saying? My wife! Right?" What is happening? "It's like Borat, dude." Who?
"Alright, bye Ted!"
"Hey! Get me a chai iced tea, eh?! EH?!" That was the last Paul heard as he walked away as fast as he could. He honestly had no idea whatever Ted was talking about. Who was this 'Latte Hottay'? Could he be talking about Emma? Who knows? Well, you know, him, but if he could help it, Paul was going to steer clear from Ted as much as he could.
