Ross: Nothing

Laura: Tell me

Ross: It's nothing Laur

Laura:(digs her elbow into his leg)

Ross: Ow! Your bony elbow!

Laura: Then talk

Ross: It's so cliché to find the lady eating a salad

Laura: Well you haven't tried theirs before so shut up, and maybe I'm a cliché girl, so what?

Ross: Nothing, it just makes you better (kisses her cheek)

Laura:(smiles) Awe, thanks... and you just wiped sauce on me, didn't you?

Ross:(laughs) Yeah

Laura:(rolls her eyes and wipes it off) Ha ha ha....

Ross:(smiles) It's pretty funny
