INT. DINER - EARLY NIGHT

COMMISSIONER REED SITS AT A BOOTH LOOKING AT THE MENU. THE WAITRESS COMES BY REFILLS HIS COFFEE AND COMMISSIONER REED STOPS HER.

[Commissioner Reed]

Excuse me, could I have some more creamer?

[Waitress]

Sure thing, hon.

[Commissioner Reed]

Thank you.

THE WAITRESS LEAVES AND COMMISSIONER REED LOOKS BACK AT THE MENU.

[Commissioner Reed]

(To himself)

I think I know what I want.

COMMISSIONER REED PUTS DOWN THE MENU THEN TAKES OUT A NEWSPAPER HE HAS WITH HIM. A FEW SECONDS LATER, COMMISSIONER REED IS JOINED BY A MAN WHO SITS IN THE BOOTH ACROSS FROM HIM.

[Commissioner Reed]

Ah, Mr. Elder. You made it in one piece.

[Evan Elder]

Commissioner. I haven't eaten in one of these places in a long time.

[Commissioner Reed]

Yeah, me neither. Whenever my family would ever go out this was the place we went most of the time. I have a lot of memories, not with this place in particular but I'm sure you know what I mean.

[Evan Elder]

Why did you want to meet here of all places?

[Commissioner Reed]

I feel like it's a pretty good representation of Bedrock.

THE WAITRESS COMES BACK BY WITH COMMISSIONER REED'S CREAMER.

[Waitress]

Here's your creamer. Oh, you must be the person he was waiting for. Do you gents know what you'll be ordering or do you need a couple of minutes?

[Commissioner Reed]

I'll have the cabin special.

[Evan Elder]

I'll think I'll have 2 pancakes, an extra helping of hashbrowns, and orange juice.

[Waitress]

Alrighty, I'll take those menus off your hand and put those orders in.

[Commissioner Reed]

Thanks.

[Evan Elder]

Thank you.

THE WAITRESS TAKES THE MENUS AND LEAVES.

[Evan Elder]

Now, what were you saying? This place is a good representation of the city, how so?
