Brianna: It's okay Katie, we've known each other longer.
Moriah: Yeah, we used to go on double dates in Grandma's upstairs guest room.
Brianna: Blind double dates.
Moriah: Blind double dates with imaginary men.
Brianna: And they were always named Marc and Luke.
Moriah: And they were always jerks.
Brianna: Yes, they were. And we'd get mad and slap them and throw cold water in their faces.
Moriah: And look at us now...
Brianna: Single.
Scene 2. Katie, Aunt Joyce, Blaine, Barrett, Brianna and Moriah sit at a table in the middle of Paddy Ryan's Irish Pub, perusing the menu hungrily.
Brianna: I am so sick of pizza. I'll meet up with friends in the evening and what's the cheapest for three people? Pizza. Then I go home and what is for lunch? Pizza.
Aunt Joyce: Sometimes, it's the easiest thing to throw in the oven.
Brianna: And then I will go out with my class and do you know what they order? Pizza! Always pizza. And I'll eat it because it's cheap and I'm hungry, but pizza four times a week is just too--
Waiter: Are you ready to order?
Brianna: I'll take the Meat Lovers Irish Farl.
Waiter: With red or white sauce?
Brianna: What was that?
Katie: He asked if you wanted red sauce or white sauce.
Brianna: Red please.
15 minutes later. The waiter serves the plates of steaming food, setting a pizza in front of Brianna.
Katie: Who ordered pizza?
Brianna: This must be yours Barrett--?
Barrett: No, Mom and I are sharing the Barbeque Pork Boxty.
Everyone is served their food. Brianna stares at her plate unblinkingly.
Brianna: I thought the Irish farl was a sandwich. It said it was on flatbread...
Brianna's shoulders tremble, tears come down, Moriah meets her eyes and they let out an uproarious laugh. The rest of the table joins them.
15 minutes later. They are still laughing, all of Brianna's mascara is on her face.
Very funny. God bless you. :-) Chris
