BRIDGET He’s invited me to dinner tonight, because he wants to – talk to me about a NEW JOB!
HECTOR Who is Howard?
ANNIE Bridget’s boss.
BRIDGET Ah, he is so rich, he’s so clever and he wants to see me!! He might offer me a promotion! What shall I wear? I have nothing to wear! No, wrong!
NICK Huh!
BRIDGET So last season.
NICK Bet Howard can’t ride a motorbike.
BRIDGET Nope!
ANNIE … He does give Bridget promotion, although I have heard – Howard has a nickname!
BRIDGET What was I thinking?!
NICK What?
ANNIE [whispers] An octopus!
NICK An octopus?!
HECTOR Oh, the octo-pus!
NICK Is he meeting her alone?
ANNIE Yes. No, no! Bridget needs help!
HECTOR We must stop her!
NICK I have an idea. Why don’t you eat here?
BRIDGET No!
ANNIE Yes, then we can both talk to your boss about your new job!
BRIDGET Where, here? No, no way.
NICK I could cook for you!
BRIDGET Huh! Definitely not, no!
HECTOR And I could be your waiter!
BRIDGET Mmm.
HECTOR I want to be your waiter.
BRIDGET Yeah, OK then, but be serious!
NICK But don’t worry, we will help you get your promotion. Leave it to us!
ANNIE [composing email] ‘Nadia. Hector wants a job.’
HECTOR I am going – to look for a job.
ANNIE ‘But it’s difficult. What can he do? He can’t work in a launderette and he can’t work as a gardener.’ ANNIE My plant!
BRIDGET Hmm. [Composing email] ‘He can’t work as a cook, but then we saw the job for Hector, a waiter.’
HECTOR A waiter?
NICK Yeah you know. [Whistles] [Composing email] ‘And Bridget’s boss, Howard wants to take her out to dinner tonight. I wonder why?’ NICK OK, Hector, you are the waiter, so you must set the table.
HECTOR Yes, I have set the table, but there is one problem.
NICK A problem?
HECTOR The table is too small.
NICK The table is too small?
HECTOR Yes, look.
NICK Hector, this is set for twelve courses!
HECTOR Dinner at home is always like this.
NICK Oh yes! You are a million… [whispers] You are a millionaire. This is just a little dinner for Bridget’s boss – OK?
HECTOR OK.
NICK OK. I am a customer!
HECTOR Where would you like to sit?
NICK Hmm. Here. [Clears throat]
HECTOR Oh, I … … … The bill.
NICK Not yet! The menu first!
HECTOR Oh, sorry, erm … [clears throat] The menu.
NICK Forget the menu. What have you got today?
HECTOR To eat?
NICK To eat.
HECTOR Today, as dish of the day, I have a delicious hot cat.
NICK A hot cat?! That’s a hot dog.
HECTOR Ah! Hot cat, hot dog! [Laughs] … Cat, hot … [Laughs]
NICK Oh no!
ANNIE Oh, how’s it going?
HECTOR Great! Nick is a good teacher.
