DINER PATRONS AND WORKERS:
Straight back and to the left
Pick up those f*cking eggs
B...ring! B...ring!
We're out of milk
Who took my rye bread?
Four waters to table seven
I'm sorry, we don't deliver on Sunday
I need table three for two, yesterday
Is there a list?
Harrington? Harrington?
Kaplan, K-a-p-l-a-n for seven
JONATHAN
Order
DINER PATRONS AND WORKERS:
No, I'm sorry, those people were here first
We don't have tables for seven
Are we in smoking?
JONATHAN
Tension
MAN
I'll have the salad Nicoise and some honey bread
JONATHAN
Balance
WOMAN
I said, I wanted an omelet with no yolks
That's why you're just a waiter
JONATHAN:
Brunch
Sunday
In the blue, silver chromium diner
On the green, purple, yellow, red stools
Sit the fools
Who should eat at home
Instead, they pay on
ALL
Sunday
JONATHAN:
For a cool orange juice or a bagel
On the soft, green cylindrical stools
Sit the fools
Drinking cinnamon coffee
Or decaffeinated tea
ALL
Forever
In the blue, silver chromium diner
JONATHAN:
Drips the green, orange, violet drool
ALL
From the fools
JONATHAN:
Who'd pay less at home
Drinking coffee
ALL
Light
And dark
MICHAEL:
And cholesterol
And bums
Bums, bums, bums, bums,
Bums, bums, bums, bums,
Bums,
MAN and WOMAN
People screaming for their toast
In a small, SoHo cafe
JONATHAN:
On an island in
JONATHAN, MICHAEL AND SUSAN:
Two Rivers
On an ordinary
Sunday
Sunday
Sunday
Sunday!
MICHAEL:
Brunch!
