09:咖啡變全餐

001452

You said you were going to the Valley.
I'm going into Hollywood.
Okay.
Okay, what ?
Okay, Hollywood's fine with me.
Say, I got a great idea.
Why don't we stop at a coffee shop?
We can continue talking.
You know, I really like talking with you.
You certainly know how to shovel it, don't you?
Huh ?
You're broke, right?
And you want some coffee, right?
Only coffee turns out to be a full-course meal.
And the great conversationalist over here, that's me, winds up/picking up the tab.
Then if things go according to plan, and you butter me up, I'm supposed to lay a few bucks on you to see you through the day.
Wow, if you haven't got the most suspicious, rancid mind.
Oh, I know, and I hate myself for it.
Tell me, uh, does that routine usually work?
Nine times out of ten.
