Scott: But everyone else has to! Same again, honey?

Ashley: No, thanks. I'll just have a mineral water.

Man: Hello, I haven't seen you before.

Ashley: That's because I don't work here. My husband does.

Man: Oh, what's his name?

Ashley: Scott. Scott Morton. Do you know him?

Man: No, I don't work here either — my girlfriend does. I

suppose she knows him.

Ashley: Where is she?

talking to that funny-looking man with the beard and

glasses. I wonder who he is.
