Are you guys going to the party?

Then let's meet at the mall tomorrow.

Nice
Sounds tragic.
I wonder how you guys do that.
Hey, Ken.

What's wrong with that?
Oh, Ken ….

Hey.
Hey, yourself.
Say, Winnie, how about eating at Tiffany's?
Breakfast at Tiffany's? Are you kidding? We always eat at the Pancake Parlor.
I just want to eat somewhere else for a change of pace.
What's wrong with pancakes?
Nothing.
Well, go ahead and eat at Tiffany's with Catherine Hepburn.
Audrey.
What was that?
Audrey Hepburn starred in that movie with George Chakiris.
George Peppard, not Chakiris. Chakiris starred in ...
West Side Story.

Why don't you like the Pancake Parlor?

Why are you so upset?
I'm not.
You are too.
Forget it.

Just over a little breakfast at Tiffany's. No, not Tiffany's, it's the Pancake Parlor.
Life goes on.
It certainly does.
Not Tif ....
Hey Ken.
Yes, Katie?
How about changing the ending for a change of pace.
Yeah, let's do that.
What's wrong with the ending that we have now? Well, that's about it for today, so until next time.
Keep listening.
Keep practicing.
And keep on smiling.
Sorry we asked.
You should be.
