00:06 [HUSBAND and WIFE sit at a restaurant table; WAITRESS stands.] WAITRESS: Sir, I am so sorry for the delay.

00:07 HUSBAND: This is absurd.

00:09 WAITRESS: I'm so sorry.

00:09 HUSBAND: Where is the food?

00:10 WIFE: Honey, it's okay.

00:11 WAITRESS: I just spoke with the kitchen --

00:12 HUSBAND: We haven't got anything on our table but water.

00:13 WAITRESS: -- and they said that your food will be out in just a moment.

00:15 HUSBAND: Look at my wife! She's been drinking four cups of water. How much water could she consume? She's going to tip over or something.

00:18 WAITRESS: I'm so sorry, sir --

00:19 WIFE: Can we just get a bread basket? He'll be fine.

00:19 HUSBAND: Can we get something? Can we get a candle?

00:21 WAITRESS: I'll bring you some bread and some wine. Okay? While you wait for your food? [WAITRESS exits.]

00:22 HUSBAND: Something? It should be on the house, as a matter of fact.

00:26 WIFE: You are disrupting the other tables. This is not necessary.

00:28 HUSBAND: I don't care about [pointing] him, or [pointing] her, or [pointing] those either.

00:33 WIFE: You are being outrageous. Just sit back. Listen to the nice music…

00:36 HUSBAND: I'm going to try. I'm going to try, but I'm not promising anything.

00:38 [MANAGER enters.] MANAGER: Excuse me, sir. You are being very disruptive to the customers around here, and --

00:43 HUSBAND: Your restaurant has been very, very --

00:46 MANAGER: Do we have a problem, sir?

00:50 HUSBAND: Is he serious right here?

00:53 MANAGER: If you continue in this manner, I'll be forced to have to ask you to leave. Both of you.

01:01 [WIFE rolls eyes; HUSBAND sighs.] HUSBAND: We're good.
