  Scene 2 (Flo and Lydia walk over to the Shepherds' table.) Mo, is this crazy rumor true? Are you really going to stop being open all night and do away with the night shift? MO: That's right, Biff. Now that the town is full to the gills for the census, and the night travel has died down, I'm closing her down for the night. TAMMY: But Mo, why? MO: Just not worth it to stay open all night for a few night owls. Nothing ever happens in this sleepy town in the middle of the night. SKIP: But Mo, what will we do then? You know we have to work nights, and this is the only place to eat. MO: No, there's that new place on the south of town. TOMMY: You mean Awful Falafel? That place is … well … awful! Just one more piece of horrible news. Should've seen it coming. FLO: Lydia, meet "Terrible Tommy," the most pessimistic person in the world. Everything is always bad news to Tommy. rP re vi ew O nl y BIFF: I'm not a pessimist, I'm just a realist. FLO: (aside to Lydia) Watch this. (then to Tommy) Hey, I can't believe how good business has been because of the census! Fo TOMMY: TOMMY: Are you kidding me? It's turned the whole city upside down. The streets are crowded, the sheep are stressed out, and anybody who doesn't already have a hotel can just forget it. FLO: (to Lydia) See? LYDIA: Why is there a census again? FLO: Caesar ordered a count of every single person in all of his kingdoms. Everybody has to go back to the city where they were born so we can take a count. MO: So Caesar can take more of my money!
