(Flo begins in the dark, yelling.)
FLO:
THREE JAVAS! UNLEADED! WHISPER IN THEIR EARS

(Flo, a bold, brassy, but very kind waitress, who is dressed as a
central-casting diner waitress, walks briskly across the stage,
writing the order on her note pad. She is followed by Lydia, a new
waitress on her first night, who is frantically trying to keep up.)
I'm sorry Flo, what did you just say?
FLO:
(with only slight impatience) "Javas" are coffees, "unleaded"
means decaf, "whisper in their ears" is sweet talk … you know,
"with sugar."
LYDIA:
Oh, there's so much to remember! And what is "keep the cows
in the barn"?
FLO:
It means "no cream."
LYDIA:
How will I ever remember everything?!

Stick with me, honey, and you'll pick it up in no time. (with a
flourish) It's another great night shift at the Falafel House!

(A customer walks in to the restaurant. Flo sees them and walks
briskly over to seat them with Lydia trying to keep up.)
BEN:
Is this the Falafel House? I just heard your jingle.
