Scene 4
Ted gestures to the waiter. The waiter comes.
Ted: May I have the bill, please?
Meg: Let’s go Dutch this time.
Ted: No. We made a deal.
You are my guest this time.
Next time we’ll go Dutch.
Meg: But, Ted …
Waiter (smiling): Actually … you don’t need the bill.
Ted & Meg: Why?
Waiter: Well, the lady is our restaurant’s thousandth customer,
so your meals are on the house!
Meg: What a surprise!
Ted: With this kind of luck, we should buy some lottery tickets on our way home.
