BRIAN
"Must have been crowded in there."
JAMES
"Well, they all weren't in there at the same time...three shifts."
BRIAN
"So, what kind of menu did you handle?"
JAMES
"Eggs, any style, bacon, pancakes, sausages, most of it was already made next door at the Pizza Barn...all we had to do was heat it up!"
