Meanwhile, in the kitchen...
Line Cook: Oh, shit--
Nat: Everything okay over there?
Line Cook: Yes, chef. It’s just -- table forty-two ordered the fish, but with parsley sauce, and I put the mint on anyway--
Nat: Table forty-two?
Line Cook: That’s what the ticket said.
Nat: Hm.
Waitress: Are you kids ready to order?
Wisteria: I think we’re ready... I’ll take the chicken?
Ari: Caesar salad.
Abricotier: Could I have the poisson du jour, haricots verts, and... would it be possible to change the mint sauce to parsley?
Waitress: The chef doesn’t like to take special requests.
Abricotier: We are friends of, um, Mr. Adams? He said the service has gone downhill, but we did not expect this--
Waitress: ...I will ask the chef.
Abricotier: Merci.
Until next time, Amaranth
Wisteria: What are you always writing in that diary of yours?
Amaranth: It’s a journal, and it’s private.
Wisteria: My mistake. [yawn] I think I’m going to bed. Goss said I have to be up early for something tomorrow... Isn’t it about your bedtime, too?
Amaranth: Nope--
Apple Blossom [off]: Amaranth! Have you brushed your teeth? It’s almost bedtime--
Amaranth: ...never mind. Guess I’m going to bed, too. Night, Wisteria.
Wisteria: Good night.
Server: ...your meals--
Wisteria: Thank you!
Server: Is there anything else I can get you at the moment?
Abricotier: At the moment... no, I think we have everything we need.
Server: Excellent. The chef will be out shortly.
Abricotier: Pardon ? The chef will be out--?
Server: Shortly, yes. He wanted to see how you enjoyed your fish with the parsley sauce. Bon appétit--
Ari: This is... not what I expected.
Wisteria: It isn’t?
Ari: I expected something... fishier?
Wisteria: Oh -- sorry to disappoint.
Ari: No, no, I prefer this. Fishy is... not good.
Wisteria: Oh -- I’m sorry -- we could have gone somewhere else--
Abricotier: C’est pas grave. I can find something.
Ari: Will Monsieur Crescendo find lunch somewhere else?
Wisteria: I guess so. I think I heard Mr. Maguire saying they were going to go grab sushi and some drinks and talk about... whatever things painters talk about. Oils and watercolors I guess.
Abricotier: You said your mother worked at the museum. Do you really have no interest in the arts?
Wisteria: Not in painting. More of a writer.
Ari: Is that what you’re always doing on your computer? Writing?
Wisteria: No, I don’t think so...
Fugue: You’ve got to be one of Adina’s girls. Adina Lilac? You look just like her.
Wisteria: Oh -- really? Everyone always said Ya-Ya was the one that looked like Mom.
Fugue: Well, you definitely can’t deny she was your mom. God, you look just like her--
Gossamer: You knew Adina?
Fugue: Briefly. We lost touch years ago, but... yeah, I knew her. Ran into her every now and then here at the museum, but -- sorry -- where are my manners? Fugue Adams. I’m... the money, basically.
Wisteria: I’m Wisteria. And this is -- um, my dad, Gossamer Crescendo. And Abri and Ari are exchange students staying with us for the year.
Fugue: It’s great to meet all of you.
