We finally get to see Caroline and Kris interact with one another
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXT. STRIP MALL PARKING LOT - DUSK
Caroline sits in her truck reading text messages from Adonis. She doesn't respond to them. As she sits, the Sous Chef waves as he dumps the restaurant garbage. Caroline lowers her window to speak.
Hi Boss lady! I'm good and you?
Stop calling me that! Kris is your boss.
But you are the other half, so you will always be Boss Lady to me.
Caroline laughs and closes her window. She opens the truck door, grabs her purse and strolls toward Chuck.
We were wondering when you were coming inside.
Kris opens the back door of the restaurant and smiles at Caroline.
Yes, we! I stalk you sometimes. That's how I got you to marry me.
The three of them laugh loudly.
INT. RESTAURANT KITCHEN - Dusk
Caroline, Chuck and Kris walk into the kitchen. There are several people bustling through the kitchen. Some are plating food, others are calling out orders, and others are cooking. Caroline steps carefully through the people and heads toward the restaurant office. She opens the door and tosses her purse in the chair. She closes the door and heads back toward the loud kitchen area.
Buttercup, did you want a table?
No, I can sit at the bar and eat. I think I need a drink anyway.
Caroline pauses to phrase her response correctly.
It wasn't bad, but it was very shocking.
Yeah...that's the right word. Couple today has some serious trust issues.
Caroline and Kris walk toward the kitchen exit into the dining room area.
INt. Restaurant Dining Room - night
Caroline and Kris walk to the corner seat at the bar. As Caroline sits at the bar, Kris goes behind the bar and prepares a drink for her. He places the full martini glass in front of her and leans over the bar.
Dirty Martini for my Buttercup.
Caroline looks down at her drink and smiles.
The food smells so good and now my stomach is growling.
I am not greedy, I'm just hungry.
Your food will be here soon. But tell me about this crazy day.
Caroline takes another sip.
Well a new couple comes in today and they are having trust issues, but my intern tells me after they leave that she is a porn star.
Caroline laughs and holds her index finger to her mouth.
Yes baby. I was just so confused by the whole situation.
Is it someone I would know?
Caroline looks at Kris and furrows her brow.
So you've been watching porn?
Caroline and Kris laugh together.
No, seriously her name didn't sound familiar. But Madison knew who she was with her clothes on.
Let's look her up on your phone.
How about you go get my lamb shanks and we do that later?
