WALEED:

Are there any more cookies?

 

 

 

CARA:

Yes, there are. Didn't you have any breakfast, Waleed?

 

 

 

WALEED:

No. I don't eat breakfast at home.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

Why not?

 

 

 

WALEED:

Breakfast is better in a restaurant. But I didn't have time to eat this morning.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

Howard, do you think food is better at home or in a restaurant?

 

 

 

HOWARD:

At home.

 

 

 

LEE:

Martin, is this your briefcase?

 

 

 

MARTIN:

No, that's Howard's. That's newer than mine. My briefcase is very old.

 

 

 

LEE:

It's newer than mine!

 

 

 

CARA:

I think I have the oldest briefcase in the office. It was my father's.

 

 

 

WALEED:

Are we arguing about briefcases? Let's argue about cities again. I like the cities in the East.

 

 

 

CARA:

Why?

 

 

 

WALEED:

They're older. I don't like the newer cities in the West. Boston is nice.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

It's like a European city, isn't it?

 

 

 

WALEED:

And it isn't as big as New York.

 

 

 

LEE:

Have you been to New Orleans, Waleed? You might like that. Some parts of New Orleans are very old.

 

 

 

WALEED:

Is it the oldest city in the South?

 

 

 

LEE:

I don't know that. No, I don't think so. But it's very old.

 

 

 

CARA:

And you like food. The food is wonderful there.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

It's some of the best food in America.

 

 

 

HOWARD:

I don't like the food very much. I don't think it's that good.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

I disagree. It's the best.

 

 

 

HOWARD:

It's too hot.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

Texas food is hotter.

 

 

 

HOWARD:

Texas food is also too hot.

 

 

 

LEE:

You don't like hot food, I guess.

 

 

 

HOWARD:

Hot food is bad food.

 

 

 

CAST:

Oh, no. How can you say that? What's the matter with you? What about Thai food? etc...

 

 

 

HOWARD:

The worst food is the hottest food.

 

 

 

CARA:

Martin, what is the worst food?

 

 

 

MARTIN:

I think the worst food is greasy food.

 

 

 

CARA:

Waleed, what is the worst food?

 

 

 

WALEED:

The food I cook is bad.

 

 

 

CARA:

I think mine is worse. My mother wasn't a very good cook. My father was better. He taught me some things, but he was always better.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

Do you cook, Howard?

 

 

 

HOWARD:

I'm a good cook. I cook everything but hot food.

 

 

 

WALEED:

Who made the cookies?

 

 

 

CARA:

I did.

 

 

 

WALEED:

They're very good.

 

 

 

CARA:

Thanks. I can make better cookies than my mother.

 

 

 

MARTIN:

The cookies are finished. Should we get back to work?
