Some days won’t end ever and some days pass on by
Paradise: (at the Booty Burger, adjusts her hat as she rolls up to the order window)
Fawn: (as Paradise rolls past the table where she’s sitting with friends) Nice hat.
Paradise: (smiles at the sarcasm in Fawn’s tone) Thanks. Nice weave.
Fawn: (glares) I don’t HAVE a WEAVE.
Paradise: My bad. (hands off the order to the guy at the window)
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: I’m supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won’t – Workin’ for a livin’
Lawrence "Manny" Lemans: (owner of Booty Burger, spots Paradise at the order window) Hey, New Girl Number Two!
Paradise: Mr. Lemans, my name is, Paradise.
Manny: My name’s, Manny, but you don’t call me that, and I don’t call you, Paradise, until you’re definitely hired. You ain’t definitely hired yet. Go take care of DU5.
Paradise: (pushing away from the window) You know, you’re not saving syllables when you say, DU.
Manny: I’m not saying it to save syllables. I’m saying it ’cause it sounds cool.
Paradise: (shakes her head as she roller skates across the lot, toward stall 5, stopping when she sees who it is) You’ve got to be kidding.
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: Hey I’m not complainin’ ’cause I really need the work
Alex: (is sitting at the wheel of her car while Amber, Holly, and Stacy are standing)
Amber/Holly/Stacy: Woo hoo! Training Day!
Paradise: No way. (turns to go)
Amber: Can’t do that!
Stacy: Gotta play by the rules!
Paradise: (turns with a sigh) Rules?
Amber: (smirking) It’s Training Day. You know the drill.
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: I’m takin’ what they’re givin’ ’cause I’m workin’ for a livin
Paradise: (sighs) I’ve only been on the other side of it.
Alex: Waitress?
Paradise: I’m a carhop.
Alex: A lateral move, at best.
Stacy: (demands) Where’s my menu?
Paradise: (points at the large display beside the car)
Stacy: Oh.
Amber: I’d like a cherry Big Suck. (referring to the slushy type and size)
Holly: Cola Double Suck!
Stacy: Fries and a raspberry Super Suck!
Alex: Cola Basic Suck for me. (smiling)
Paradise: (after jotting their order) How long did it take for you to plan this?
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: Walkin’ on the streets it’s really all the same – Sellin’ souls, rock ‘n’ roll, any other day
Amber/Holly/Stacy: (chanting) Suck! Suck! Suck!
Paradise: (shakes her head and rolls back to the order window, handing off the order, still hearing the chant, and others have taken it up, then she rolls back with their order, hooking it on the side of the vehicle)
Alex: I have to say, the service here is a little slow.
Paradise: (to Amber) This was your idea, wasn’t it?
Amber: Pleading the Fifth.
Paradise: You know that doesn’t make you look innocent, Cohen.
Amber: (sticks out her tongue at her friend)
Stacy: There aren’t any trans fats in these fries, are there? I’m watching my figure.
Paradise: You’re a stick figure, so what do you care?
Holly: Hey, she’s a customer. You can’t talk to her that way.
Stacy: (with faux indignation) I demand to see your manager!
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: Workin’ for a livin’ – (Workin’) – Workin’ for a livin’
Paradise: (sighs) Okay, I’m sorry. Did you guys want anything else? I’m sure there are a lot more people I know coming to torture me.
Amber: I think we’re good, for now.
Paradise: Great. (hands the bill to Amber) Please follow the Treasure Trail around the building and pay at the window. (she points as she says this)
Alex: Are you this grumpy with all of your customers?
Paradise: Only the ones who chant "suck" at me.
Amber/Holly/Stacy: (look at each other, break into grins, and chant) Suck! Suck! Suck!
Paradise: (shakes her head and wheels back from the car as Alex maneuvers along the exit toward the barrier arm that looked like a fallen coconut tree which only raised after the cashier at the window was paid)
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: Workin’ for a livin’, livin’ and workin’ – I’m takin’ what they’re givin’ ’cause I’m workin’ for a livin’
Manny: Hey! New Girl Two! You got somebody in DU1!
Paradise: Of course I do. (as she rolls along) It’s probably the drama class. (stops beside a nondescript sedan with tinted windows) Hello? May I take your order? (the window rolls down, revealing Tyler Griffin) Oh!
Tyler: Oh, hello again.
Paradise: (loses her balance on the skates and falls on her backside)
Huey Lewis And the News on the Oldies station: I’m takin’ what they’re givin’ ’cause I’m workin’ for a livin’ – Workin’ for a livin’, livin’ and workin’
