<< EXT. MOVIE THEATRE : NIGHT>><\/p>\n

BW, SB and MHG are meandering toward their cars in the busy parking lot.<\/p>\n

BW: Should we get something to eat?
\nSB: Yup.
\nMHG: Sure.
\nBW: What’s around here, anyway, besides Crapplebee’s?
\nMHG: (chuckles)
\nSB: Not a fan of Applebee’s, are we?
\nBW: No, I am, actually. Crapplebee’s just fits so well. It just works, yknow? It doesn’t work to say “Bad-asslebee’s” or “Totally-sweetlebee’s.”<\/p>\n

Characters ad-lib in Seinfeld-esque discussion of possibility of opening Applebee’s chain featuring only items they like, and changing the name to “Totally-sweetlebee’s.”<\/p>\n
