Crossing Paths – Episode 12: Dirty Martini – Part 1
It’s Tuesday evening. After a long day at work, Helen takes Clara up on her offer to go out for a drink at The Steel Fox, a popular cocktail bar. The place is already buzzing when they walk in.
Waiter: Hello there.
Clara: Hello, table for two?
Waiter: Sure, this way… There’s a table over there in the corner or you can take this one here.
Clara: Great, we’ll take the one in the corner.
Waiter: Cool. I’ll bring the menus in a moment.
Clara: Thanks.
Helen: Wow, a bit crowded.
Clara: Yeah, that’s normal here.
Helen: Do you come here often?
Clara: Just from time to time.
Waiter: Here are the menus.
Clara: Thanks.
Helen: Thank you.
Helen: Hm, I don’t know what I’m having.
Clara: They make an amazing piña colada.
Helen: Let me see.
Clara: Maybe a cosmopolitan?
Helen: Maybe… Actually, I know what I’m having.
Clara: Oh? What?
Helen: I never told you this, but I really love James Bond movies.
Clara: A martini!
Helen: Yep. And believe it or not, I’ve never had one.
Clara: Okay… just please don’t say, “Shaken, not stirred.” I’d have to pretend I don’t know you.
Helen: I promise.
Waiter: Alright, have you decided?
Clara: I’ll have a piña colada.
Helen: A martini for me.
Waiter: Great. Would you like your martini regular or dirty?
Helen: Make it… dirty.
Waiter: Sure thing. I’ll be right back.
Helen: Thank you.
Clara: Thanks.
Clara: Dirty martini?
Helen: I panicked! I have no idea what that means.
Clara: Well, it’s not on the menu, so… I guess we’ll find out soon.
Helen: I guess we will.
