DINING OUT

January 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Dining Out:

  • The hero and heroine in love always get a great table in a restaurant, even in New York City at lunch on Saturday (When Harry Met Sally).
  • Characters only return their food for comedic reasons OR to establish that the character is an asshole
  • Only three types of women work in Diners:
    • The cold, no nonsense taking, overweight, middle aged, seen it all woman. She will either be a dirty-blonde white woman OR black
    • The kindly, matronly type.
    • The sweet, young, pretty, working mother with the perfect figure. She usually has some ‘hobby’ that will become her real job once some man rescues her or teaches her a lesson by breaking her heart.
