"How long should we stay?"
"Why…. is that the first question people always ask?"
"Here's your Menu's. Let me know if you need anything on the side."
"Extra Ketchup, Mustard, dipping sauce, and jelly for toast."
"Hun, you haven't even ordered toast."
"I know, but those are the top things people ask for, and if they don't get them, the biggest reasons for complaints, from us."
"Well then, Kids; order something big."
"You think that's a good idea?"
"Will do, Mrs. Heartchild.
I'll have the….."
"Wait…...I said big, not expensive."
".....Nevermind then.
We're not ready."
"Please, take your time. I'll be over by the salad booth, replacing containers if you need me."
"Thanks."
"Can I help?"
"Ummm….."
"If it's only okay with your parents."
"Very sorry for this. They're at the stage where everything excites them and they can't stand not doing nothing while someone else is doing something."
"No need to say sorry.
Now, who wants to see how a Kitchen truly operates?"
"I do."
"I do."
"I do."
"Okay. Follow me this way, and I'll help you put your gloves on."
"When we were cooking with Ruby, we didn't have to wear gloves, so why now when we're not."
"I'm sure you Kids were the only ones eating it."
"So?"
"Would you want to eat someone elses hand?"
"I wouldn't mi….*Ooof*.
No. No I wouldn't."
"That's why everybody here wears gloves."
"The rest of you, you didn't want to go see how a Kitchen works?"
*Grrrrrrrr*
"...I'd rather see how my tummy works, first."
"Told you that Candy would come back to bite you. Drink up. It'll wash down the sugar, and help break it up.
Now, Breakfast....or Lunch?"
"Do they run Breakfast all day?"
"But it's so close to Lunch. Why do you want.....yes. I believe they do.
Menu's on the back."
"Back? But I thought…"
"Sorry, second to back. No alcohol for you."
"But mom!!!!!!!"
"Rules are rules."
"We never had rules growing up.
Even before Fighter."
"That's because your parents may have given you rules, but they were never around long enough to enforce them.
That stops today."
"Remember what you said?"
"Never quit till we get what we want? If not, then why try?"
'As long as we're under your roof, we will act like a Heartchild,'
"For we are….?"
"'Heartchilds.'"
"Good. Now, what's for lunch.....I mean, breakfast?"
"I'll have the Farmers omelet, with doube stuffed French toast, and…..ummm...a side of cereal."
"Sorry to disappoint, but this is a restaurant, not an extended house."
"So no Cereal?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Minus a star."
"You haven't even tasted the others."
"Minus a star!!!!!"
"...Okay then.
What about you all?"
"Big bear omelete."
"Taco Bowl."
"Omelete."
"Omelete."
"Omelete."
"Pancakes….."
"?"
"With...blueberries?"
"Now you're talking.
I'll have the big bear BLT sandwich, and..."
"I'll have the Reuben. Thank you."
"All right. Check, check, and check.
I'll get those out for you soon as possible."
