Max:" Mr. Mokrani?"

Mokrani:" Yes."

Max:" How are you?"

Mokrani:" Not great."

Max:" Yeah, let's have a look. Does that hurt right there?"

Mokrani:" Yeah."

Max:" Fell during a show?"

Mokrani:" No. At the after-party."

Max:" Ah."

Mokrani:" I challenged another dancer to a foeutte competition. I can fouette in my sleep but in my sleep im neither wasted nor on a pool table."

Georgia:" Oh,please. I was just as drunk and on-a-pool-table as you were."

Mokrani:" Know that you did not out-dance me."

Georgia:" Basem, I out-danced you so bad, you're in a hospital."

Max:" Yeah, well, I don't know if he fell off a table."

Georgia:' Yeah, but i didn't. So, I out-danced him."

Max:" Dancing is the art of not falling?"

Georgia:" I'm sorry, who are you?"

Max:" Uh, yeah, i'm just a guy challenging you to a fouette rematch. Don't worry, I took dance all through... uh never."

Mokrani:" Hello?"

Max:" Yeah."

Georga:" Don't you have some medicine to practice?"

Max:" Uh,so, you have a dislocated elbow. Go ahead and take this pen with your left hand. Now, grab it tight. Hang on."

Mokrani:" Ow! Oh!"

Max:" Okay?"

Mokrani:" Yeah"

Max:" Yeah, good. Okay, he's okay. I was thinking loser buys dinner."

Georgia:" Really?"

Max:" I mean yeah. I'm not scared if you're not scared."

Georgia then spins.

Max:" Looks good. Looks pretty--pretty good."

Georgia:" Okay, you go."

Max:" My turn?"

georgia:" Yep."

Max:" This is embarrassing, because I actually thought fouette was a french desert, so I didn't know that is was that spinny thing. That was way better than what I thought it was. You're gona go ahead and ice that elbow and you will be fine. Are you coming?"

Georgia:" Um.. it's 2:00 in the morning."

Max:" Yeah, but I gotta be back here in three hours anyway and full disclosure, i can't afford a real restaurant, so we were just headed to the cafeteria regardless, but the jell-O is phenomenal. You in?"
