Subject: Billy's New Squeeze

“Billy, where are you going?”

“Out.”

“Out? I thought we were having dinner in tonight?”

“I already told Ann I wouldn't be here.”

“You're going out and skipping dinner? Don't lie to me.”

“I'm not, I'm going out to dinner.”

“Alone?”

“Why would I eat alone when I could have the pleasure of your company?”

“You better not all be going out to dinner without me. That'd just be mean!”

“That's not it. I'm sure they'll be here soon. I have to go.” Billy walks out and passes Ann, Sara and Tabitha on the way in.

“Billy's not eating with us.”

“I know, he told me.”

“Well why not? What's he doing?”

“He's eating with Rosemarie.”

“And who is Rosemarie? You guys are all being particularly exasperating!”

“Now you know how we feel most of the time.”

“I'm not exasperating! Who's Rosemarie and why is Billy eating with her instead of us?”

“Rosemarie is his girlfriend, and I imagine he's eating with her because he's hungry and it's dinnertime.”

“Girlfriend? Since when does he have a girlfriend? Why am I always the last one to find out these things?”

“Maybe it's your completely absurd hours. Sometimes it's hard to catch you when we're both awake to tell you anything.”

“And by the time we see you again we've forgotten that you don't know whatever it is that you don't know.”

“Well gee thanks. Have you guys met her?”

“I met her, but only by accident. I ran into them having lunch one day. I'm the only one. He says he'll bring her around sooner or later though.”

“Well I'll have to bug him about it later then. Any other secrets you need to reveal before dinner?”

“The Geico caveman evolved and moved out of their cave and into a tent.”

“That's a big step for them!”

“Dinner will be ready in a little bit, and Scott should be home by then. Sound good?”

“Definitely, I'm starving! So this Rosemarie girl, she hot?”

Sara rolls her eyes and ignores Frank.
