Rick: (sitting down on barstool) How's business tonight Pierre?
Pierre: (from behind the bar) Very good, Monsieur Rick. Everybody is in such a great mood.
Rick: (taking a drink) Yes. This war has been very good for business.
Pierre: (making lots of noise with some things he is cleaning) Ah yes, ah yes. Someday it will end. Soon I hope.
Rick: (furious, spilling his drink) What are you doing? What is that dildo? I told you that I never want to see that kind again. She used it to... What are you doing with one behind the bar anyway?
Pierre: (looking a little guilty but also a little pleased with himself) Oh, what waaaaas I thinking. You still miss her, eh Monsieur Rick? Tch tch. Forget her Rick. It was so long ago. You are both better off you know.
Ugarte: (coming up to the bar, absent-mindedly whistling a tune) A gin fizz, if you please Pierre. Hello Rick, you are looking a bit ... red under the collar just now.
Rick: (trying to regain but then losing his temper again) Hi U.. What is that you are whistling!?! Why I oughta...
Ugarte: (winking at Pierre) Oh so sorry Rick. So terribly sorry. Was I whistling that tune again? But Rick, there are so many wonderful girls. Forget her, let's have some fun tonight. And besides, she couldn't even pick her favorite tune to play. Your memory is of something off of some approved playlist. Something that she knew wouldn't get her lovely behind sued.
Rick: You two will never understand. We were in Paris together and ...
Pierre: (putting away the dildo) And then you found out that she was married. She found out that you were using shoe polish on your hair. Rick please, we all know the story. Now, turn around, and pull yourself out of your glass for a bit. There is a fine red head checking you out this very moment.
Ugarte: (nudging him) Yes... Here Rick. In the same room with you. What do you say Rick?
Rick: Yes I see. You know it could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
