Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:19 Explanations: 3:32 Fast dialogue: 14:27 Spencer: I’m practicing making drinks for the party tonight. Do you want to try one? Heidi: You’re the bartender? I didn’t know you knew how to mix drinks. Spencer: I can hold my own. Okay, name it and I’ll make it – any mixed drink or cocktail. Heidi: Okay, I’ll have a Screwdriver. Spencer: A Screwdriver? Hmm...what’s in that? Heidi: Aren’t you supposed to know, Mr. Bartender? Spencer: I’ve never made one of those before, that’s all. Try something else. Heidi: How about a Bloody Mary? Spencer: A Bloody Mary, a Bloody Mary...do you want that on the rocks? Heidi: Sure, that’ll be great. Spencer: Here you are – a Bloody Mary in a highball. Enjoy! Heidi: [Makes a gagging sound] This doesn’t taste like a Bloody Mary. It tastes like you poured an entire bottle of alcohol into this. Spencer: Oh, come on. It’s not that bad. Here, I’ll add a little soda, and oh, I forgot the garnish. Heidi: I don’t think that’s going to help. Can I give you some advice? Stick to shots and drinks served straight up. Spencer: Ah, don’t lose faith in me. Let me make you one more drink. Heidi: Okay, but make it virgin. My mouth is still on fire from the last one. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
