WAITER: ALLO sir.

MAN #2: I'm starting to think this isn't a RESTAURANT so much as a performance-art installation intended to give you the ORDERING EXPERIENCE.

MAN #1: I guess that would explain the giant, pulsating strawberry slowly drinking from a steaming mug of gasoline.
MAN #2: Also the Kraftwerk.
[[There is indeed a woman with a giant strawberry for a head, sitting at the next table with a steaming cup before her.]]
