REAGAN, SAM, ADAM, LINCOLN, MADISON, and LORENZO follow CHASE to a nearby restaurant inside Primitives Park.
CHASESee for yourselves. Lennie's Tavern.
MADISON
Chase...what are we looking at?
CHASE
I know. It's incomprehensible.
LINCOLN
No, really. What are we looking at?
LORENZO
What I see here is an empty restaurant.
CHASE
But why does it look like it's never been cleaned?
SAM
Probably hasn't.
LORENZO
You'd be surprised how quickly restaurants can get dirty.
CHASE
Not this dirty.
LORENZO
I think they're doing an excellent job.
CHASE
You can't really think that.
LORENZO nods his head up and down.
ADAM
I'll answer for Lorenzo, he's assuming this place is bugged with cameras so he's just gonna pretend like he likes it.
LORENZO
Who said I'm assuming?
ADAM
Do you know something we don't?
LORENZO
I know we shouldn't be in here.
CHASE
Something's not right with this place.
SAM
Why don't you come back when there's a game, place an order, and see how everything goes then? It probably just looks disgusting because they haven't fully cleaned up from the last game yet.
LORENZO
Oh this isn't an "order your food" type of place.
CHASE
I can't order my food?
LORENZO
They kind of just...give you what they have. Sometimes it's chicken wings, usually it's pork.
REAGAN
You've tried it?
LORENZO
Not long ago.
REAGAN
What were the people working there like? Were they friendly?
LORENZO
The workers were friendly. I wouldn't quite call them "people" though.
MADISON
Lorenzo!
LINCOLN
You know, just because you never served Santa Fe as a state representative, doesn't make them any less of human beings.
SAM
You really need to drop that mindset if you want to stay in business.
ADAM
I think all workers are people, but that's just me. There wouldn't be any restaurants without the workers.
LORENZO
But these workers literally are not people.
MADISON
That's it, I'm done. Lorenzo, it was nice knowing you, but I'm deeply disappointed in you.
REAGAN
Yeah, what got into you?
LORENZO
Is there another way to explain this?
LINCOLN
Oh, you better start explaining yourself buddy.
LORENZO
They're robots.
MADISON
Like...actual robots? Or are you degrading the workers?
LORENZO
Actual robots, guys.
MADISON
Let me look up Lennie's Tavern real quick.
MADISON does a quick search on the internet for Lennie's Tavern.
MADISON
They've been around since 1974 and pride themselves on providing customers with face-to-face authentic relationships.
CHASE
Not this location.
ADAM
So Primitives Park is diluting Lennie's Tavern the same way they are Lorenzo's Kitchen.
LINCOLN
They can't be the only two.
LORENZO
Think there's more?
LINCOLN
I'd wager it's every restaurant in this whole damn ballpark.
