Jake and Amir: Restaurant Ideas

Intro
Amir

[Shot of Jake sitting on an office couch alone]
[Amir drops in from above and lands on the couch]

Amir: Hey, just thought I'd drop by to see you.

Jake: That's a really bad joke, man.

Amir: Well if you think that was bad, you're gonna love my restaurant ideas.

Jake: Wait, does that mean they're good ideas, or just worse than that joke was? Also, how are you going to open a restaurant? You can't even afford your rent.

Amir: ...probably..?

Jake: That doesn't answer anything I just asked. Look, I don't have time for this. My lunch break is almost over. I don't care if you lie, just please at least try to make sense.


Cut Scene 1.

Amir: So this restaurant would only sell scoops of vanilla ice cream and banana Popsicles.

Jake: That just sounds like an ice cream truck.

Amir: Well it's going to be different! We won't have any bowls and the Popsicles won't have sticks. So you just kind of have to hold everything in your hands.

Jake: That just sounds like a very sad ice cream truck.


2.

Amir: Okay, this will be like a take-out restaurant so customers can just grab their food and go.

Jake: Alright, sounds good so far. What kind of food will you sell?

Amir: Any kind they want. Whatever we can find.

Jake: What does that mean?

Amir: See, our customers will come up and order whatever they want, and then we'll call the real restaurant and have them deliver it to our store. Then they can just go up to the delivery, pay, get their food, and go.

Jake: So no real transactions actually happen in your restaurant?

3.
Amir: This restaurant will combine food and fun.

Jake: Okay..that's a solid start..

Amir: Each table will have one of those claw machines, and the customers will have to keep playing until they're able to grab whatever meal they want out of the machine!

Jake: Stop. Terrible idea. St-

Amir: Also, the meals will only be soup or jell-o. So, sorry if if spills or gets squished, but...no refunds.


4.
(I'm losing inspiration to write dialogue that would mostly be improvised anyway.)

A restaurant whose target market is early-rising meat-heads. It serves cereal with muscle milk from 4 to 6 am.

5.
A soup kitchen. To maximize the amount of food, there will be not only bread bowls, but bread spoons too. Better eat it quickly, though, or else the bread spoons will get soggy.

6.
A normal sandwich shop, but the sandwich special  is two scoops of chocolate ice cream on sourdough bread topped with mustard, pickles, pepperjack cheese, tomatoes, and toasted. Cut with the vegetarian knife as well. 

7.
Have Amir vaguely describe an already-popular food chain. Gets called out.
