THE WAITER

Or, sir, perhaps you’re craving a Root Vegetable of some sort?

NICK

My mother told me that certain vegetables… hated each other.

Radishes fucking can’t stand carrots for example.

Or other radishes for that matter.

They’re competitors.
They literally compete.
For the same dip.
Think about it.
Humus.
Think about it.
Shit, Babaganoush?
This is most common with... Root Vegetables.
...Just hiding in the fucking ground all year.

A long.................................. uncomfortable beat.

THE WAITER backs away, cradling the water pitcher.
