Reenie (above) serving at The Main Attraction Café has been listening to the juke-box. What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted. She glances quickly at us. We know what's coming but are powerless to stop it.
"That Jimmy Ruffin" she chimes, "if that Jimmy Ruffin was to ever come in here - I wouldn't serve him no pudding." (Long pause.) "Well. He wouldn't want to be deserted a second time would he?"
She's looking for a bullseye. We deny that she's even on the board. As is our usual custom we stare at our tables. Not - a - twitch.
