Scene:
Professor Carver and Professor Denver are having lunch. It is their first meeting regarding the status of Meaning.
Ned: Some more wine for you Helen?
Helen: Don't mind if I do.
Ned: (Pours wine for them both ... the remnants of a delicious meal is on the table and a waiter is hovering nearby waiting for the opportunity to clear their dishes and ask if they'd like to see the desert menu. Ned however summons him): More wine please. The waiter clears the dishes and disappears.
Helen: I must say it is rather a luxury to eat here and claim it to department expenses.
Ned: It's the least we can do for ourselves in light of the trouble we've been through justifying having a parrot on our student roll.
Helen: Well if you put it that way ...
They both drink some more ...
