The waiter grabs another beer brining it to table 24. They send him for more water. He cusses as he walks back and forth He brings them the water the beer is gone. They send him for another. I pour him one. He brings it to the table. But not before asking me if we plan on getting ********* tonight. I tell him: "Yes. It's Amanda's birthday. Everyone is going out." He brings the table another beer. The fat man sitting there laughs. His laugh is curdled with an onset drunkenness. I pour another beer for a different waitress. I am counting the clock. She grabs the beer. And smiles with an honest smile. She is new. Unaware of the distain we all hold tightly. I pour another beer. I count the clock. Until we can get *********
