Foremost being

"I've had a mile in my life," says the young lady at the bar.

"I've had two," says the young man beside her.

"Two miles or two..?" she asks. Things are raucous. And then: "What do you think of the bartender?"

"He's cute," says the young man.

"Excuse me," she calls out. "Do you have a cigarette?"

The bartender does. She puts it in her mouth, filter-end out, and leans forward for a light. The bartender smiles and fixes it for her.

After he turns away the young man says, "God, you are so obvious."

"But something in my mouth, I get confused," she says.

"You," he replies. "I can see we'll miss Louis as Cher tonight."
