 It s almost 4 a.m., and three people are in an all-night diner. Jim (the cook) talks with a customer while a third man drinks coffee a few stools away. The talkative guy feels constricted by his girlfriend, who doesn t understand why he d get up, get dressed, and head for the diner in the middle of the night. As he talks, a woman walks in, and they exchange glances. Will it come to more than that, will he say hi, will she smile in response, will she initiate a conversation? With Jim and the other customer urging the talkative guy to speak to the woman, he screws his courage to the sticking place as the clock ticks.
