Drive-In

Bret, Erin, Grant, and Erin's parents arrive at the Mug 'n Bun Drive-In in search of dessert foods and root beer.

A sign on the side of the building announces a new menu item, Edie's Dibs (chocolate, mint, or crunch) for $2.00.

Said occupants of Big Whitey inspect Mug 'n Bun menu looking for dessert items.

Shakes, sundaes, and malts (does anyone under 55 really know what a malt is?) are the offerings.

Mother-in-law: What are Edie's Dibs?
Others: They're little ice cream balls.
Mother-in-law: Balls?
Others: Yes. Ice cream balls covered in chocolate.
Mother-in-law: Crunchy chocolate?
Others: Yes, if you order crunch.
Mother-in-law: But I thought they were chocolate?
Others: They are. They're crunchy chocolate ice cream balls.
Mother-in-law: Then what are the chocolate ones?
Others: Crunch-less chocolate covered ice cream balls?

Waitress arrives to take order. She senses confusion.

Waitress: Do you folks know what you'd like?
Me: I'll have a large chocolate shake.
Father-in-law: I'll have a small strawberry shake.
Erin: I'll have some root beer, please.

(Mother-in-law thoroughly inspects the ice cream cone-less menu)

Mother-in-law: Do you have cones?
Waitress: No cones, mam. We have Edie's Dibs.
Mother-in-law: What are those?
Waitress: Little ice cream balls.
Mother-in-law (somewhat inaudible due to laughter in van): I'll have the crunch ball.
Waitress: It's actually many little ice cream balls.

(Laughter in van escalates.)

Mother-in-law: Ok, I'll have the crunchy balls.

Waitress leaves, shaking her head for various reasons.
