The premise

Here’s the bit.

Roger and Samuel, a pair of bespectacled friends in matching windbreakers, slide into a diner booth and immediately start swooning over their waitress, Loretta. Each insists the other order first, then both clumsily try to impress her, offering to treat her to pancakes "on the house" until she points out what that would actually mean. When the pancakes arrive, their rivalry turns into a frantic eating contest that buries the table under a mountain of stacks, and Roger passes out face-down in the pile. While he sleeps, Samuel seizes the moment and proposes to Loretta, who flatly refuses; Roger wakes up furious that his friend cut in during his pancake nap, and after a sheepish apology the two settle the check and try to part with Loretta on good terms.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

And on the house would mean we would be paying for it.

These were the best pancakes I've ever had in my whole ding-dong life.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stabbed you with my butter knife.
