The premise

Here’s the bit.

Wendell Sanders phones Mario's Pizza and orders pie after pie with pineapple and cheesy crust, pausing to poll a roomful of party guests who turn out to be the fantasy figurines arranged around him in his dim living room. When he mentions that a guest named Claire approved of the crust, clerk Carlos grows curious about her. Wendell tries to put him off with crude boasts about Claire, his own conquests and an imaginary perfect girlfriend, but Carlos answers with a sincere speech about destiny and their shared moment over the crust. Cornered, Wendell abruptly claims Claire has been shot through the window, leaving Carlos screaming in anguish while Wendell calmly decides to order Chinese food instead.

    Wendell Sanders

    Good question. I'll gauge the room. Hey, guys, do we want Cheesy Crust on the third? Okay, yeesh. That is a resounding yes for Cheesy Crust on the third. Claire says you read her mind.

    Claire, huh? I like that name.

  12. 01:16

    Wendell Sanders

    It's a good one. Oh, also, my boy Andy over here is saying you have something called chicken poppers?

  13. 01:23

    Carlos

    Is she cute?

  14. 01:24

    Wendell Sanders

    Uh, who's that and what now?

  15. 01:25

    Carlos

    Claire.

  16. 01:26

    Wendell Sanders

    Oh. Her body's like a fork. Anyway, we would also...

  17. 01:33

    Carlos

    I-I... you mean?

  18. 01:38

    Wendell Sanders

    Let's just say she's kind of a big girl.

  19. 01:40

    Carlos

    That's all good. That's all superficial, man. I like Claire for what's inside.

  20. 01:44

    Wendell Sanders

    Don't even know Claire.

  21. 01:45

    Carlos

    Yo, but for real, though, I feel like I do know Claire, man. Put me on the phone with her.

  22. 01:52

    Wendell Sanders

    Uh... You don't need to speak to Claire.

  23. 01:56

    Carlos

    No, I do.

  24. 02:00

    Wendell Sanders

    You know what? I got a level with you, man. I... her.

  25. 02:06

    Carlos

    Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get in between you guys.

  26. 02:11

    Wendell Sanders

    No, it's quite all right. It was a while ago before she blimped up. My current girlfriends live, body tan, face tan. But anyway, Claire, yeah, I hit that sexually. And as did my boy Hugo. Hell, even Bubba got some of that. So, just wanted you to know, used goods, used goods.

  27. 02:41

    Carlos

    So you wouldn't care if I asked her out?

  28. 02:45

    Wendell Sanders

    Well, let me do it for you. Hey, Claire, this guy from the pizza place wants to date you too, poor. All right, I'll let him down easy.

  29. 02:52

    Carlos

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no. Tell her that, no, I'm not a rich man, but I'm a good man. Tell her,

  30. 03:02

    Carlos

    Claire, I believe in destiny. And I believe that we've always known that our soulmate was out there the moment that we had that unspoken connection about the cheesy crust I Realized that you were always the one because
