Script: 

Lilly: Sorry I'm late.

Paul Cooper: Thanks for joining me. Figured, as long as I was going to be in Philly...

Lilly: Well... I can't pass up Chinese.

Paul Cooper: Remember this place? Brought you here when you were a kid. Used to have an aquarium by the door.

Lilly: Oh, with the angelfish. Christmas. We would come here at Christmastime.

Paul Cooper: Red lanterns, close as we were going to get to decorations. Still love the holidays.

Lilly: Yeah. Sure. You know, she didn't mess it all up. One year, I was six, well, we skipped the Chinese, but not the gin, and... and I helped her walk home, and she was so... sad. Said we didn't have any money for presents, but when we got home, there was this bike on the steps. It was a red Huffy with a banana seat. I don't know. Maybe she had some kind of pull with Santa.

Paul Cooper: Why you looking at me like that? Ask Santa. I'm sworn to secrecy.

Lilly: I loved that bike.

Paul Cooper: I, uh, went ahead and ordered. You need a menu or you know what you want?

(to the waiter)
Lilly: Um, sesame noodles, Szechuan green beans and hot and sour soup. (the waiter makes a weird face) Something I said?

Paul Cooper: Great minds think alike. Sesame noodles. Szechuan green beans. Guess the soup's still on its way. Eat before they get cold.
