John, Sarah, Mike, and Linda are sitting at a table in a restaurant, looking at the menu.
John is noticeably excited and keeps suggesting dishes to order.
John: Hey, have you guys tried the shrimp cocktail here? It's amazing!
Sarah: I'm not really in the mood for shrimp, John.
Mike: Yeah, me neither.
Linda: I think I'll just stick with a salad.
John: Oh, come on, guys! You have to try it. It's the best thing on the menu.
The waiter comes over to take their order.
Waiter: Are you guys ready to order?
John: Yes, we'll have the shrimp cocktail, a margherita pizza, and some nachos.
Sarah: John, I don't want any of that.
Mike: Yeah, me neither.
Linda: Can we just order what we want, John?
John: Oh, come on, guys! Trust me, you're going to love it.
The food arrives, but John is the only one who seems to be enjoying it.
John: This shrimp cocktail is amazing! You guys have to try it!
Sarah: John, we told you we didn't want any.
Mike: Yeah, can we just get the bill and leave?
Linda: I don't want to pay for food I didn't eat.
John: What are you talking about? You all loved it!
Sarah: John, no one wanted the food you ordered.
Mike: Yeah, and now you expect us to split the bill with you?
Linda: This is ridiculous.
John: Fine, I'll pay for it myself.
Just as they are about to leave, John makes a shocking revelation.
John: Actually, I have a confession to make. The reason I ordered all that food is because I need it to power my car.
Sarah: What?
Mike: That doesn't make any sense.
Linda: You're not serious, are you?
John: Yes, I invested in a one-of-a-kind food-powered car that runs on baked bread.
Sarah: That's insane!
Mike: And expensive!
Linda: No wonder you wanted to split the bill.
Sarah: Wait a minute, John. If your car runs on baked bread, why did you order shrimp and nachos?
John: Oh, right.. well... I trade the shrimp and nachos to the baked bread place up the road for the baked bread I need to power my car.
Mike: That's still ridiculous, John. Why did you invest in such a crazy car in the first place?
John: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The salesman told me it would run on any kind of food, but it turns out that it only runs on expensive baked bread.
Linda: John, you made a terrible investment. You should cut your losses and move on.
John: What?! No way, I'm not selling my car! This car is my life! It's the coolest thing I've ever owned!
Sarah: John, come on. The car doesn't even work properly, and you're wasting all this money on expensive baked bread just to power it? Be reasonable.
Mike: Yeah, and you're ordering all this food that no one wants just to try to cover the cost.
Linda: It's not worth it, John. You need to let it go.
John: I'm being reasonable!!! Without it, I'm nothing!
Sarah: John, that's ridiculous. You're not defined by your car.
Mike: Yeah, you're so much more than that, Buddy.
Linda: You need to focus on finding something that actually works, not just something that makes you feel cool.
John: Oh Fuck You, Linda! You're always judging me! You get botox every week, and yet you're criticizing my car payments?
Linda: John, that's not the point. Your car is a waste of money, and it's not practical.
John: Yeah, well, at least I'm not wasting my money on something as frivolous as botox.
Sarah: Hey, Linda, I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you get botox every week?
Linda: Um, well, I like to take care of my appearance, and botox helps me look younger.
Mike: You know, Linda, botox isn't really necessary. You look great the way you are.
John: Yeah, and maybe you could save all that money you're spending on botox and invest it in something more practical.
Linda: Hey, I like getting botox, okay? It makes me feel good.
Sarah: Okay, okay, let's not argue. We need to focus on finding a solution for John's car problem.
John: I don't need anyone's help! I'll be fine. Leave me alone!
Linda: John, come on, don't be like that.
Mike: Yeah, we're just trying to help.
Sarah: John, we're your friends. We want to see you succeed.
John: You guys just don't understand. My car is my life.
Suddenly, the waiter walks up with their bill.
Waiter: Okay, your total is $50. Did you want to split it?
Everyone looks at John, who ordered all the expensive food.
John: Uh, actually, I'm a bit short on cash right now. Can you guys cover me this time?
Mike: John, this is ridiculous.
Sarah: Yeah, you need to learn how to manage your money better.
John: Fine, fine. I'll figure something out.
John signals and then whispers to the waiter.
Waiter: I'm sorry sir, we can't have customers working in the kitchen.
John: Please, I really need to pay off my bill. I don't have any other way to do it.
Sarah: John, this is ridiculous. You need to figure out a real solution to your problems.
John: I don't need the peanut gallery Saaaaruhhhhhhh. Make Mind to Your Own Business Saruhhhhh!
