Haruto and Frank are getting ready to meet a friend and have dinner together
Haruto: When did Cathy say she'd be here?
Frank: Sometime around 5
Haruto: Well it's quarter past already so..
Frank: Damn you're right. I guess she isn't showing up?
Haruto: Let's give her another 10 minutes or so then we can go on without her
Frank: Fair call, did she shoot you off anything before she left?
Haruto: Nope, nada
Frank: Hmm, maybe she left her phone at home?
Haruto: She's a bit of a clutz but she isn't that hopeless
Frank: True true, hey you never told me what you had in mind for
dinner tonight anyway?
Haruto: Oh there's this really great Vietnamese sub joint just a
stone's throw away from here
Frank: You don't say?
Haruto: Yeah, the thing is, it's REALLY popular right now so I think
it's gonna be jam packed or there will be a line longer than the

watering hole

Cathy!! Hey Cathy!! Over here!!
