(Translated from the Hebrew: מדריך תל־אביב מקוצר: איך להתחיל עם בחורה, by Chanoch Levin)
In a coffee shop; Friday, after lunch
[A young man approaches a girl sitting alone in a coffee shop and sits on her]
Girl: Excuse me, but you’re sitting on me!
Man: Waiter! I hear that you have talking seats?
[The waiter approaches]
Waiter: That’s not a seat – it’s a lady.
Man: So why don’t you use seats!?
Waiter: We do use them, only you’ve sat upon a lady by mistake…
Man: Fine, fine! Bring me a cup of tea and stop screwing with my brain! Women and seats!
[to the girl]
The waiters here, I’m telling you!… What’s your name?
Girl: Shoshana.
