Andrew woke up to meet himself on the bed. he remembered coming into a bar. she came down from the bed. he walked out of the room to meet himself in that same bar of last night. looking at the place he was not happy. A wealthy man like him is in a local bar, how cheap; he thought. he was about to walk out of the bar when the bartender who took him to the room stopped him.
BARTENDER: you have to pay for the room you slept in last night.
ANDREW: why?
BARTENDER: you slept in the room. you didn't pay for the drinks you drank last night.
