Lisa's eyes gleam; she can hardly believe her luck. She wants to react to Evan's words and show her gratitude and excitement, but he quickly leaves the restaurant. She stomps her foot excitedly and looks at her friends.
"Did you hear that?" she says, "Mr. Howel and I are going on a date tonight!"
The women are dumbfounded by Mr. Howel's cool charm and his invitation to join him at night. Upon hearing Lisa's excited scream, they become excited and begin to exclaim and giggle among themselves.
"Yes, Mr. Howel invited us to go there together. Did I hear that wrong?"
"It's all because of me that Mr. Howel invited you," Lisa says, holding her neck up like a proud peacock.
"Mr. Howel seems interested in Lisa," whispers one in despair, "What should I do? I want him to be mine."
"What? How could he be yours?" hisses another.
"Do you take Mrs. Howel seriously?" one woman asks Lisa.
