"Ya'll ready to order?"

"No not yet, we'll need some more time, thank you."

"Okie-dokie, take your time."

"So what should we get?"

"What are the choices?"

"You haven't even looked at the menu yet?"

"No I thought we'd have more time."

"We do but most of us have looked at the menu already."

"Oh, ok so what are the options then?"

"We're getting pizza, so pizza options."

"I want ice cream."

"Then you should have gone for ice cream, we're getting pizza now."

"Ok is there an option for pizza that tastes like ice cream?"

"Yes but it's expensive and on the dessert menu."

"I want that."

"Wait I want pepperoni, let's get pepperoni."

"Can't we get sausage and mushroom?"

"Hold on, clearly we need to vote. We get 1 topping, we can't afford more. 5 votes to win. And no dessert pizza, you should have gone for ice cream instead."

"Fair enough, let's get spinach."

"Why spinach? I thought you wanted ice cream?"

"No that was her, I want spinach."

"Oh, sorry, you're sitting on the same side so I thought you were together."

"No, that's a coincidence. I want spinach."

"Spinach sounds good, I can get on board with spinach."

"Ok, so spinach is one choice, pepperoni and sausage and mushrooms were also thrown out. Any other nominees?"

"Yeah I want anchovies."

"No fuck that."

"Yeah no anchovies, that's gross."

"Fine, I'll get my own pizza then."

"You can't afford that. You don't have any money."

"Fine, then let's get anchovies. It's good, you'll like it."

"It sounds gross, no."

"Yeah, I'm not putting fish on my pizza, let's get spinach."

"I don't care what we get, just pick something."

"Have you ever tried anchovies? They're great. You'll love them. Don't knock it 'til you try it."

"No, if we get anchovies I'm not eating any, I'm leaving for ice cream if we get anchovies."

"I don't care, just get something, I'm hungry."

"Spinach."

"Yeah let's do the spinach."

"No anchovies."

"Wait, let's compromise on pepperoni. It's normal and everyone likes it."

"I'm in the mood for spinach."

"And I'm in the mood for anchovies."

"Well shit, let's vote then. Anchovies, say 'Aye'"

"Aye."

"Aye."

"Ok, spinach?"

"Aye."

"Aye."

"Ok, 2 for spinach, 2 for anchovies, 5 undecided."

"I don't care as long as it's not anchovies."

"And I don't care as long as it's not spinach."

"Ok then you should have spoken up earlier. It's between spinach and anchovies. Unless the 5 of you can agree."

"I'll vote for whichever is winning. I don't care, I'm just hungry."

"We should have gone for ice cream."

"Shut up, you're not helping."

"How can you like anchovies, they're disgusting."

"Spinach is more disgusting, All slimy and gross."

"They're both gross, let's get sausage."

"No, we're past those, the choices are spinach or anchovies."

"Let's write it down, everyone write your choice, no sitting out, everyone has to vote."

"Ok fine."

"Ok let's tally the votes."

"1 for sausage, 3 for spinach, 3 for anchovies, 1 for pepperoni, 1 for mushrooms."

"OK let's try that again."

"Whoever voted for mushroom, pepperoni, or sausage is an idiot. It's going to be spinach or anchovies, quit wasting votes on that bullshit."

"1 for sausage, 4 for spinach, 4 for anchovies."

"Who voted sausage?"

"Yeah who voted sausage? We already established that's not a real option."

"Fuck you, just a minute ago most of you didn't want the two options. Those of you who voted other options before or didn't care should vote sausage."

"Yeah now I kinda want sausage."

"No changing your vote."

"You can change until we order. That's how this works."

"I just want ice cream."

"Will you shut up already? Executive decision, we're getting spinach pizza."

"No spinach is gross and the majority of us don't want it."

"Yeah, no spinach."

"No spinach."

"Boo you suck. Anchovies are gross. I got food poisoning from anchovies once."

"That's not true, you got it from sardines."

"What's the difference?"

"Ok, ok, I got it, everyone for anchovies sit over there, everyone for spinach sit over here."

"But I want sausage, and she still wants ice cream."

"Yeah ice cream is sounding good now."

"Too late, we're here and we have a tab started with the drinks. We're getting pizza."

"Yeah it's too late for ice cream, we're getting pizza."

"Voting again, spinach, anchovies, or sausage?"

"I'm not voting, I'll eat whatever."

"Fine, you can eat fucking anchovies then."

"When we're eating anchovies it'll be your unpatriotic-asses fault."

"What does patriotism have to do with this? I was the one who drove us here. I like all pizza equally."

"Yeah I really don't care either."

"Well I do, I'm vegan, I can't eat anchovies."

"You're not fucking vegan you ate Chick-fil-a for lunch."

"Well I feel vegan."

"So what is the current vote then?"

"4 for spinach, 4 for anchovies?"

"Yeah, and I don't care so someone convince me."

"Spinach is food for cows. Anchovies are for humans."

"Anchovies are gross, they're salty and slimy, and give everything a fishy flavor."

"I like fish but my sodium levels are high. So I'm leaning to the spinach."

"Spinach sucks, it literally tastes like nothing, it has nothing to add, we might as well get cheese, save the money and stuff a napkin on top of the pie."

"True, gotta love flavor. Now I'm leaning toward the 'chovy."

"If you make us get anchovies I'll literally throw up."

"How can you like spinach? It's weak, it pretends to be super and wonderful but it has nothing to offer. It's a waste of a topping."

"That's so anchovy of you to say."

"Wow, did you come up with that on your own?"

"Yes, yes I did."

"Ok I've made my mind up. I want sausage. The rest of you can still change your vote to sausage."

"I would but I'd be wasting my vote, I want anything but anchovies."

"That's horrible logic, just vote for sausage and you'll get sausage."

"A vote for sausage is a vote for anchovies."

"I'll change to sausage."

"THANK YOU."

"Ok so now it's 2 for sausage, 3 for anchovies, 4 for spinach. So spinach wins."

"No, because the majority doesn't want spinach."

"Yeah, not spinach."

"No spinach, only majority wins."

"I'm changing to sausage, too."

"So now a 3 way tie."

"You have got to be kidding, spinach was winning."

"Yeah I'm actually thinking sausage now too."

"4 for sausage, 3 for anchovies, 2 for spinach."

"I want ice cream. But I'm changing to sausage, too."

"Fine it's decided. Sausage wins."

"I'm actually fine with that."

"Yeah, sausage is good."

"Cool."
