*smiles and bobs her head in time to the music as she guides her parents to a table*

*sings along quietly under her breath*

Isn't he great?

[roger_burkle]

*stares at Lorne up on stage*

Well, I'll be ... you sure that's not some kinda makeup?

[trish_burkle]

Shush, dear, let's just enjoy....

*to the waiter that approaches*

Oh, I'll just have a Coke, thank you. Roger? Fred?

[roger_burkle]

Don't s'pose you've got any Shiner Bock on hand--you do?

*glances at Fred*

That something you usually carry? Huh. I see.

*smiles at Fred*

You got good taste in friends, darlin'.

*hands the mike over to an audience member and bounces over to the Burkles' table*

Freddikins, why didn't you tell me your parents were coming over this evening? I wasn't expecting to meet them until the Christmas party--if I'd known they were going to be here, I would've slipped into something more spectacular.

[_burkle_]

Oh, like you don't always look spectacular.

*waves at her parents*

Lorne, I'd like you to meet my folks, Trish and Roger Burkle.

[roger_burkle]

*offers his hand to Lorne*

Howdy. Nice to meet another one of our daughter's friends.

[trish_burkle]

How do you do?

*smiles politely*

So ... Fred tells us you're from the same place where she was ... where she was for those five years?

[anonymous]

You always look spectacular. And I'm glad Fred's parents likes you.
