EXT. MARK'S PLACE - ESTABLISHING - DAY

INT. MARK'S PLACE - LUNCH TIME - DAY

BACKGROUND: OLYMPIC GAMES ON TV SCREEN; GENERAL CHATTER

The pizza joint is half-filled with lunch-goers. Pan to the middle of the room where THE DA, THE OM and THAT GIRL are seated at a table, eating pizza.

THE DA
(chews)
This is really good, you guys.
THAT GIRL
(chews)
Ha! See? I chose it!
THE OM
(chews; raises his eyebrows)
THAT GIRL
Well, okay. The Om chose it the first time, but still...
THAT GIRL goes back to chewing her pizza. THE DA pauses to look at THE OM.
THE DA
(curious)
So, are you circumcised?
THAT GIRL almost chokes on her pizza. THE OM simply stares at THE DA, stunned.
THE DA
(nonchalant)
It's just a question.
THE DA goes back to her pizza.
THE OM
(stunned)
I'm not even going to answer that.
