Diner owner: How you?
Guy at the Table Next to Me: Seen too many sunrises. [orders breakfast, she already knew he wanted coffee – he’s clearly a regular]
Owner: [comes back with coffee] Suitcase – you coming or going? [points at the suitcase next to him]
Guy: Little of both. [orders breakfast]
Owner: [brings food]
Guy: [Yawns, with a verbal sigh on exhale]
Owner: You seem depressed today. You ok?
Guy: Oh, yeah. Just not a morning person.
