BARTENDER: Miss Simple? MISS SIMPLE: Yes. Born to Yohan Simple and Suzanne Simple. Sister to Frankie J simple and Mary Louise Simple. I'm the eldest. 'BARTENDER: Ah-huh. Something tells me being the eldest ain't so simple. MISS SIMPLE: No. It's not. Not at the Simple family is isn't. BARTENDER: I wouldn't know. I'm just a Smith myself, and that's pretty, um, simple. MISS SIMPLE: Smith what? I mean, Smith who? BARTENDER: Smith. Call me Smith. MISS SIMPLE: Okay. Smith. BARTENDER: What can I get you, Miss Simple? BEAT. MISS SIMPLE: You can get me a home, Smith. And a new name with that. Maybe also a new iron. And a television. And a summer dress. A blue one. And medicine for my shoulder. And toothpaste. With Fluoride. And OH, and a gin and tonic, please. Simple.
