Start from the beginning.
1 - The waitress stomps away, unimpressed with Randall's miserly behaviour. Randall looks towards the entrance and gives a big, happy wave to his friend Charles, who is still off-panel.
RANDALL: Chuck!
2 - Randall is up and out of his chair, heading towards Charles, who has not made it to his table yet. Randall takes the napkin from his collar and puts it on the table. Charles looks a little confused. Some of the other diners may look up from their meals to see what the fuss is about.
RANDALL: Thank god you're here!
3 - Randall puts his arm around Charles' shoulders and steers him towards the entrance of the restaurant, heading out. Randall looks pleased as punch; Charles is a tad bewildered; the waitress from before looks on from the background, seething.
RANDALL: I was worried I was going to have to order something
4 - Randall and Charles stand outside the restaurant. Chez Edgar is on the ground level of a block of buildings in a gentrifying neighbourhood. There are other stores and restaurants about and apartment buildings above these storefronts. Charles stops and looks annoyed. Randall reaches into his jacket, a knowing look on his face.
CHARLES: Wait, why did you even want to meet here if we weren't planning on staying?
RANDALL: Are you kidding?
5 - Close on Randall and Charles. Randall has pulled out a dinner roll from his jacket and takes a big bite out of it; Charles looks even less impressed than before.
RANDALL: Their bread is unreal!
