Roman's at the lunch counter of a diner in the city called Chili John's. I'm going to be kind and call this diner "authentic." I'm quite surprised to see Roman sitting with his back to the door; even disregarding what happens later (spoiler!), he doesn't seem the type. Bill finds him there and sits next to him at the lunch counter. Bill acts all earnest, warning Roman that Hollis and Selma Greene have asked him to spy on the UEB for them. "They think they can exploit the problems that you and I have had," he says. Oh, those silly Greenes. How they've miscalculated. Roman doesn't exactly freak out at the news; he merely orders them two butterscotch sundaes and two 7Ups. What, has Sprite fallen out of favor on this show? "The butterscotch is homemade," Roman smiles at Bill. Kind of a weird comment. I never thought of butterscotch as an independent ingredient, but just a flavor that doesn't exist outside of topping or some other medium. Now I find myself wondering what a butterscotch looks like, and whether I would be able to tell one apart from a mocha on sight. Bill remains serious, telling Roman that the Greenes are planning to attack his irrigation company. "How's my daughter?" Roman asks mildly. Bill says she's fine, and Roman tells him to look after her. "I'll take care of the Greenes. Thank you for bringing it to my attention." That would seem to be the end of the meeting, but now they still have sundaes to get through. Which won't be awkward at all. Maybe they could talk about how Roman exposed them, which these two haven't really done yet.
