“Is that James Franco?” Alex asked his girlfriend Stacy as they sat in a diner.

“The actor?” She looked over her shoulder. “Eating that weird donut and wearing a country club waiter’s polo?”

“It looks kind of like him.”

“He got canceled, right?”

“Yeah, he’s terrible. His career is a wraith now. Dead but haunting the rest of us,” Alex chuckled.

“He could be working at a diner. But I don’t think it’s him.”

“Whether it’s him or not, that guy needs a shave and a haircut.”

“Agreed. And a better mid-morning snack.”

They laughed and ate their croissants.
