What happened at In-N-Out?

Where are you? I’m inside the In-N-Out… Just do what I told you to do, like we practiced… WHAT?! Heads turn. I can’t believe you. How could you chicken out right now?!… Well of course I knew you wouldn’t intentionally do it, but I’m still mad! I don’t care anymore about the people staring… Sure… Mhm… Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could’ve made some changes and we could’ve done this another time. Why did I choose him as a partner… Alright well- everyone’s gone back to their burgers, except for this one little kid still staring- how am I supposed to carry out the plan without you? You’re the most pivotal part of the- I whisper- heist. I know life can get messy but it’s no excuse to not show up for your old-time pal… Well I’m sorry your nephew has chicken pox, but you know for a fact that if I were in your shoes I would still show up. Even if my great-grandma died! This is the problem with your generation. You’re never grateful for the loyal people in your life who stay and are here to support you… You’re cutting out… Huh? Wait-from the window I see five police cars surrounding the place. Billy, you still there?… Oh okay, thank god. Some sketchy things are going on right now… No I’m not going to do that, I’d look too obvious. Everyone’s getting up and leaving, the little kid is gone… Anyway, as I was saying, kids these days don’t appreciate the value of loyalty. Loyalty should be regarded as-cops are getting out of their cars and walking toward the place, hands on holsters. I dig my gun and duffel bag deeper into my coat pocket… Huh? No, nevermind what I was saying. Billy, you’re too young to understand. What I’m trying to say is that you just need to be smarter with your priorities, that’s all. I casually get up and head to the exit. How about we could go to Augusta next time?… Yeah I heard they sell the best quality tomatoes- I pass the exit but a cop stops me. Good evening officer! Lovely weather tonight! I try to smile my suspicion away… I’m just reaching for my wallet, officer… Bye, Billy.
