Hired Gun Routines

WAITRESS
HB: Hi, are you ready to--
PUA (looking up): Hi! Can I help you?
HB: Uh...?
PUA: Oh. That was your line, wasn't it? Here, why don't we start over?
HB: Hi, are you ready to order?
PUA: Yeah, I'd like a slab of steak, a warm bath, and a back rub.
HB: (laughs) Sorry, we don't offer those here.
PUA: Well, that's a shame. I'll tell you what: I will NEVER forget you for the rest of my life if you can guess what I want to order off this menu. I'll give you a hint, too; it's on this page.
(If HB looks annoyed, don't continue.)
HB: Ok... I guess... blah blah
PUA: (looking back at her from menu) Uh, who are you again? Don't I know you from somewhere? Did you come over here just to hit on me?
HB: blah blah blah
PUA: Ok, I'll order the blah blah.
(Let her leave. Run opinion opener with Wing when she returns with drinks. DHV when she returns with food. Elicit values when she returns to ask how it's going)

BOOTH SALESWOMAN
Shit, I don't know. It's harder to recognize IOIs because she might just be trying to make a sale.

STORE CLERK
HB: Hi--
PUA (walking up): Hi! Can I help you?
HB: Uh...?
PUA: Oh. That was your line, wasn't it? Here, why don't we start over? (turn around, walk three steps, come back)
HB: Hi, can I help you?
PUA: Yeah, actually. I could use a warm bath and a foot massage.
(HB laughs)
PUA: Hey, let me ask you something. (opinion opener)
HB: blah blah blah I think blah
PUA: Oh, right on. That's exactly what I told my friend! See, you and I, we're on the same wavelength... High five.
(high five. maybe play with her and make her work to slap your hand, judging on receptiveness)
PUA: So, how much do you get paid for working here and flirting with guys like me? Like $10,000 a week?
HB: No way. More like blah blah.
PUA: Oh. Damn, that's a shame. I was gonna ask you out, but I only like rich girls... sorry...
(she laughs. then either a) busts your balls, b) says nothing. b means eject or else you look desperate)
HB: Oh, I see how it is. You're one of those shallow guys.
PUA: No, not necessarily. I like well-rounded girls: smart, funny, exciting, AND rich. I'll tell you what. I'll give you another chance. Is there more to you than meets the eye? (or Are you a passionate person? Tell me your three best qualities? If you had to pick one thing that makes life worth living, what would it be? What's your favorite flavor of bowling ball?)
HB: blah blah blah
PUA is IN. Propose to her. Then bang her.
