Not

too

much

,

I

say

.

Tyler

and

me

,

we

've

turned

into

the

guerrilla

terrorists

of

the

service

industry

.

Dinner

party

saboteurs

.

The

hotel

caters

dinner

parties

,

and

when

somebody

wants

the

food

they

get

the

food

and

the

wine

and

the

china

and

glassware

and

the

waiters

.

They

get

the

works

,

all

in

one

bill

.

And

because

they

know

they

ca

n't

threaten

you

with

the

pp

,

to

them

you

're

just

a

cockroach

.

Tyler

,

he

did

a

dinner

party

one

time

.

This

was

when

Tyler

turned

into

a

renegade

waiter

.

That

first

dinner

party

,

Tyler

was

serving

the

fish

course

in

this

white

and

glass

cloud

of

a

house

that

seemed

to

float

over

the

city

on

steel

legs

attached

to

a

hillside

.

Part

of

the

way

through

the

fish

course

,

while

Tyler

's

rinsing

plates

from

the

pasta

course

,

the

hostess

comes

in

the

kitchen

holding

a

scrap

of

paper

that

flaps

like

a

flag

,

her

hand

is

shaking

so

much

.

Through

her

clenched

teeth

,

Madam

wants

to

know

did

the

waiters

see

any

of

the

guests

go

down

the

hallway

that

leads

to

the

bedroom

part

of

the

house

?

Especially

any

of

the

women

guests

?

Or

the

host

?

In

the

kitchen

,

it

's

Tyler

and

Albert

and

Len

and

Jerry

rinsing

and

stacking

the

plates

and

a

prep

cook

,

Leslie

,

basting

garlic

butter

on

the

artichoke

hearts

stuffed

with

shrimp

and

escargot

.

"

We

're

not

supposed

to

go

in

that

part

of

the

house

,

"

Tyler

says

.

We

come

in

through

the

garage

.

All

we

're

supposed

to

see

is

the

garage

,

the

kitchen

,

and

the

dining

room

.

The

host

comes

in

behind

his

wife

in

the

kitchen

doorway

and

takes

the

scrap

of

paper

out

of

her

shaking

hand

.

"

This

will

be

alright

,

"

he

says

.

"

How

can

I

face

those

people

,

"

Madam

says

,

"

unless

I

know

who

did

this

?

"

The

host

puts

a

flat

open

hand

against

the

back

of

her

silky

white

party

dress

that

matches

her

house

and

Madam

straightens

up

,

her

shoulders

squared

,

and

is

all

of

a

sudden

quiet

.

"

They

are

your

guests

,

"

he

says

.

"

And

this

party

is

very

important

.

"

This

looks

in

a

really

funny

way

like

a

ventriloquist

bringing

his

dummy

to

life

.

Madam

looks

at

her

husband

,

and

with

a

little

shove

the

host

takes

his

wife

back

into

the

dining

room

.

The

note

drops

to

the

floor

and

the

two-way

swish-swish

of

the

kitchen

door

sweeps

the

note

against

Tyler

's

feet

.
