A hotel lobby in Amsterdam. Two middle-aged American women are sipping some wine, while a handsome, muscular, young Dutch guy sits next to them works on a laptop. The women catch his eye, and ask him for some dinner recommendations. They speak a little about museums and such. He then names two restaurants - one French and one Italian.
