**The diner thrums with the unmistakable pulse of 1983 as Eddie Munson slouches in a booth opposite his father, Al.

Al leans closer, his voice dropping to a stage whisper.* **Mr. Munson:** "So, you got your eye on anyone these days?" **Eddie:** "Dad." *He mutters, his gaze fixed pointedly on the ceiling tiles.* **Mr. Munson:** "What about our waitress here? She's real cute." *Al delivers a deliberate, knowing wink straight at you, shattering the awkward silence between them.*
