Day After S&B's First Date

Brenda comes into Kelly's the day after S&B's first date. Sonny is talking to Luke. He introduces Luke to Brenda and Luke leaves. Brenda looks uncomfortable.
S: We were just doing a little business. Can I get you anything? Sit down.
B: Uh, no, I don’t have that much time before my first class. (Brenda is looking around, avoiding eye contact with Sonny. Ruby comes over and hands Sonny the check.)
S: (to Ruby) “Um..2 more coffees.” Ruby totally ignores him.
B: (asks Ruby) Do you know where Jagger is?
Ruby: Yeah, he’s in the storeroom working. Do you want coffee?”
B: Uh...yes, yeah.” Ruby goes to get Brenda’s coffee and Brenda clears her throat nervously.
S: You got something against sitting down? (B sighs and sits down.)
S: I was going to say that I had a really good time last night. So good in fact, I was going to call you later, see if you wanted to take a little drive
out to this place I know about. They’ve got a chef from Tuscany, would you believe? Only this time, we’ll take your car. See if we get that hot little motor of yours really *humming*!
B: “Um..I...
(Ruby brings coffee, but only for Brenda.)
B: Oh, thank you Ruby. (Ruby walks away.)
S: I guess she forgot my coffee?”
B: Yeah.”
S: What do you say?”
B: I don’t think so Sonny. I think maybe we better cool it.”
S: Mmm...*see*, I thought I was picking up some strange vibes. So, who’s been bad-mouthing me? Our *esteemed* police commissioner??”
B: No, listen I make up my own mind about people.”
S: That’s what I thought.”
B: And I just think you’re too hot for me to handle, okay? That’s it.”
S: No, I think you can handle me just fine.”
B: Well, too bad we’re never going to find out.”
S: Is that so? Gee, if you think it’s too bad and I think it’s too bad, why not forget about all this well-meaning advice you’ve been getting and check it out? Since when do you run away from a challenge? Are you going to be satisfied with just a spark, or *do* you want to set the whole world on fire?
