The Masses are Asses = Las masas son crasas

GENTLEMAN

Hurry up dear, our reservation is for eight and it's a quarter to, already.

LADY

I'll be through in a minute darling, I'm putting on my make up.

Snobbish throat clearing resumes for the next 15 seconds.

GENTLEMAN

We'll never get there on time at the rate you are going. We should have been on our way over there by now.

LADY

So we get there late, so what, the restaurant isn't going to go anywhere.

GENTLEMAN

This is Paris not Paramus! If you make reservations for a certain time in a fancy restaurant you must be on time or you will lose the reservation.
