Dan recounts a recurring nightmare to Herb about a terrifying figure lurking behind the very diner where they are currently eating. As the details of the dream begin to manifest in reality, Dan's paralyzing fear forces Herb to investigate the back of the building to dispel the dread.
HERB: Why did you want to go to breakfast if you're not hungry?
DAN: I just wanted to come here.
HERB: To Denny's? I wasn't going to say anything, but why Denny's?
DAN: This Denny's.
HERB: Okay. Why this Denny's?
DAN: It's kind of embarrassing but, I had a dream about this place.
HERB: Oh boy.
