It's pretty tough fitting much of Falcor into the diner, but what the hey, what can't top-notch 1984 German special effects accomplish? Soon enough you're sippin' soup with a luck dragon. Who'd of thunk it? It would be just about perfect if not for a particularly annoying song playing on the little mini jukebox thingy you sometimes find in diners.
"I see you ordered the Potato soup," Falcor says, his distressingly hairy animatronic lips clapping together over and over, "which reminds me of a rather hilarious joke about a hotel where the restaurant specializes in potato soup."
"Hahn? This is chicken noodle. Listen, Falcor, about that ride you offered-"
"I can't recall exactly how it goes," The dragon continues, it's massive jaw slamming up and down, spewing soup everywhere, alarmingly out of sync with the sound of its voice, "but through a series of amusing misunderstandings, a patron who refused to order the soup later receives an enema against his will."
"Yeah, Okay, Falcor, that's... well, unsettling, but the thing is, my Great Uncle-"
"Later when this patron is asked how he enjoyed his vacation," Falcor elaborates, huge eyelids spastically blinking like an epileptic Teddy Ruxpin, "He says, 'it was fine but if you go there,' oh, excuse me, I just love this song, I'm going to turn it up, in any case the patron says, 'you should order the potato soup-'"
"THAT'S SWELL, FALCOR!" You bellow over the dentist's drill-like wheedling of Limahl...
The justifiably forgotten lead singer of British Pop music sensation and engine of torture, Kajagoogoo, "BUT SERIOUSLY, CAN YOU JUST FUNCTION AS A PLOT DEVICE AND GET ME WHERE I'M GOING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO THE SINGLE MOST ANNOYING-"
"YOU SHOULD ORDER THE POTATO SOUP BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT ANYWAY! YOU SEE, OUR HAPLESS PATRON HAD ASSUMED THE ENEMA HE RECEIVED-"
"STOP TALKING!" You holler, holding the dragon's jaws apart, but somehow it keeps speaking!
"WAS THE MANAGEMENT'S TRANSGRESSIVE REACTION TO HIS REFUSAL TO INGEST THEIR SIGNATURE SOUP, AND THAT THE SUBSTANCE FORCIBLY INJECTED INTO HIM DURING A CASE OF MEDICAL MISTAKEN IDENTITY WAS IN FACT-"
"No, no, NO YOU DAMNED NAZI PUPPET DOG, DON'T YOU SAY-"
"POTATO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!"

One of the best Destiny Books so far.
I'm still loving this. It doesn't need to make sense.
Now I feel bad about my meat lips.
I think it was a musical. My family watches it every year.
"GET OVER HERE, YOU WEIRD LITTLE MAN!"
kidding aside, awesome work.
