They start goofing around and Bingo uses her tail to blow the newspapers off, then carries them back in her mouth. Bandit exits with a bag of food, but he forgets something and goes back into the restaurant, leaving the girls outside again.
They push each other off a chair and blow raspberries, then Bandit exits again, but they have to wait again since he forgot to order spring rolls. He phone-calls Chilli, who complains that Bandit is taking too long. Bluey wants to play while they wait, but Bandit just wants to read the paper.
Bluey gets thirsty, so Bandit lets her use the tap but not shower under it. She needs help turning it on, but she manages to get her drink. After he helps her turn it off, Bingo (who'd wanted to eat some nearby plants but was told no) wants to know why only certain plants are edible, while Bluey wants to play with some menus.
He lets her grab two, but then Bingo gets thirsty as well, so Bandit lets her drink from the tap and Bluey drops the menus in the water. Bandit has her retrieve two more, then the girls start playing restaurant. However, they take Bandit's chair and newspaper to use in their game. He goes back into the restaurant.
Bingo wants to actually eat the food as part of the game, since she's hungry, and she spills it due to being shocked at how spicy it is. Bandit exits and is dismayed at the food being spilled. He rinses out Bingo's mouth, but then she has to pee. Bluey is pretending to be a walrus with chopsticks in her mouth, so Bandit again tells her not to play under the tap, then takes Bingo inside to ask for directions to the bathroom.
Upon learning that the bathroom is too far, and Bingo is too "busting" to wait until she gets home, he has her pee into a bush. Meanwhile, Bluey again has trouble turning off the tap. Bandit turns it off once Bingo finishes doing her "business", but crows eat the spilled food, and he then slips on it and falls. To make matters worse, the takeaway lady comes out and tells them that the spring rolls will take five more minutes.
She hands the girls fortune cookies, and Bluey's reads, "Flowers may bloom again, but a person never has the chance to be young again". Upon hearing this, Bandit finally lets Bluey shower under the tap, and Bingo joins in.
