Object
Four Seasons Breakfast Folded Receipt (Hotel Restaurant Check)
A small, folded paper receipt bearing the hotel's name and an itemized list of breakfast charges. Crisp at the crease from being handled, roughly wallet-sized, with printed totals and a line for signature. Tony, the waiter, places it on the table; Leo picks it up to scan the total and then sets his credit card on the folded check. The paper functions as a quiet focal object, its margins smudged by guest fingertips and its presence interrupting the private rhythm of the meal.

Purpose
To present the bill for the meal and provide a surface for payment authorization and signature.
Significance
Serves as the immediate plot device that shifts the scene from private family repair to public transaction: the check compels a formal payment ritual, gives Leo an excuse to produce the credit card, and punctuates the awkward exchange when Congressman Skinner intrudes—underscoring the episode's theme of private sacrifice amid public obligations.
