INT - KOREAN DELI, NYC - EARLY MORNING

An OFFICEWORKER wearing a beige dress and a thin, cream-colored cardigan talks on a phone while she gingerly picks up yogurt and carrot sticks. A MAN with bedhead and cutoff khaki shorts stands nearby, contemplating how many Diet Cokes to buy.

OFFICEWORKER (on phone)
...On top of that, a woman quit yesterday.

(pause)

No, one you want to stay.

(pause)

No, she told them yesterday, you know, gave them her two-weeks notice, and they threw a fit. Then she said, 'You know what? Just consider this my last day,' and walked out.

(pause)

NO! That's how they are. And you know the worst part?

The officeworker moves toward the bagel counter, and the man decides to see how the bananas are and moves absentmindedly-looking in the same direction.

OFFICEWORKER

(pause)

I think I'm becoming one of them.
