:52:04
- Let me borrow your car.
- l don't want to talk to you.

:52:07
- Fine. Just let me borrow your car.
- Why should l loan you my car ?

:52:11
- l want to rent a movie.
- You want to rent a movie.

:52:13
- [ Sighs ]
- What's that for ?

:52:15
- You work in a video store !
- l work in a shitty video store.

:52:19
I want to go to a good video store
so l can get a good movie.

:52:24
And a pack of cigarettes.
:52:26
- Cute cat. What's its name ?
- Annoying customer.

:52:29
Fucking dickhead.
:52:33
Can you imagine being halfway decent
to the customers sometimes ?

:52:36
- Let me borrow your car.
- May l be blunt with you ?

:52:39
If you must.
:52:41
We are employees of Quick Stop
Convenience and RST Video, respectively.

:52:43
As such, we have certain obligations
that, although they may seem cruel
and unusual,

:52:47
- does mean manning the store
until closing.
- l see.

:52:49
So playing hockey and attending wakes
are standard operating procedures ?

:52:53
There's a difference.
Those are obligations that couldn't
have been met at any other date.

:52:57
Now, renting videos, that's gratuitous,
not to mention illogical,

:53:00
being that you work at a video store.
:53:02
- Are you open ?
- Yes.

:53:04
- l don't care for your rationale.
- it's gonna have to do,
being it's my car up for request.

:53:08
- Can l help you ?
- A pack of cigarettes.

:53:11
- What's your point ?
- My point is,
you're a clerk, paid to do a job.

:53:14
You can't just do anything
you want while you're working.

:53:18
""Space alien revealed
as head of Time-Warner.

:53:22
Report stock increase.""
:53:25
They print any kind of shit
in this paper.

:53:27
They certainly do.
Three dollars.

:53:29
- Your argument is
that title dictates behavior.
- What ?

:53:32
The reason you won't
Let me use your car is because
I have a title and job description,

:53:35
- and I'm supposed to follow it, right ?
- Exactly.

:53:37
I saw one one time that said,
:53:40
""The next week,
the world is ending.""

:53:43
In the next week's paper, they said,
:53:45
""We were miraculously saved
at the zero hour...

:53:48
by a koala-fish mutant bird.""
:53:52
[ Laughing ]
Crazy shit.

:53:53
So I'm no more
responsible for my decisions here than,
say, a death squad soldier in Bosnia ?

:53:57
That's stretching it. You're not being
asked to slay children or anything.
