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.

:54:00
- Yeah, not yet.
- And l remember one time--

:54:05
I'm gonna break your fucking head,
you fucking jerk !

:54:08
- I'm sorry. He meant to hit me.
- Yeah ? Well, he missed.

:54:10
Here, let me refund your money
and we'll call if even, all right ?

:54:13
I'll never come in here again.
:54:15
And if l see you again,
I'm gonna break your fucking head open !

:54:23
- What the fuck did you do that for ?
- Two reasons.

:54:25
One, l hate it when people can't shut up
about the stupid tabloid headlines.

:54:29
- Oh, Jesus.
- And two, to prove a point.
Title does not dictate behavior.

:54:32
- What ?
- lf title dictated my behavior
as a clerk serving the public,

:54:35
I wouldn't be allowed to spit water
at that guy, but l did.

:54:38
My point is that
people dictate their own behavior.

:54:41
Even though l work in a video store,
I choose to rent movies at Big Choice.

:54:44
- Agreed ?
- You are a danger
to both the dead and the living.

:54:48
I like to think
I'm a master of my own destiny.

:54:50
- Please get the hell outta here.
- You know I'm your hero.

:54:58
Sounds to me like somebody
needs to hit the gym.
