:55:01
- does mean manning the store
until closing.
- l see.
:55:04
So playing hockey and attending wakes
are standard operating procedures ?
:55:08
There's a difference.
Those are obligations that couldn't
have been met at any other date.
:55:12
Now, renting videos, that's gratuitous,
not to mention illogical,
:55:15
being that you work at a video store.
:55:17
- Are you open ?
- Yes.
:55:19
- l don't care for your rationale.
- it's gonna have to do,
being it's my car up for request.
:55:24
- Can l help you ?
- A pack of cigarettes.
:55:26
- What's your point ?
- My point is,
you're a clerk, paid to do a job.
:55:30
You can't just do anything
you want while you're working.
:55:34
""Space alien revealed
as head of Time-Warner.
:55:38
Report stock increase.""
:55:41
They print any kind of shit
in this paper.
:55:44
They certainly do.
Three dollars.
:55:46
- Your argument is
that title dictates behavior.
- What ?
:55:48
The reason you won't
Let me use your car is because
I have a title and job description,
:55:51
- and I'm supposed to follow it, right ?
- Exactly.
:55:54
I saw one one time that said,
:55:57
""The next week,
the world is ending.""
:56:00
In the next week's paper, they said,
:56:03
""We were miraculously saved
at the zero hour...
:56:05
by a koala-fish mutant bird.""
:56:09
[ Laughing ]
Crazy shit.
:56:11
So I'm no more
responsible for my decisions here than,
say, a death squad soldier in Bosnia ?
:56:15
That's stretching it. You're not being
asked to slay children or anything.
:56:18
- Yeah, not yet.
- And l remember one time--
:56:23
I'm gonna break your fucking head,
you fucking jerk !
:56:26
- I'm sorry. He meant to hit me.
- Yeah ? Well, he missed.
:56:28
Here, let me refund your money
and we'll call if even, all right ?
:56:31
I'll never come in here again.
:56:34
And if l see you again,
I'm gonna break your fucking head open !
:56:41
- What the fuck did you do that for ?
- Two reasons.
:56:44
One, l hate it when people can't shut up
about the stupid tabloid headlines.
:56:48
- Oh, Jesus.
- And two, to prove a point.
Title does not dictate behavior.
:56:51
- What ?
- lf title dictated my behavior
as a clerk serving the public,
:56:55
I wouldn't be allowed to spit water
at that guy, but l did.
:56:58
My point is that
people dictate their own behavior.
