1:43:00
that people can purchase?
- You know, I can't answer

1:43:02
these questions for you.
I'm not the merchandiser

1:43:04
who places those products
in our stores.

1:43:06
- Can we speak to that person?
1:43:07
- But I can get answers
to those questions for you.

1:43:09
If you leave your card, I could
get those answers for you.

1:43:12
- We don't want to leave a card.
1:43:14
The reason why
we can't take a card

1:43:16
and come back
is because Mark here,

1:43:18
he's got a K-Mart bullet
just an inch away... right?

1:43:21
- Yeah.
- From your aorta.

1:43:23
- In between my aorta and spine.
- Between your aorta and spine.

1:43:26
- I'm glad to see that
you're still able to stand.

1:43:29
- And I told him that somebody
here would listen,

1:43:32
somebody here would... would...
1:43:34
would take the request
seriously. Not just a PR person,

1:43:38
but somebody who has some
authority and can answer

1:43:40
some of the questions
that they want answered.

1:43:43
- K-Mart does care about this,
1:43:45
but I can't go any further
right now.

1:43:47
So until I make a call, um,
1:43:49
I'm gonna go back to the office
1:43:51
and see if there's anyone
in merchandising...

1:43:54
- Mary went back upstairs.
And two hours later,

1:43:58
she brought down this guy whose
job it is to buy the bullets

1:44:01
for K-Mart.
1:44:02
- Good. Stay out of trouble.
- Yes.

1:44:05
- We're not the ones in trouble,
guys.

1:44:07
Mark thought he'd show him
his bullet wounds.

1:44:09
Those are his bullet holes.
- Hm.

1:44:11
- From your bullets.
1:44:13
That's where the K-Mart bullets
went in.

1:44:16
- Well, take care.
1:44:18
- Is anybody else gonna
come down?

1:44:21
Is anybody else gonna come down?
Is that it?

1:44:23
- I'll check.
- Okay, thank you.

1:44:25
We waited around
a couple more hours

1:44:28
but no one else came down.
1:44:30
As we left the building,
Mark came up with an idea.

1:44:33
He suggested that we go
1:44:35
to the nearest K-Mart
and buy out all their bullets.

1:44:40
- Just take as many of those
as you can.

1:44:43
- Yeah, you can come around here
and look.

1:44:45
- What else do we have over here?
1:44:48
You got 357. Sure, I'll take 'em
all, take everything you got.

1:44:51
- So you're 17? You're what?
- Sixteen.

1:44:54
- Wait.
1:44:55
- Oh, shit!
1:44:57
- Oh, my God...
