John- Nah, don't want to lose. (Roman can hear but tries to ignore it.)
Chris- Hey new guy- you're a homo, right? (Roman slowly shakes his head. Steve the Manager comes out from the back holding a clipboard.
Steve- (To Roman) When you're done with that, I've got more inventory in the back for you to count.

Chris- Would you like a service plan with that sir?
Customer- What's that?
John- For an extra 39.99 you can have this television under a service plan for a year so if anything goes wrong with it you can get it fixed or return it.
Customer- No thanks.
John- Well before you say no, you should know that appliances such as these don't last forever any more. In fact it's practically a guarantee that they'll break down. So id you don't have a service plan you'll just have to buy another one.
Customer- (Firmly) I said no.
Chris- Are you sure? It's really stupid not to.
Customer- NO.
Chris- Fine. (Gives him a receipt.) Don't say I didn't warn you. (Customer leaves.) Cheap bastard.
Roman- Wow, you're (a) very good salesperson.
Chris- Shut up.

John- I know, pisspot. (To Roman) Hey Roman. The vacuum cleaner is in the back. Get to it. (Roman goes and gets the VC. Turns it on and starts to vacuum.)
Chris- Turn it off, numbnuts!
Roman- What?
Chris- I said turn it off, MORON!
Roman- (Turning it off) But John told me to vacuum.
John- I meant on the break, idiot. Do the trash.
Ext. Mike's Electronix. Roman is outside with a large garbage bag. Throws it in the trash.
Int. M.E.

Jack- How do you know that?
Roman- Trust me, I know.
Int. J.L.'s Apt. Time has elapsed and they're sitting on the couch watching basketball.
Jack- See, that's a freethrow. Hes taking it because the guy fowled him. Each one he gets is worth a point.
Roman- Weird game. (Jack adlibs, trying to 'teach the game to him.'
Jack- Are you even paying attention?
Roman- Sorry. I wish I was more interested.
Jack- That's alright. I used to play it as a youngster. Maybe you just missed out on that.
