Truman replaces the receiver, disappointed.
INT. LOCAL ITALIAN DELI. LUNCHTIME.
TRUMAN stands in line with a crush of other WHITE COLLAR
WORKERS. As he reaches the counter, the store owner, TYRONE,
has anticipated his order and ahs already begun preparing a
meatball and mozzarella sandwich on Italian roll. Truman gazes
at the sandwich skillfully under construction, pained by his own
predictability.
TYRONE:
(nauseatngly cheerful)
How's it goin', Truman?
TRUMAN:
(deadpan)
Not bad. I just won the State Lottery.
TYRONE:
(not listening to Truman's
reply, as Truman anticipated)
Good. Good.
TRUMAN:
Tyrone, what if I said I didn't want meatball today?
TYRONE:
(not missing a beat)
I'd ask for identification.
Truman forces a half-smile.
We focus on another MALE OFFICE WORKER in line at the cash
register, watching Truman out of the corner of his eye. About
to depart with his sandwich, the man receives a guarded rebuke
from the FEMALE CASHIER.
FEMALE CASHIER:
(a whisper to prevent Truman overhearing)
He's right there. You're supposed to pay
when he's here.
MALE CUSTOMER:
(nonchalant shrug as he departs)
He never notices.
We re-focus our attention on Truman who is taking the wrapped
sandwich from Tyrone.
TYRONE:
Hold on, Truman. I got somethin' to show ya.
Tyrone holds up a front page of the New York Post that
features a photograph of a scaled-down replica of Columbus'
Santa Maria, moored in front of the Manhattan skyline. Truman's
eyes widen at the photograph.
TYRONE:
(referring to the photo)
The flagship of Christoforo...our Genoese
navigator, huh? I know you love this like me.
TRUMAN:
(averting his eyes with difficulty)
Not me. You got the wrong man.
