You're a cop?

No! Ha! No, no.

I'm-I'm--

Shitting you.

I know who you are.

You do?

You are in that Ashley Judd movie.

You saw that?

Blockbuster over there.

Only sh*t we see.

Yeah, well, I'm--

Mm, I know.

And you are?

Your name again is--

Did I tell you?

No, of course not.

Research for what?

A project.

What the hell does

that mean, "a project"?

Uh, film. You know.

Little-- Uh, nothing

I've committed to.

Just--

A movie.

Yeah.

Then why don't you say so?

Scarlet. That's your name.

Scarlet.

Yeah.

Yeah. Good strong name, Scarlet.

Beautiful name.

It's the lead in a movie name.

Scarlet.

What would you

possibly learn here?

Everything. Everything.

What?

Well, for instance, do you know...

that you change hands

every other customer?

You got this rhythm thing going.

Are you aware of that? Hmm?

Are you shitting me?

No!

No, it's just details.

It's all detail.

That's all character is, behavior.

You have to build it.

For instance, this blouse

that you're wearing here

under this smock?

That's a choice, right?

That's specific.

What does it say to us,

to the audience?

It says that she's here

but she's not here.

She's doing it,

but on here own terms.

You see what I'm saying?

Or, it's very uncomfortable.

What have we got here.

Some sort of a poly blend?

Hard to say.

It's not wool, is it?

I don't do well with wool.

Sweat like a motherf***er.

Manager doesn't have

to wear wool, does he?

Might have a problem with it.

Are all actors like you?

Sadly, no.

Oh, Jesus. Lee.

Lee!

Is that him?

Is that the manager?

Oh. Oh, the vest is great.

He's a standby. Deaf as a post.

Deaf!

Yeah, he's-- Oh, sh*t.

How am I supposed

to get out of here?

Put it back!

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Scarlet!

What are you doing?

You're doing a wonderful job, Scarlet.

Customers, please note

the outstanding work

being done by our employee

in the 10 items or less lane.

And you'll find there's no waiting

in aisle number one,

where our full service checker

is currently sitting on her ass.

Hey, f*** off.

Why the hurry?

Because. I was supposed to

get out of here 15 minutes ago.

And if I just leave Lee here,

the place will probably

get robbed again.

Robbed?

Like, "robbed" robbed?

Where do you think you are?

Really?

I'm sick of taking care

of these children.

But wait.

Are you going now?

Don't stay too long.

The next shift doesn't speak English.

Well, wait a minute. Couldn't

you stay a few more minutes?

I gotta go.

Just five more minutes.

Aren't you supposed

to get picked up?

There's some little

autobus that comes, or--

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know where the kid is.

He was supposed to be here
