""sell me something that will

stink up my breath and clothes,

- and fry my lungs !""

- [ Dante ] Now, wait a second.

Here comes the speech about how he's

just doing his job by following orders.

Let me tell you

about another group of hate-mongers

that were just following orders.

- Who's that ?

- They were called Nazis !

- Yeah, that's right.

- Friggin' Nazi.

They practically wiped

an entire nation off the Earth,

Like your cigarettes are doing now !

- [ Dante ] l think you'd oughta leave.

- You want me to leave. Why ?

'Cause somebody's telling it like it is,

giving these fine people a wake-up call?

- Yeah.

- No, you're loitering

and causing a disturbance.

I'm a disturbance ?

You're the disturbance, pal.

Here, now l am a customer.

I'm gonna buy some Chewlies gum.

I'm a customer engaged in a discussion

with the other customers.

- That's right.

- Smoke my big fat cock !

He's scared now

'cause he sees the threat we present.

He smells the change is coming !

You definitely are the source

in this area, and we're gonna

shut you down for good !

For good, cancer merchant !

[ Chanting ]

Cancer merchant ! Cancer merchant !

Who's leading this mob ?

[ Coughing ]

That guy.

- [ Coughing Continues ]

- [ Woman ] Freeze !

Let's see some credentials.

Slowly !

- You're a Chewlies gum representative ?

- [ Man ] Chewlies ?

You're stirring up anti-smoking

sentiment to, what, sell more gum ?

Get out of here !

And you people-- Don't you have jobs

to go to ? Get out of here. Go commute.

You oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

A bunch of easily led automatons.

Try thinking for yourselves before you

pelt an innocent man with cigarettes !

[ Coughing, Clears Throat ]

Uh, pack of cigarettes ?

Don't you think you're taking

this a bit too hard ?

I have enough indignities in my life and

people start throwing cigarettes at me.

- At least they weren't lit.

- Oh, l hate this f***ing place.

Then quit.

You should be going to school anyway.

Please, Veronica, at this point,

the last thing l need is a lecture.

All I'm saying is, if you're

that unhappy, you should leave.

-I'm not even supposed to be here today!

-l know.

I stopped by your house. Your mom told

me you left, like, at 6:00 or something.

The guy got sick.

He couldn't come in.

- Don't you have a hockey game at 2:00 ?

- Yes.

And I'm gonna play like sh*t because

I didn't have a good night's sleep.

- Why'd you agree to come in then ?

- Hey, I'm only here until 12:00.

After that, I'm gone.

The boss comes in.

- Why don't you open the shutters?

Get some sunlight in here.

- Someone jammed gum in the locks.

- You're kidding.

- Bunch of savages in this town.
