Compliance Page #2

Synopsis: At a fast food restaurant, the manager, Sandra, is having a bad day. Suddenly, she gets a phone call from a man claiming to be a police officer who has a complaint that one of her young female employees has stolen from a customer. At the orders of this authoritative sounding stranger, Sandra takes the apparent accused, Becky, to a back room to search her before she is picked up. Once there, the phone scammer manipulates the gullible personnel into participating in Becky's sexual humiliation that grows more twisted with every new sucker on the phone. Only when one final person has the conscience to revolt do they realize the crime they were tricked into, which the real police are hard pressed to solve.

Did you see Julio's apron?

Looks like he fell in the fryer,

for goodness' sake.

Yeah, well, who's gonna

talk to him? Not it.

Get him to change it.

Honest to God.

No, seriously, not it.

I'm not having a conversation

with that kid again.

When we get through the rush,

I'm gonna need you to cover for me for a bit.

I gotta call Gilmour,

tell him about the freezer.

You didn't call Robbie?

[sighs] I thought I would deal with it first.

Sandra...

Oh, tell me about it.

I don't know what I was thinking.

No clue.

[telephone rings]

Hey, Van. We're swamped.

Hey, babe. How's it going?

It's going swamped, like I said.

What's up?

Well, I know you're gonna

be there for a while still,

and I wanted to see

if it was okay with you.

Jim, from work,

he wants me to come by

and see his new deck,

have a beer with him.

All night?

No. No, just a few beers

while I wait for you to get off.

Yeah, babe. You don't have to have

my permission to hang out with your friends.

I know. Was just checking.

Okay. I gotta go.

We're swamped.

Just don't get too drunk, okay?

- Don't worry.

- Okay.

- All right. Bye.

- Bye.

[sizzling]

[ice clunks]

[slurps]

God.

I know that Frost Blender did not

just try and mess up my nail. Tcch.

Swear I wasn't even supposed

to be here right now neither.

I know. I need to set it normal.

I want Monday through Thursday,

Saturday, like I used to.

I know, right? They change it,

you can't make plans

or nothing, right?

If they don't stay normal about it,

when I'm working,

I end up waking up late,

and then I can't do anything that day.

You know, I just watch TV,

and it, like, ruins my days off.

Oh! Now that you say that,

I could see what you saying.

I could see that.

I'm always waking up late.

Yo, they wasting my days off and sh*t.

Tcch. They need to fix that shi--

SANDRA:

Let's watch the language, okay?

Connie, look at the condiment bar.

It's a mess.

We don't want it looking like that

if secret shopper comes, do we?

Kevin, get off the counter.

I asked you before to fill your toppings.

KEVIN:
No, I know. I----

- Go to the freezer and get some.

- Becky--

Don't you dare.

Becky, what did I say to you

about clean, clean, clean?

MARTI:
Sandra!

You got a phone call in the back,

a policeman.

[Beep 1

Hello. South End.

Yeah, this is Officer Daniels

with the police department.

Are you a supervisor?

Yes I am. I'm the manager.

What's your name again, ma 'am?

My name is Sandra Fromme.

Sandra. Okay, and you're

the manager. Good.

So I've got your regional manager,

Robert Gilmour, on the other line,

and he's told me to go ahead

and call you directly.

Right. So this is about the freezer.
