Angry Customer

INT.PALME D'OR-BOX OFFICE

          We see MICHAEL casually leaning on the box office
          counter as two customers walk up.

                              CUSTOMER
                    "Two for Babel."

          Michael prints tickets.

                              MICHAEL
                    "Twelve fifty."

          Customer hands fifty three dollars through the
          slot.

                              MICHAEL
                    "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, twenty-"

                              CUSTOMER
                        (Interrupting Michaels counting)
                    "Thirty fifty."

          Michael goes back to counting.

                              CUSTOMER
                        (Interrupting again, a bit annoyed)
                    "I gave you fifty three. You give me
                    thirty fifty.."

          Customer debates the amount of change with friend
          while Michael goes back to counting.

          Customer bangs on the window.

                              CUSTOMER
                        (Angrily)
                    "Were going to be late! What are you
                    doing! You have it right there! Thirty
                    fifty!"

          Michael angrily grabs thirty fifty and tosses it
          through the slot along with the tickets.

                              CUSTOMER
                    "Theres only one ticket."

                              MICHAEL
                        (Annoyed)
                    "Two."

                              CUSTOMER
                    "Theres one."

          Michael grabs the two tickets, separates them and
          tosses them back.

          As the customers walk into the theater FERNANDO
          walks in.

          Michael grabs a pen and paper and calculates the
          change.

                              MICHAEL
                    "Fucking bitch. She was banging on the
                    glass and yelling at me for thirty
                    fifty."

          Michael finishes the calculation.

                              MICHAEL
                    "I knew she was wrong. It was forty
                    fifty. Whatever it's her fault."

          The door to the box office opens and the manager
          LIZ comes through. We see the customer behind her.

                              LIZ
                    "Which one gave you the change?"

                              CUSTOMER
                        (Points at Michael)
                    "That one."

          Liz comes in and closes the door.

                              MICHAEL
                    "She needs ten more dollars. She was
                    yelling at me for thirty fifty and
                    banging on the glass."

                              LIZ
                        (Laughing)     
                    "Oh,ok"

          Liz takes money out of the register and exits the
          box office.

                              MICHAEL
                    "Damn, I wanted that ten."

                                                            END.
