[While sorting letters in the mail room]

Norville Barnes:
Say, what do you do when the envelopes too big for the slot?

Ancient Sorter:
Well, if you fold 'em, they fire ya. I usally throw 'em out.

Norville Barnes:
Just got hired today.

Ancient Sorter:
[coldy] Terrific.

Norville Barnes:
You know, entry level.

Ancient Sorter:
Tell me about it.

Norville Barnes:
But I've got big ideas.

Ancient Sorter:
I'm sure you do.

Norville Barnes:
For instance, take a look at this sweet baby. [Shows a drawn circle on a piece of paper] I developed it myself. Yessirie, this is my big ticket upstairs. [Ancient Sorter looks at Norville, confused] You know, for kids.

Ancient Sorter:
Terrific.

Norville Barnes:
So, it sees how I won't be working in the mailroom long.

Ancient Sorter:
No, I don't guess you will be.

Norville Barnes:
How long you been here?

Ancient Sorter:
Forty-eight years. Next year they move me up to parcels... if I'm lucky.
