[Birds chirp.
Upbeat music plays throughout.]
[A door opens off-screen
to the left.]
JASON: Yessss.
JASON: That's it. THAT'S it...
JASON: You've got this.
You can do it...
JASON: No... No, don't.
JASON: Come on!
JASON: [sighs heavily]
[flatly] Welcome to the 
Multiplex 10 Cinemas.
How can I help you.
CUSTOMER: One for
"Ready Player One," please.
JASON: Did you have any... questions 
about the self-help kiosk?
CUSTOMER: No, I'm good.
JASON: Ten dollars.
Say, didn't you just see "Ready 
Player One" yesterday?
CUSTOMER: Yeah, but I just had 
such a good time, and I wanted 
to relive those memories.
JASON: Enjoy your fan-wanky
pop culture references.
CUSTOMER: Thanks!
WOMAN'S VOICE [from off-screen]:
Hi, Jason! Neil wanted m e to--
JASON: I don't get it, Sunny...
I don't want to talk to the customers.
The customers don't want to talk to me.
And we JUST got those brand new 
self-help kiosks in--
perfectly suitable options for 
us to completely avoid 
interacting with each other--
--and yet...
They persist.
SUNNY: I don't know...
Those machines are pretty 
confusing!
JASON [incredulous]: They're
way simpler than THESE things.
You've worked box office before.
SUNNY: Sure, but I had two 
months of training first!
JASON [quietly]: “Months”?
SUNNY: Besides, some people just
like a personal touch!
JASON: I don’t! This job would be so much better
if I didn't have to talk to people...
Or look at people...
Or be around people...
SUNNY: Which people?
JASON: All of them.
Literally all people. Ever.
SUNNY: Ohhh. If you
think about it...
...using the self-help kiosk is 
kinda like texting?
JASON: what
SUNNY: With the kiosk, you can buy
a ticket without interrupting anyone.
Coming up to the box office is like when people
actually call you on your phone.
JASON: ...Huh! Yeah!
SUNNY: Y'know...
I'm not sure what it is...
But a lot of times when
I work box office,
[happily] people start to walk 
up to me--
[sad] but then they go to the 
self-help kiosk instead!
JASON: Show me.
[A door opens off to the right.]
JASON: Quickly.
JASON: Quickly.
SUNNY: Oh!
SUNNY: Oh!
Hiii! Welcome to the
Multiplex 10 Cinemas!
What can I help you with today?
GRUMPY OLD MAN: [grumbles]
[more grumbling]
[still grumbling]
JASON: You buy that ticket!
JASON: YEAH!
Holy shit, that was amazing!
Is THAT why you act so freakin' 
happy all the time?
SUNNY: Nooo, that's because
I have deep-seated anger issues
and an intense desire to be 
loved by everyone!
[echoing] Ev-ery-one...
["Multiplex 10 Theme" plays.]
JASON [in a terrifyingly over-friendly voice]:
Welcome to the Multiplex 10 Cinemas!
What movie would you like
to see on this exceptionally
lovely day today?
WOMAN: Mmmaybe we should
just use the self-help thing?
MAN: Yeah.
JASON [in agony]: My face
hurts so much...
