Technology and shaved cafe rats
Older woman, learning to use her smart phone.
Speaking at the phone loudly: "Save to favorites. Save to favorites"
Reading the small screen: "It says 'Can't find shaved chest.'"
Trying again: "Save to favorites.... Now it says 'Can't find shaved cafe rats.'"

Looking for good in everything
Two female college workers:
Woman with black hair: "I feel like I work in a phonebooth, all of the students talk on their cellphones all day outside my office. First they talk to their probation officer, and then they call their dealer..." Woman with short hair: "Well that's something good, at least it's not the same person."
