WHERE YOU ARE.
IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL.
I'M SO STOKED.
I GOT A JOB IN THE MOVIES.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY A MOVIE THEATER, IT'S STILL SHOW BUSINESS.
SHOW BUSINESS!
I'M SO EXCITED.
NOT THE SAME AS BEING ON THE SCREEN, BUT IT IS IN THE SAME BUILDING.
YES!
EXCUSE ME.
NO, GO AHEAD.
OKAY.
WHA- OOF!
EXCUSE ME.
SORRY.
HARRY.
BIANCA.
MAN: YOU MUST BE THE NEW RECRUITS.
Both: UH-HUH.
WELCOME TO THE THEATER.
WOULD YOU LIKE BUTTER WITH THAT?
HOW ABOUT A DRINK?
FIRST DAY?
YEAH.
YOU?
YEAH.
NERVOUS?
A LITTLE.
YOU?
A LITTLE.
MAN: SPEED.
SPEED IS THE KEY.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP RECORDS OF YOUR REFRESHMENT SALES EVERYDAY.
A BAR GRAPH IS THE WAY WE COMPARE RESULTS.
IF YOU WORK FAST, YOU CAN BECOME EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AND WIN FREE MOVIES AND REFRESHMENTS.
HARRY: HEY, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
GIRL: HI, I'D LIKE SOME JELLY BEANS.
HARRY: OH, JELLY BEANS.
TWO, THREE, OH, DO YOU LIKE CHEWY CANDY?
GIRL: NO, NOT REALLY BUT-- UH, NEVER MIND, NEVER MIND.
NO.
HARRY: ...CANDIES, CHOCOLATES AND PEANUT BUTTER?
Bianca: HERE YOU GO.
Harry: HA!
DONE.
POPCORN!
GET YOUR POPCORN HERE!
Patrons: SHH... POP- Harry: THAT'LL BE $12.95.
Girl: OKAY.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Harry: OH, THANK YOU.
WELCOME TO THE MOVIES.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME POPCORN?
HI.
CAN I HELP YOU?
HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CANDY?
MAYBE A SODA?
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU, ACTUALLY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
COME HERE!
WAIT!
Boss: OUR NEW RECRUITS HAVE DONE VERY WELL, SELLING MORE REFRESHMENTS THAN THE REST OF YOU SLUGS.
MISS BIANCA HAS A VERY NICE GRAPH.
THIS SHOWS HER TOTAL SALES FOR THE MONTH.
NOW, HERE'S HARRY'S GRAPH FOR THE MONTH.
WOW!
LOOK HOW MUCH TALLER IT IS COMPARED TO BIANCA'S.
WELL DONE!
BOY, YOU LOOK LIKE A WINNER.
(WEAK APPLAUSE) WAIT A MINUTE!
MAY I SEE THAT?
HARRY'S GRAPH IS IMPRESSIVE, BUT LOOK AT HIS SCALE.
IT INCREASES BY 1000.
HIS TOTAL SALES ARE $4000 DOLLARS.
HOWEVER... MY GRAPH SEEMS HALF AS TALL, AND THAT IS BECAUSE MY SCALE INCREASES BY 2000.
IT'S TRUE, MY BAR DOESN'T GO UP AS MUCH, BUT THE AMOUNTS REPRESENTED ARE THE SAME.
I SOLD $4000 DOLLARS WORTH OF REFRESHMENTS, THE SAME AS HARRY.
Boss: SHE'S RIGHT.
I SHOULD HAVE COMPARED THE SCALES FIRST.
WE HAVE TWO WINNERS.
