Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

BEEMER: Suzie’s not here.
BENZ: Dude, it’s already 10 am. She shoulda been here three hours ago! Her ass is so fired.
BEEMER: We can’t fire her.
BENZ: Why not? She’s an intern, not a union member.
BEEMER: Suzie quit.
BENZ: Quit?! Why? When?

Written & Directed by Freddy J. Nager
Starring John Deschamp & Meghan McCabe
