Post Secret: "sorry the machine is broken" really means "I'm too damn lazy to help you"


Lights come up on Copy Center. Their are printers, and printer accessories, paper, and photo copiers for the customers to use. On each photo copier it says "6 cents black and white, 10 cents color, per sheet" It's very busy in the Copy Center. GUY sits behind counter on stool, next to the register. GUY works there, but instead of working he is play a game boy, and chews gum. CUSTOMER is trying to use the a photo copier, but it when nothing happens he tries to photo copy it again, and and again, and again, customer causes a jam, and tries to pry the papers from the machine, only to rip them. CUSTOMER is very flustered and pissed and walks up to GUY with papers in hand

CUSTOMER
[angry, not at GUY, but the machine]
Excuse me, but that stupid copier has eaten all the copies [throws ripped papers on counter] I'm not going to pay for these.

GUY has not looked up, he continues to play his game boy

CUSTOMER
[irritated, impatient]
Excuse me!

GUY
[still playing, not looking up]
yeah?

CUSTOMER
I said that the copier is jammed and messed up my copies, I'm not paying for them.

GUY
[still playing, not looking up
kay.

CUSTOMER
[angry, impatient]
So what are you going to do about the jam?

GUY doesn't say anything, or notice that CUSTOMER has spoken

CUSTOMER
[angry]
Hello???!

GUY
[still playing]
yeah?

CUSTOMER
[very angry]
I said, [loudly] what-are-you-going-to-do-about-the jam?!?!

GUY
[not taking his eyes of the game boy]
Oh, uh. [takes a piece of paper out from behind the counter, and hands it to CUSTOMER. it says "sorry, the machine is broken"]
Here.

CUSTOMER
[even angrier]
How is this going to help?

GUY
huh?

CUSTOMER
[insanely angry]
how is this going to help? Its just a piece of paper.

GUY
Oh yeah. Your right. [still not taking his eyes of his game, he takes out his gum and puts it on the back of the piece of paper.] Now put it on the machine, and it will be a sign.

CUSTOMER takes the paper. CUSTOMER then takes the game boy out of GUY'S hands and gently places in on the floor. He then proceeds to stomp on it over and over again, as GUY watches in horror. When he is finished he takes a breath, scoops up the pieces smiles, and places them on the counter. Then he takes the "sign" and slams it on the pieces.

CUSTOMER
[smiling]
Have a nice day.

CUSTOMER exits, lights fade.
