Oh, let me guess. Because it's your damn job?
You are such a good listener.
Yeah, well, legally, I'm not allowed to wear headphones.
Oh! Time for news updates. (exhales sharply) Oh. Wow. That c- That can't be right. It says that SEPTA's demands went unmet, and they called the strike.
That's news to me.
(over walkie-talkie) Attention, drivers. The city failed to meet our very reasonable demands. We will be going on strike. Stand by for further updates.
Well, it looks like you gotta get out, Jacob.
Oh, my God. It- It's happening now?
Yeah, seems that way. Yeah. Gotta stand by the working man. Can you do that?
Proudly. I believe in you.
Do we got to get out?
Oh! How exciting! It's historic!
Do we got to get out?
No, no, no. You guys are good. Strike doesn't start 'til tomorrow. But for him, it starts today.
Wait! Billy!
