Lorraine and Buffy in “Doublemeat Palace”

Yeah?

Buffy

Hi. You must be the new manager. I'm Buffy Summers.

I'm Lorraine Ross. They called me in when Manny did his disappearing act. You hear about that? Guy just disappeared.

Buffy

Yeah. I think... I think that used to happen a lot around here.

Buffy Summers. I heard about you. Caused a big scene.

Buffy

Oh, yeah. Practical jokes, not really right for the workplace. I so get that now. Anyway, I just wanted to return my uniform.

Oh. Most people don't even bother.

Buffy

The Doublemeat Medley... is vegetables?

How do you know that?

Buffy

So I guess it's true.

Um, can you close the door? Have a seat. It's a formed and texturized, vegetable-based meat-like product, suitable for grinding. It's blending with large amounts of rendered beef fat for flavor.

Buffy

Wait. The secret ingredient in the beef is beef?

Buffy, you know something powerful here. Do you understand that? The Doublemeat reputation is built on a foundation of, well, meat. You can't spread this around.

Buffy

I get that. It's a valuable secret, isn't it?

Is there something you want?

Buffy

I really need money.

You want money?

Buffy

No. well, I mean, yes, but no. I... well, I want to work. See, I have zero money coming in, and there are expenses, and by the time I interview for a new job and get hired and go through a training process... I'd-I'd really like to not be fired anymore.

Well, I don't want anymore practical jokes. I mean it.

Buffy

I promise.

I'm a little shorthanded right now, and you're already trained. I think you cannot be fired.

Buffy

Thank you. That's-that's great, I can do the job. I promise that too.

I certainly hope so. I don't like short-timers, Buffy. I like people who want to be here. Maybe you didn't take this job seriously before, but from now on... See this? I want you to be shooting for this from here on out.

Buffy

Right. Here on out.
