• Ben Harris : [Thinking to himself]  Up at seven, brush your teeth, wash your face, out of the house, into the subway, off to work... Imbeciles. Sheep! Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa sheep!

  [Peter comes up behind him and grabs him around the shoulder] 

  Pete Copolla : Hi.

  Ben Harris : Hi.

  Pete Copolla : How you doin'?

  Ben Harris : So-so. You?

  Pete Copolla : OK, OK. So, how's the little lady?

  Ben Harris : What little lady?

  Pete Copolla : Your wife.

  Ben Harris : No wife. I don't have a wife.

  Pete Copolla : You sure?

  Ben Harris : Sure, I'm sure! If I had a wife, she'd be living with me, wouldn't she?

  Pete Copolla : OK, don't take offense, Jaime.

  Ben Harris : 'Jaime'? What Jaime?

  Pete Copolla : Your name isn't Jaime Schultz?

  Ben Harris : This is incredible! It's really incredible!

  Pete Copolla : Jeez, I could have sworn! What's your name?

  Ben Harris : None of your damn business. I've been seeing you for twelve years. You still don't know my name. You don't even know if I'm married or not. Alright, Arnie Greenfield, I got your number.

  Pete Copolla : 'Arnie Greenfield'? Hey, what are you talkin' about? My name's Peter Copolla!

  [Ben walks away disdainfully. Peter runs across the street after him] 

  Pete Copolla : Hey!

  [He whistles] 

  Pete Copolla : My name's Peter Copolla!

  [He continues whistling and chasing after him, into a revolving door, but doesn't catch him. Ben emerges wearing his postman outfit] 

  Ben Harris : [to himself]  'Jaime Schultz'! Twelve years on the job and I'm Jaime Schultz! Anonymous, unknown, dehumanized by the processes of a mechanized society, brushed aside like a cockroach.
