Turkish-owned pizzeria, 10:15 p.m.


One employee is seated in the dining area of the pizza shop, watching the Olympics on a flat screen TV recessed into wall near the cash register. Women's gymnastics. Vaulting.


Employee #1: She is 33. She is incredible! The human body doing. Incredible! Did you see? Her son had leukemia.

Employee #2 (walking out into the dining area stretching a ball of dough between his hands): Is that the? Yeah. Did you know her son had the cancer?

Employee #3 (chewing something as he walks over): Did you see that her son had leukemia or something?
