SPEAKER_1 (0:33)

Galactic year 5199, the distant future. Stars burn as the laser war on Gorgon 6 rages on. While turmoil erupts at every corner, the citizenry does their best to cling to a sense of normalcy.

These are their stories.

SPEAKER_2 (0:56)

Canada to you. Could I have my usual?

SPEAKER_1 (1:01)

Usual?

SPEAKER_2 (1:02)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (1:06)

Double energy beam supreme?

SPEAKER_2 (1:08)

Yes. And maybe a move-in today as well. I don't know. I'm being bad. I shouldn't start the day with a move-in.

SPEAKER_4 (1:15)

No, you're absolutely welcome to. These were freshly slaughtered, so you have a good eye for move-ins.

SPEAKER_2 (1:21)

Oh, thank you.

I also have a good eye for partners. I had a good night last night. Sorry. I'm oversharing. This is so crazy.

SPEAKER_4 (1:31)

I didn't want to bring it up, but you are wearing the same thing that you wore yesterday. Am I? To get your energy beam.

SPEAKER_2 (1:39)

Am I? That is crazy.

SPEAKER_4 (1:43)

I don't want to make a big deal of it, but for some of the customers who are more comfortable with it, I do give a subtle, you go girl.

SPEAKER_2 (1:51)

Thank you. I do go.

Anyways, I move in my usual.

SPEAKER_4 (1:57)

Can I just say? This is also the first time, I mean, you've been coming in here for years. This is the first time that I've seen you do this.

Coming in yesterday's clothes, you know, to in the parlance of the times. Congratulations. I don't know if it was like a dry spell or if you do a lot on the weekends that I don't know about, but congratulations either way.

SPEAKER_2 (2:21)

Okay. I noticed my dry spell.

Well, I had an issue with my ink for a while. If you must know, it was a bit of a health issue with my ink.

SPEAKER_6 (2:31)

Oh, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_4 (2:33)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (2:34)

I had premature ink and.

SPEAKER_6 (2:37)

You were thinking, yeah, too soon. I was thinking too soon.

SPEAKER_2 (2:40)

But my confidence is back.

SPEAKER_4 (2:42)

Is back. You know what? I always say better too soon than not at all.

SPEAKER_2 (2:47)

I completely agree. And you know, I'm so sorry to be oversharing like this. I feel like baristas and tentacle cutters are the ones who know all my secrets.

SPEAKER_4 (3:00)

Tentacle cutters. Tentacle cutters. Got it. Yes. Oh, no. I mean, yeah, honestly, girl, it is totally... You honestly share way less than most people.

SPEAKER_2 (3:11)

Yeah. What is it about your face? I just feel like you're just... I see you every morning. I just... There's like an intimacy to this. I'm holding up the line. I'm holding up the line.

SPEAKER_4 (3:20)

It's fine. People don't... Honestly, it's because I'm a Londrian, you know, and my race after they, you know, genetically altered us.

SPEAKER_2 (3:29)

Genetically altered you, yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (3:31)

Exactly. We have to do good and spread cheer, you know?

SPEAKER_2 (3:34)

I know.

SPEAKER_4 (3:34)

That's kind of our whole bag. That's why I love working here. Cause I get to help people have a great breakfast.

SPEAKER_2 (3:41)

That's gorgeous. And can I have the Mufin extra cold, please?

Like as cold as you can get it.

SPEAKER_4 (3:48)

Yeah. Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_2 (3:50)

It's comforting. That's what my parents used to do.

SPEAKER_4 (3:52)

No, yeah. We can get it. It's gonna be like 30 minutes to get it like really cold. Is that okay?

SPEAKER_2 (3:58)

I got time. Okay.

SPEAKER_4 (3:59)

Here, that is going to be $4. And that's what we call them.

SPEAKER_2 (4:06)

Okay. I thought it might be on the house because it's a special occasion, but that's absolutely no problem. I'm happy to.

SPEAKER_4 (4:11)

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_5 (4:11)

We can put it on the house. No, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_4 (4:13)

You've been coming here for so many years, and this is the first time that you've, you know, successfully inked.

SPEAKER_2 (4:19)

Yeah, we can put it on the house.

SPEAKER_5 (4:20)

Let's make this on the house.

SPEAKER_4 (4:21)

I have to ring a bell and sing a song.

SPEAKER_2 (4:23)

Oh, no. Never mind.

SPEAKER_7 (4:24)

Would I comp it? I have to do it.

SPEAKER_4 (4:26)

If that's okay.

SPEAKER_7 (4:26)

Then I would rather pay. Then you'd rather pay, because it's just $4.

SPEAKER_2 (4:29)

Yeah, it's just $4. Yeah. Of course, it's a no-brainer.

The star is shining. I'm paying $4 for my cold, cold muffin.

SPEAKER_4 (4:37)

And your double energy bean.

SPEAKER_2 (4:39)

And my double energy bean. And I am going to get out of your way. But it was so nice seeing you, and I'm holding up the line, but I will see you tomorrow.
