Jefferson Regional Medical Center, Whitehall.
Two women in their late 40s are walking down the hall away from the mammography department:

Woman: It’s boobies that make Post Boobie Bran so wonderful.
It’s boobies that make Post Boobie Bran so marvelous.
It’s boobies that make Post Boobie Bran spectacular.
More boobies! Lots more boobies!
More boobies than you have ever seen before!
If you like boobies — plump, juicy boobies — you’ll like Post Boobie Bran more!

La Prima Espresso, Strip District, Closing Time.
The La Prima baristas are closing up the shop, and a waitress from the adjoining bakery, Il Piccolo Forno, has come over to take a break and get a cup of coffee:

La Prima Girl, pouring a cup of coffee: How did everything go today? Were you guys busy?
Il Piccolo Forno Girl: Yeah, it just never stops over there.
[She pauses to light a cigarette, takes a deep drag, and blows an enormous puff of smoke into the air]
Il Piccolo Forno Girl: That place is going to kill me.

Morton’s of Chicago, Downtown:

A tipsy, overweight Woman is aggressively flirting with an older Guido in a suit, who seems ambivalent about the situation. The woman lights up a smoke:

Guido: You know, smoking’s really bad for you.
Woman: When I go back on the anti-depressants I’m supposed to be on, I’ll quit smoking.
