While walking home from work, Lake Park Mall security guard Scott Thornton thought about his day. A shoplifter had outrun him, he had lost the keys to the golf cart, and a group of skateboarders had made fun of his weight. Things had not gone so well.

Scott was so deep in thought that he did not even notice that he had stumbled on to a movie set. Lost in thought, he passed by trailers, cameras, and stagehands, yet he was unaware of the scene around him. When he came out of his daze, he looked up and saw a man who was wearing a ski mask waving a knife at an old lady.

Wear that sweater that I got you," Bobby told her. Janet didn't know how to react, "Um… that sweater doesn't quite match these boots I want to wear. Is it cool if I just wear it another time?" Bobby huffed, "You know, Janet, this meal is going to be expensive. The least you could do is act like you appreciate my gift." Janet paused to think.
