Tanya: Was that Jimmy?

Sadie: Yeah.

Tanya: Well, what did he want?

Sadie: Same thing as you, pretty much. He asked how I was doing and wanted to know if I was serious about quitting.

Tanya: What’d you say?

Sadie: Well, you heard, didn’t you, Tanya? I said yes.

Tanya: I was just making sure…It’s not going to be the same without you know. I mean, you me, Dave and Jimmy, we’ve been working together for over four years now.

Sadie: You knew this day would come sooner or later, Tanya. I mean I wasn’t planning on working there forever.

Tanya: I know. I mean, who would. I just thought we’d be together a little longer.

Sadie: Tanya, it’s not like we’re never going to see each other again. We’re still friends. Besides when I get myself together I might start looking into….what are you looking at? (Tanya is staring at the TV)

News Reporter: As you can see the pile-up is concentrated on the east side of the bridge, but due to the nature of the accident, traffic is slow-going in both directions. Police and rescue workers are doing their best to clear up the scene, but it could be a while yet before things are back to normal.
News Anchor: And you say, Dan, that the details of the accident are unknown at this time?
News Reporter: Well, they’re still in the midst of clearing things up so the rescue officials haven’t released any kind of statement yet, but it appears that a taxi lost control, swerved briefly into on-coming traffic and then crashed into the side of the bridge. That seems to be the cause of the pile-up, but beyond that details are sketchy. Fortunately, I have received a report that there were no serious injuries, and that those who were injured are being treated now…

Tanya: Shit! That’s the Front St. Bridge. Oh man, it’s going to take me forever to get back downtown now. I’m sorry, Sadie, I gotta go or I’ll be late. I’ll come by again tomorrow. We can have coffee or something.

Sadie: Sure. Take care, Tanya.
