Rachel: Oh! Hey, Mr. Treeger.

Mr. Treeger:: Hey.

(Rachel opens the trash chute, winces 5 at the smell, and throws the garbage bag in. She then tries to throw the pizza box in, but since it抯 so big she jams it into the opening and it prevents the door from closing. She then turns around too see Mr. Treeger watching her.)

Mr. Treeger:: What are you doing?

Rachel: Ummm. Oh! I抦 sorry. (She grabs the box and offers him a piece.) It抯 a little old but?

Mr. Treeger:: No! You抮e clogging 4 up the chute that I spent a half-hour unclogging!

Rachel: I didn抰?I never said that.

Mr. Treeger:: You think you could make a mess and the big man in coveralls will come in here and clean it up, huh? Well, why don抰 think of someone else for a change?

Rachel: (starting to cry) Okay, I抦 sorry. (Runs out still carrying the pizza box.)
