Transcript

The same tall thin customer in the beige raincoat and drooping grey beanie is now near the front sliding door, half-turned to leave and holding his canned coffee. He glances back over his shoulder and taps his blank-faced wristwatch. The dark, empty street is visible through the glass. His watch is somehow still reading the same time — the eeriness deepens. CUSTOMER: 'Still 3:15 for me.'
