Transcript
Inside Hawthorne Family Butchers, an older man and woman stand behind a counter displaying cuts of meat. A red-haired woman gestures toward the display while a black-haired woman in a dark outfit and jeweled headband stands beside her; a woman in a broad-brimmed hat holds up a phone. Red-haired woman: “And here is where everyone gets their meats.” Black-haired woman: “And their cholesterol, I would imagine.”
