Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:25 Explanations: 3:00 Fast dialogue: 14:23 Tim: Damn it! Pam: What’s the matter? Tim: It’s this copier. My original didn’t come out of the feeder and there’s a paper jam. Pam: Let me see if I can clear it. This machine is really temperamental. Tim: Tell me about it. Pam: Okay, I found your original, but it’s stuck. I’m afraid if I pull too hard, it’ll tear. Tim: Let me try. I got it! Okay, I need to shrink the first page and adjust the contrast so that it’s more readable. Then I need to enlarge the second page. After that, I need to make 20 collated copies. Pam: Oh, oh, don’t look now, but the toner light is on. You’ll need to put in a new cartridge. Tim: Is there anything else that can go wrong with this stupid copier?! Pam: Don’t tempt fate. It could be worse. The whole thing could break down! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
