Dimly lit prison kitchen. It is after hours, and only a skeleton crew is on hand: RAY and ANGELA. They are inside the kitchen, but the spotlight is on TOM and GARY, who sit across from each other in the dining room just outside.

GARY: We wait until 2AM.

TOM: Well what time is it, genius?

GARY (looking at a watch that doesn't exist, as his wrists are bare): I don't know.

TOM (exasperated): What time do you get off work?

GARY: What time did I get off work? Uh, today's Friday, right?

TOM: No, it's Saturday. (shouting) WHO CARES WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS?
