You're a Nasty Woman

EXT. 4/5 SUBWAY STATION- PM RUSH HOUR

An mass of people spills up the stairs of the auxiliary end-of-platform entrance to 4/5. Anne Altman approaches this mass with a "Jesus Christ," and a sigh.

INT. 4/5 SUBWAY STATION

Anne descends the stairs at a snail's pace with another sigh. Others turn around and go back up the stairs with a "Fuck this," but Anne presses on. As she gets closer to the turnstiles, she sees that one (of two) is out of order as is one of two Metrocard machines(explains the line. A tech is fiddling with the Metrocard machine whilst a Transit worker is standing next to the broken turnstile screaming at the top of her tits at the line of people, particularly a man standing off to the side with two dollars in his hand.

TRANSIT WOMAN
This is one of FOUR entrances! Use another entrance! If you don't have a Metrocard, turn around and use another entrance! There are THREE OTHER ENTRANCES! Turn around and use another entrance!

STRAPHANGER #1
(Unintelligable)

TRANSIT WOMAN
I SAID, GO BACK UP THE STAIRS AND USE ANOTHER ENTRANCE WITH A BOOTH ATTENDANT! This is NOT, I repeat, the ONLY ENTRANCE!

STRAPHANGER #1
But I have a broken leg.

ANNE
(looks to see if his leg is broken, can't tell, but he is holding out two dollars pathetically)

STRAPHANGER#2
He said he has a broken leg! YOU'RE A NASTY WOMAN!

TRANSIT WOMAN
This is one of FOUR entrances! Use another entrance! If you don't have a Metrocard, turn around and use another entrance! There are THREE OTHER ENTRANCES! Turn around and use another entrance!

STRAPHANGER#2
Why are you such a nasty woman? Why you gotta be so nasty? You're a nasty woman!

TRANSIT WOMAN
I am just doing my job. I ain't doin nothin' but my job, and there are three other entrances.

STRAPHANGER#2
He says he got a broken leg! Here, man, I got an extra Metrocard (hands Metrocard to Straphanger#1) You nasty woman! Ain't no reason for you to be so nasty!

TRANSIT WOMAN
...

ANNE
(goes through turnstile and approaches platform)

STRAPHANGER#1
(goes through turnstile)

STRAPHANGER#2
(goes through turnstile) NASTY WOMAN! You're A NASTY WOMAN!

TRANSIT WORKER
I am just doing my job.

STRAPHANGER#2
(from other side of turnstile) What's your name and badge number, if you don't mind me askin'?

TRANSIT WORKER
...

ANNE
(walks back down the platform back to the edge to see what's going on)

STRAPHANGER#2
Huh? I asked you, what is your name and badge number if you don't mind me askin'?
Huh? All quiet now, huh? Yeah.

TRANSIT WORKER
...(drifts away from the turnstile and turns her back to STRAPHANGER#2)

STRAPHANGER#2
Thought so. YOU ARE A NASTY WOMAN! No reason to be so nasty! This is America! Nasty woman! (he shakes head with a scowl as he walks down the platform past me)

ANNE
Right on.
