" In the cement truck myth, they tested the idea of blowing dried cement out of a barrel with explosives, but in the interests of science, someone had to see how long it takes the conventional hand-chipping way. That someone was Tori."
" So, we've nominated you to prove that it actually is possible to remove concrete from a truck by manual labor."
" What? So, did I miss a meeting when this decision was made?"
" Yeah. You missed that meeting, but that's okay. You know, we're all really proud of you for taking one for the team. See you later guy."
" Hey thanks."
" Nice."
" I know. I know what you're thinking. Why does he get all the best jobs? I must have done something to piss them off. I'm trying to remember what it was. Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! They don't want me to knock all of this out, do they?"

" I feel sorry for you, but you would have to do this for real."
" That's it. That's about an hour's work right there."

" Oh I think we have a better way."
" Three, two, one."
" [unk] Alright."
