Here’s a scene from this morning’s subway ride:

INT. “6″ LINE, SUBWAY CAR, MANHATTAN - MORNING

Presumably Homeless Man (PHM):
Pray for me, pray for me, I need somethng to eat. I’m hungry, I’m hungry, pray for me.

PHM begins to move through the car, jingling his coffee cup of change and waving a crutch.

PHM:
Pray for me, I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry…

As PHM approaches the middle of the car, JOBS MAN appears at the other end and begins to hand out flyers.

JOBS MAN:
I got jobs, I got jobs, I got jobs…who needs a job? Who wants a job? I got jobs, I got jobs, I got jobs…

PHM and JOBS MAN pass each other without comment and continue their schtick at the same time.

PHM: I’m hungry, I’m hungry, pray for me, I’m hungry…

JOBS MAN: I got jobs, I got jobs, I got jobs…

Both men leave the subway car at opposite ends.
