JEDIDIAH > Stop distracting me. Look at this photo. Look at her hair. She hated this place. Said it smelled like old feet. But she worked the register every Friday. LEO > Why did she stay? JEDIDIAH > Because it was *ours*. Leo, you’ve been working hard. If the board denies the landmark status... I want you to take the deal. LEO > What? JEDIDIAH > I’m tired, kid.
