MANNY: Gary's gone.
BUFFY: Gary. Oh, the guy that helped me out at the counter yesterday?
MANNY: He didn't show up this morning.
BUFFY: Well, shift's just starting.
MANNY: He was supposed to unlock early this morning. Didn't show. Pull his card.
BUFFY: Well, I'm, I'm sure, you know, he's just late. He didn't seem like he was leaving.
MANNY: I'm moving Timothy to counter. You're on grill.
BUFFY: Me?
MANNY: I've been watching you.
BUFFY: B-but I-I don't know how to grill.
MANNY: Just think. This is the last day you'll ever be able to say that.
