Cathy Dunlan : I can't take much more of this!
Frankie Dunlan : Much more of what?
Cathy Dunlan : This! Living like rats! I'm starving! The baby's starving!
Frankie Dunlan : So? I'm hungry too.
Cathy Dunlan : Then do something about it!
Frankie Dunlan : What do you want me to do?
Cathy Dunlan : Get a job!
Frankie Dunlan : There are no jobs!
Cathy Dunlan : Then look for one!
Frankie Dunlan : I am! It's not just us, it's the whole country! There's a recession on!
Cathy Dunlan : The whole country manages to eat! You're out on the streets every day like a zombie! You're not looking for a job! You're waiting for the world to end!
Frankie Dunlan : Hey, good! That should be any day now!
Cathy Dunlan : Go ahead and make jokes, but it's true! You don't care about us! You're off on another planet somewhere! It's not fair! It's just not fair!

Welfare Worker : It doesn't look any better, Frankie. There's nothing here for you. Let's see... there are some computer jobs. There's an engineering apprenticeship opening...
Frankie Dunlan : I'll take it!
Welfare Worker : You can't. They want experience. You don't have the skill. That's just the problem, you don't have any skills.
Frankie Dunlan : Isn't there anything else? Check again.
Welfare Worker : [looking at some papers] The waiting list for manual labor is still two weeks. Why don't you go back to school? Attend a community college? Learn a trait?
Frankie Dunlan : I've got a family to support. And all social programs have been cut. What do you expect me to do?
Welfare Worker : There is nothing I can do. You can keep coming here or can go to welfare, but I doubt they will do anything because they keep cutting back on handouts. I don't know what else to tell you.
Frankie Dunlan : Tell me some good news.
Welfare Worker : It's 1:30pm.
