SCENE: Lobby of a downtown Citibank. The bank manager -- an officious, middle-aged woman in a dark blue business suit -- is talking to two young employees in sloppy shirts and cheap ties.

WOMAN: I just read this really inspiring story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to do, and Everybody was asked to do it. But Everybody didn't do it, because he thought Somebody would do it. Then Anybody said he could do it, but Nobody did it. And Nobody said --
