New York Street Scene

It’s winter in New York. The trees have finally lost their leaves and a chilly wind whistles down Fifth Avenue, prompting shoppers to pull up the collars of their sleek designer coats. Christmas lights sparkle in the windows of Lord & Taylor. Three girls huddle together, waiting for a bus.

GIRL 1: My grandma told me if I don’t get a job or start going to school she’s going to throw me out on the street.

GIRL 2: Shit. That’s McStupid.

GIRL 3: That is some baby-back bullshit.
