A scene from Chungking Express 1994
Cop 223

Any canned pineapple that expires on May 1?

Cashier

You know what day it is today?

Cop 223

April 30?

Cashier

Right. You think we sell outdated stock?

Cop 223

There's still two hours to go.

Cashier

Nobody would buy it. Get a fresh one.

Cop 223

People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?

Cashier

Buddy, I only work here. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading... How I wish cans wouldn't expire! It'd save me loads of work. You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!
