A scene from The Hudsucker Proxy 1994
Norville Barnes

Say what do you do when the envelopes too big for the slot?

Ancient Sorter

Well, if you fold 'em, they fire ya. I usally throw 'em out.

Norville Barnes

Just got hired today.

Ancient Sorter

Terrific.

Norville Barnes

You know, entry level.

Ancient Sorter

Tell me about it.

Norville Barnes

But I've got big ideas.

Ancient Sorter

I'm sure you do.

Norville Barnes

For instance, take a look at this sweet baby.

Norville Barnes

[Shows a drawn circle on a piece of paper]

I developed it myself. Yessirie, this is my big ticket upstairs. You know, for kids.

Ancient Sorter

Terrific.

Norville Barnes

So, it sees how I won't be working in the mailroom long.

Ancient Sorter

No, I don't guess you will be.

Norville Barnes

How long you been here?

Ancient Sorter

Forty-eight years. Next year they move me up to parcels... if I'm lucky.
