Woman: Maybe a taxi will stop for us cause I'm pretty. --30th & 7th Man: Well, at least we don't have to walk very far to work. I feel sorry for all the people like nurses who still have to work and have to get up like 4 hours earlier. Woman: I just hope the Korean lady makes it to the salon. It's moustache day. Man: Moustache day? Woman: Yeah, the day my moustache gets waxed. Very important. --Madison Square Park Girl: Oh, I never realized walking sucks so much! I am so out of breath! Guy: Yeah, well, that will happen when the buses stop running. Girl: Ugh, I know. And why are they striking anyway? Guy: Well, I heard it was because the workers think New York girls like you are too thick. --75th & York Overheard by: Miles Ryan Chick on cell: I'd rather sell my pussy than put up with this shit! Fuck, all this to get on the damn train! --LIRR Girl: So okay, it's a transit strike, there's gotta be some good that comes out of it. Like, they should use the time to get down there and fix everything. And clean up the rats and the garbage. Guy: ...Who do you think is gonna do that? Transit workers, right? Girl: Yeah!...Oh. --Fort Greene Police tape blocks entrance into the subway. Girl #1: Oh, thank God they have that there. As if I really thought I was getting on the E train. Grl #2: Well, some people might not know. Girl #1: Bullshit. That is fucking gay. --23rd & 6th Hipster girl: I can't believe this. Even with the strike, I have to call in and pretend to be telecommuting. Hipster guy: Hey! I have to pretend to be academic. Hipster girl: I have to fake accounting numbers. Hipster guy: I have to feign interest in boring topics and then pretend I know enough about them to say something of interest. --Williamsburg White guy on cell: Talk quickly. I only have 29 more blocks until I'm home. --50th & 8th Cop on megaphone: There is no transit strike in Boston, Philadelphia, or Washington DC. If you would like to get away from the strike, Amtrak entrance is at 33rd and 8th. For true New Yorkers, enter LIRR here. It'll be over soon, folks. --33rd & 7th Old lady: Can you put that cigarette out before you burn someone? Chick: No way, the transit strike isn't going to stop me from smoking...Can you believe her? Complaining just because she thought I was going to burn her fur coat. If anybody should have been complaining it should have been the woman in front of me whose face I just blew smoke in. --31st between 7th & 8th
