Tourist woman #1, staring up at glass elevators in atrium: Oh my god, look at that!
Tourist woman #2, gasping: Oh my god!
Tourist woman #3: Wow! Will you look at that!
Tourist woman #2: They got those lights on 'em! It's like The Matrix or something!
Tourist woman #1: Where's Martha*?
Tourist woman #2: I think she's over looking out the window.
Tourist woman #1: Okay... I guess we should go get her. [All stare silently for a moment.]
Tourist woman #3, reluctantly tearing her eyes away: Come on.
Tourist woman #1: Yeah, okay. Wow.
Tourist woman #2: Yeah.
