W: Yes. Well now, let's think. What else?
M: What else is there? Well there's that huge wardrobe of yours. That's got to go somewhere.
W: What about over here-you know - across from the fireplace there, because then, in that little corner where it... where the wall goes back...look, over there. That'd do, wouldn't it?
M: Ok, well we'll put the word, be them then.

Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. "
Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.

A、being dismissed from the CTA

M: All right. So, what kind of place are you looking for?
W: Well, I’d like to share an apartment with one or two roommates within walking distance to school.
M: Okay, what’s your budget like? I mean how much do you want to spend on rent?
