~START~
The scene begins in the warehouse area of The Store. After stepping aside and waiting patiently for a forklift truck to pass by, Alice then recommences her journey to the cleaning cupboard. After watching this, a member of B&Q staff walks up to her. The following conversation ensues...
MEMBER OF STORE STAFF: Y'know, I've noticed that you always do that.
ALICE: (absently): Sorry, do what?
MEMBER OF STORE STAFF: (approving) Wait for the forklift. I've noticed that you always wait for it. Other people just chance it, squeeze through. I mean they shouldn't, because it's not safe; but they do. But not you. You always do as you're supposed to and keep your distance.
ALICE: (solemnly); Yes, well, I always have the greatest respect for anything that is big enough to crush me like a bug.
MEMBER OF STORE STAFF: (blinks. Nonplussed) ...Er...
ALICE: (smiles serenely)
MEMBER OF STORE STAFF: (doesn't know what to say. Blinks again. Walks off)
ALICE: (shrugs. Continues to cleaning cupboard)
~END~
