5th Smile

[keep_smiling]

[Action A: Maybe you work at the used car lot, or maybe you're just passing by. Either way, something is very noticeable about it: it's empty. Or rather, there's one car left, and standing in front of it is a drone couple, and a blonde man with a name tag - obviously an employee. The men shake hands and then the smiling couple get in the car and drive off in their beautiful new 195X Nash Rambler. The employee waves them off, a huge grin on his face.]

Enjoy! That car is guaranteed to put a smile on your face for a long time!

[Seems like the Smile Junkie speaks the drones' language. Elmer has managed to sell every car in the damned lot. He looks at the empty lot, satisfied. Of course, Mayfield will restock it in a day or so, but he doesn't know that.]

Okay then, I guess I'm done for the day.

[Action B: Time to share the wealth. Elmer walks into the diner and announces to everyone:]

Oi! Lunch is on me! Order whatever you like, I've got it covered. So smile, okay?

No point in overeating. I just want some meat and something to drink. This place doesn't server Curry, so I figured this would be the best thing.

[keep_smiling]

Curry? Ah, yeah, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? I suppose in the grand scheme of things, this stuff's pretty good. My "wife" makes me do all the cooking, so it's nice to not have to do it for a change.

[He thinks for a moment.]

That was something that I've been wondering for a while. Why are we placed in houses like this?

[keep_smiling]

Damned if I know, mate. I just got here a little while ago. I suppose it fits with this whole "1950s nuclear family" schtick they've got going on.
