WORKER: It\u2019s 6:37 AM. Let\u2019s begin hammering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND WORKER: Are we nailing anything in today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: No, we\u2019re just striking the bare, wooden and marble floors and walls with our hammers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND WORKER: I\u2019ll turn on the handsaw as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Great. Let it run by itself against that wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND WORKER: How hard are we hammering today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Boss wants us to alternate between hammering with great force and exceptionally great force. We take breaks when the receptionists downstairs leave the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD WORKER: Someone paged me about needing help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Yes, it is 6:38 AM and we need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: Don\u2019t worry, my workers are currently charging up the stairs as if there were a fire. Each one is running up as loud and fast as possible baning against everything possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND\u00a0WORKER: Your men all work out in the gym everyday? They seem so strong! Look at all those muscles. With those they can hammer even louder and harder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: And they never sleep. They can literally work all day and night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: We will need help deadlifting these oil drums filled with marbles. And the chainsaws. We took all the chainsaws and hammers we could find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD WORKER: Where should they go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: You can drop them right over everywhere. Make sure you are extra loud and bang against the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: That should at least take six more days of hammering and slamming things against the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND\u00a0WORKER: Great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Do you know the person in the hotel room next to our construction site? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: I have seen her. Some security officer. She doesn’t need sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: God, I hope so. Because we are super loud and annoying. But she looks like she is in good shape. Was at the gym last evening. Let’s hammer more. She can handle it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND\u00a0WORKER: Do you think we should tell her to change the room and that this construction will take some time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: Ah, no. If she sleeps less, she will probably get up earlier and work out at the gym even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND\u00a0WORKER: Sleep is overrated anyway. Who needs sleep? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: I wonder if she is already up. Well, she will be now…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Isn\u2019t she also a writer? I overheard a conversation in the lobby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND\u00a0WORKER: Jesus. Oh, of course she is. I overheard this as well. Walls are thin and have ears hahahahahahahahah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIRD\u00a0WORKER: You know what? I think I hate her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SECOND WORKER: Yes, me too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKER: Me three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
