Summary[]
The short opens with Joel at a urinal when a mugger holds him at gunpoint demanding his wallet. Joel claims that he can't get it due to the fact that stopping will burn and he can't let go because he's "not a straightshooter". While the mugger tries to retrieve Joel's wallet from his pocket a police officer makes his presence known and attempts to place the mugger under arrest. Tensions raise when a janitor enters and a disagreement occurs over his nationality. When a broom drops, the police officer and the mugger shoot with the janitor being the only one not caught in the crossfire. The short ends with the janitor cleaning up the blood.
Trivia[]
- The song playing when the man is listening to on his headphones is "I Say Ooh" by Jeff Williams featuring Sandy Casey. The song had previously been featured in the Short Stand Alone.
- The short was referenced (and slightly played) in an episode of How To.
