INSIDE OF AN ELECTRONIC SHOP
A guy is seen cleaning a TV screen as the news channel shows the latest news...
Reporter (TV): The Seven's Queen Maeve and Homelander made another heroic save today, stopping a hijacked armored truck on the streets of Brooklyn, then staying behind for a photo op with some very lucky fans.
Homelander: Nice to meet you.
Reporter (TV): Jean?
Newscaster (TV): Thanks, Jennifer. And now...
The same guy that was cleaning the TV earlier, is now carrying a box with a Bluetooth speaker to the counter, as he talks to a woman that wants to buy the item...
???: So, this is pretty much everything in one. Bluetooth speakers. It's in stereo, so you can put it all around your living room, have some fun with it. You said you have a standard cable box, right?
Woman: Uh-huh.
???: Okay, then I need to get you an audio transmitter, aptX Low Latency. It makes it so there's less audio lag, and it's got a standard optical in. And let's hook you up with thousand-meg HDMI. Let's go with this one. Uh, it costs a little bit more, but the carbon's way more conductive.
After making the sell, he puts a mouse back on its place. Hughie looks to his left and sees his boss on the counter. The guy takes a deep breath and walks up to his boss.
???: Hey, Gary. Um... I really need to talk to you about something.
Gary: Later, kid.
???: Okay. Cool. Later... you want, like... want, like, 30-30 minutes? Like, a solid 45?

The front door of the shop opens making the bell above it ring. A girl walks in and goes to the counter where the guy is working on something...
Girl: Excuse me, sir?
The guy stop what he was doing with a smile on his face...
Girl: Hi. I'd like to make an appointment for you to come over and... lay some cable.
???: Okay. Uh... oh, Robin. Oh, dear, dear, Robin. Um, that doesn't mean what you think it means.
Robin: Um, "laying cable" means sex.
???: No, "laying pipe" means sex. "Laying cable" means you want me to come over to your house and just take a big, old shit.
Robin: That's disgusting.
???: Well, okay. But you... Who-who said it, though?
Robin: Okay. Are you ready? Despite your best efforts, I'm actually still hungry.
???: I'm actually more hungry now.
The guy and Robin starts to exit the shop. Robin laughs at the guy statement...
Robie: Where are we gonna go after all this hot talk?
???: I don't know. More importantly, where are we gonna go to lay some cable afterwards? Geez.
After walking down the street after exiting the shop, Robin asks the guy something...
Robin: So, did you ask him?
???: Who?
Robin: Gary. Did you ask Gary for the raise?
???: Yeah. Yeah. It was... it was a... Look, it was a crazy day, and-and he was super busy, but tomorrow for sure. Yes.
