MAN: Hey.
WOMAN: Hey.
MAN AND WOMAN: (in unison) You want some action?
MAN: Damn. Thought I had a sale.
WOMAN: Me too.
MAN: Hey, do you mind if I go after the next customer? It’s been a really slow week for me.
WOMAN: Go ahead.
MAN: Thanks. Hello, sir!
SECOND MAN: Want some action?
MAN: (Sighs.)
SECOND MAN: (to woman) Want some action?

MAN: Guess what? I came up with a new profession. It’s called “carpenter.”
WOMAN: Is it sort of like “prostitute”?
MAN: No, it’s a totally different thing. I make things out of wood and sell them to other people.
WOMAN: Sell them? For what?
MAN: Sex, usually. I mean...my customers are all prostitutes.
WOMAN: Oh. Want some action?
MAN: Do you want some action?
WOMAN: I thought you said you were a carpenter now.
MAN: I’m not quitting my day job.
