Dean Berdusis
Jimmy Clay (Lawrence Grimm), a bartender at a classic Chicago tavern, begins a typical quiet afternoon shift lost in his crossword puzzle . Soon enough, his first patron, William (Danny Goldring), drifts in, a worn and sullen old man who has much to say about the modern state of being. While the patron prattles on, Jimmy becomes acutely irritated by this man's demand that things be done so particularly, or that otherwise, "things are lost." The bombastic entrance of a cellphone-addicted day-trader only intensifies a developing crisis, fueled by a maddening drink request that propels the bartender to wit's end.
