Scene Three
20 The sky is dark and business has slowed considerably at Manny's Family Market. VINCENT shakes BRANDON's hand, thanking him for his advice and training, and exits the store, and ALEXANDRA and BRANDON begin cleaning the front desk.

21 ALEXANDRA: So, how'd our new recruit perform?

22 BRANDON: He did surprisingly well, and he paid close attention to the methods I employed. He memorized produce codes and was enthusiastic about the entire experience—even when I asked him to return unwanted items to the shelves. You know, Alexandra, I think Vincent's going to be an excellent addition to the Manny's Family Market team.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
