Jessica: Hello, I’m Jessica, can I help you?
Customer 1: Oh, can you help me? I’ve been waiting, along with the fifty-plus people in here for over an hour.
Jessica: Please calm down, sir.
Customer 1: I will not calm down. It’s bad enough that I have to come here to make a
payment on my car, but to....
Jessica: Hold on just a minute.
Customer 1: No....don’t go away.
Jessica: Just one moment.

Beverly: Okay, honey, what’s wrong?
Jessica: Bev, this man filled out the wrong form.
Beverly: Oh yeah, this is the wrong form. The form you were supposed to fill out is a over here.
Customer 2: Well, this is the form that I was given. Surely, you can look over this
mistake, I really need to get to my daughter’s play.
Jessica: No need to get snippy with us. We have a rough job here.
Beverly: Yeah, so just fill out this new seventy-four page form and we’ll get you into our system for payment.
Customer 2: Uh, Bev, I’ve been sitting here for over....
Beverly: Uh, OK, don’t call me Bev. She can call me Bev. She is my friend. You can’t
even call me Beverly.
Customer 2: Look, I’m sorry. It’s just that...
Beverly: You don’t call me anything, alright? Look, I think the phone’s ringing.
Jessica: Yeah, I hear it, too.

Customer 2: For the love of God, no. Please come back. Jesus!!!!!

Announcer (voice): USA Today says, “DMV is a true reality show that can get under your skin with lots of tension!”

for their numbers to be called for several seconds with no sound)
(black screen once again)
Announcer (voice): The New York Post says, “Riveting! As close to the real thing as you can get!” Peter Travers says, “I felt like leaving the room, I was so frustrated! Then, I realized, I was at home, and that this really wasn’t happening to me! Truly brilliant reality at it’s best!”
(clip of Jessica and coworker eating at a lunch table in the back, not saying a word to each
other; at the same time, screams can be heard from the open area but not seen: most
notably angry customers)

Customer 3: I just came for my license.

Customer 3: I don’t know. I just said I needed a license. I think you need to take my
picture or...
Jessica: Just fill out this form, then we can take your picture.

Customer 3: What the...?
Jessica: When you’re done, just get back in line, and we’ll see what we can do for you. Bye now.
