Episode Story
The scene opens up to Rex walking into a convenience store. He looks hungry and goes straight to the snack aisle. As he's browsing, he notices a large man standing in front of the snack section, blocking most of the items. Rex decides to wait and see if the man will move before trying to squeeze past him. After a few minutes, the man turns around and notices Rex standing behind him. "What do you want, kid?" he grumbles. "Just trying to get some snacks," Rex replies, trying to keep his tone light. "Well, you're going to have to wait until I'm finished," the man retorts. "I'm trying to decide what to buy." Rex sighs and looks at his watch. He's running out of time before his next mission. He decides to try a different tactic. "Hey, I have an idea," he says. "How about you pick out what you want, and then I'll go get my snacks while you pay for yours? That way, we can both get what we need without getting in each other's way." Doris looks at Rex suspiciously for a moment before shrugging. "Fine. But no funny business, got it?" Rex nods and moves past Doris to grab snacks. As he's grabbing a bag of chips, he notices a quarter on the ground. He bends down to pick it up and sees another one nearby. Figuring he could use some extra change for the vending machine outside, he starts collecting all the loose quarters he can find. After a few minutes, Rex looks up to see the man getting ready to pay for his snacks. Rex quickly grabs his own items and rushes to the front of the store. As he's paying, he realizes he has more than enough quarters for the vending machine. "Hey, you want some quarters?" Rex asks the man. The man looks surprised but amused. "Sure, why not?" Rex hands over a handful of quarters, and Doris smiles as She thanks him. "Thanks, kid. You're a weird one, but I like ya." As Rex walks out of the store, he feels a sense of satisfaction. It may have been a small interaction, but he managed to diffuse a potential conflict and even made a new acquaintance in the process. Just another day in the life of Rex Salazar.
