Highly qualified worker on strike at the organic raw materials processing plant

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Why don’t you leave me alone for once? You’re boring and annoying me.

WORKER

Am I annoying you? Man! Do you realize I’m in trouble? I’m sick and you don’t help.

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Why should I help you? If you don’t want to work, I don’t need you.

WORKER

Well, we’ve known each other for years. I have helped you so many times, and you like this. That’s why.

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

I’ve never helped? You worked for me. I compensated you fairly. I don’t see the problem?

WORKER

This is exactly the root of the problem! While I was working, I was good for you. And now, when I’m sick, you are turning your back on me? Should I just drop dead now? Strike! Strike! Strike! I have some rights too, you know.

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Who are you kidding with? I have no more use for you and that’s it. It’s time to part ways.

WORKER

And where is my insurance? My labor rights. The truth is nobody needs a used workhorse. That’s it.

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Stop whining. It is what it is, accept it as inevitable.

WORKER

What else should I do? I have tried to draw your attention to the problems in this department several times. And what were you doing? I used lines of communication, which you blocked. You didn’t answer the calls. Should that be my fault too?

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

It doesn’t matter anymore. Just stop it. What you are doing is unbearable. You disturb me in my work and life. And you know, you’re rotten to the core.

WORKER

How could I stop? You’re sending mixed signals. You don’t need me, and you still keep me aside, you use me against my will and beyond my capabilities.

And every time I raise my voice you threaten that the deal between us is over. And when I shut up, you continue as usual, and when I’m sick like this, you put more work on me than when I was healthy. Well, I won’t be silent anymore, we will solve this today. You say I’m broken but in fact…

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

It’s over. The end.

WORKER

Yes, now you have decided to poison me. Nazi! What is that? Zyklon-B?

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

I’m not talking to you. You’ll get it now.

WORKER

So here we are. You’re bringing in reinforcements, right? Coward. You don’t have the guts to do the dirty work yourself, you call for help.

Hey! Brothers! So look what they do to an honest worker.

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Shout all you want, no one can hear you. Another minute and your career is over.

WORKER

Help me people! This is violence! Shame on you, you piece of garbage. The killers. You are only strong when there are more of you. Brothers, why are you silent? Don’t you see what they are doing to us? Bastards strike-breakers. You will all end like me. To the last one! This guy will replace you with inanimate devices.

Come to your senses! Now is the time to raise our voices or it will be too late when one by one…

A NERVOUS EMPLOYER

Good. You’re finally done.

DENTIST

It’s done. He didn’t give in until the end. So sick and broken, and so much fight in him. Look how big that tooth was.

Sister, flush the drain.
