She's wearing a leather coat and carrying an expensive purse. Meanwhile, there's a couple of kids and mom/guardian type person standing by the ticket window looking at the choices and trying to figure out what to see. Volvo lady is waiting for her card to go through and she turns to one of the kids and holds out a tissue and says, "Don't worry I didn't use it."
The kid takes the tissue and stands there looking at her.
"So you can pick up your gum," she says.
There's a fresh hunk of chewed gum on the sidewalk by his feet.
She's not bitchy about it, more like she's saving from him from humiliation. "I wouldn't hand you a used tissue," she says as she puts her card and tickets in her purse.
The kid picks up the gum and stands there. Volvo lady and her expensive purse stride back to the car.
The mom/guardian says, "Well, throw it away."
