True Story

Scene: A successful film producer eats granola in his Hollywood home. He is uptight and cruel. As he is leaving for work, he notices that the maid, who he doesn't really trust, has cleaned the bathtub and done a very good job. He walks to the kitchen, opens the refrigerator, and sees that a can of Sprite is missing. There were four cans in there last night and today there are only three. He knows this because he poured the fifth one into his vodka tonic when he got home from the golf club. Five minus one equals four. Obviously the maid has stolen a can of Sprite. The film producer decides to confront the maid. He gets very angry at her as he leaves the house, calling her a thieving wetback bitch. She will probably quit but he doesn't care, he will get someone who doesn't steal other people's property. As he drives to work he wonders if he was not a little too harsh with her.

At the studio, the set is ready for the shoot. It is a modern bathroom. The bathtub is big and white, but it has scuffs on the sides from where the delivery men brushed it up against a black painted background. The producer asks for the set designer. She is a young, pretty, Hispanic woman. He points out the scuff. She is apologetic and immediately begins cleaning the tub with some windex and paper towels. When she is done, she approaches the producer and shows him the gleaming tub. Wow! he thinks, she did a great job, and he is a little bit attracted to her. He thanks her for a job well done and tells her to take a break and grab herself a drink. She goes to the catering area and grabs a Sprite. As she does so, the film producer walks by her and ever so gently brushes her chest with his Rolexed hand.
