A woman walks into Bloomingdale's, and ignores the people on the street who try to sell things. She does give a quarter to a quiet nun just inside the building. She overhears gossip about breakups, and shuts down a strange woman who tries to get her to go home and read a book rather than shop. Another woman with a dog appears at the same rack, and they chat about how husbands are terrible but lovers are worthwhile. The woman goes to try on a few shirts in a dressing room, and hears a couple having sex in the room next to her. When she tells the saleslady, the saleslady responds that that dressing room isn't under her jurisdiction, and the woman walks away. On her way out, the woman who chastised her for not reading is busy chastising everyone on the escalators for shopping. She is eventually pulled away by security.
