On duty, a security guard checks on resident Ms. Walsh after a disturbance and offers help. She warns him that Curtis's crew answer to the powerful Mr. Sutton, but he insists he can handle any retaliation. Ms. Walsh pressures him to drink, arguing his job is to serve residents and threatening poor service if he refuses. He relents; she then belittles his status and mocks involvement in upper-class matters. After he admits she is beautiful and drinks, she abruptly tells him "Take me then," leaving his immediate, compromising choice unresolved.
