Transcript
Cook:
Here's your sandwich sir. Have a nice day.
Geoffrey:
What is this? Rye bread? It tastes like cardboard.
Cook:
Sorry, sir. Next please.
Geoffrey:
Don't say 'next please'. You're not finished dealing with me.
Stranger 1:
Hey buddy, you heard the girl. Move on.
Geoffrey:
You know, you see these sandwiches on TV. They look so delicious.
Plumped up bread and the best ingredients...
Stranger 1:
It's just a sandwich buddy.
Geoffrey:
It's not just a sandwich, 'buddy'. It's a symptom of what's wrong with America.
Stranger 2:
Alright pal, it's time to leave. People are waiting.
Geoffrey:
I've been waiting my whole life. Today the wait is over.
*gunshot* <screams>
Everyone, just relax. Stay in your seats and no-one will be hurt.
We're going to have a little talk, about America...
Back cover
Geoffrey Logan is having a bad day. All his life, he's done what he's told - paid his taxes on time, followed the traffic laws, done his job quietly. And all the while, the world ignores and demeans him. But everyone has a breaking point, and one day Geoffrey snaps. Was it the heat? The news on the radio? Something his family said? Only one thing is for certain: it ends today. 1991. Rated R for violence.

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
