Sammy is in awe of Queenie. His hormones are running in overdrive and he looks around the store with dissatisfaction. He shudders to end up like the status-quo drones that inhabit the place. He shudders to end up like any of the men working there. Sam needs a shot at something different or something that will at least calm the raging angst surging through his veins.
