Breakdown

PETER (Male late 20s), Black American. Restaurant busser/runner, easily the best at his job. A born New Yorker, lives uptown in West Harlem with his long-term girlfriend and daughter, four year veteran of the restaurant; his casually gruff fallback demeanor belies his deep moral convictions. He is rarely effusive and with the exception of rare outbursts, he is detached, cool, emotions always in check. Seemingly unshakeable.

JORGE, (Male late 20s) Mexican-born. Restaurant busser/runner. Immigrated from Puebla almost four years ago, lives in Corona. Short but maybe slightly taller than Pepe, reserved, a quiet maturity and deliberateness in his manner. Possesses a significant level of comfort/familiarity with the U.S. culture/people. A quiet sense of judgment comes from him at times; he is not so harmless as he may initially appear. Has been faithfully sending money home to his wife and children for the past four years.

PEPE (Male early 20s) Mexican-born. Restaurant busser/runner. Immigrated from Juarez three months ago, lives in Corona as well but in a different building. Short, eager, restless, lacking a poker face in all ways. He is excited and excitable in this new life in New York. His youth is apparent in his weakness for instant gratification and the shiny, the new, the cool, be it an object or relationship.

WHALID (Male mid to late 20s), Mexican-American. Restaurant busser/runner, has worked at the restaurant a few weeks, third generation Mexican-American (grandparents from Oaxaca, grew up in Coney Island) Might still live with his parents but he certainly does not advertise it and plans to get his own apartment as soon as he can. Carries a sense of knowing on any given topic, quick-tongued, above average height, handsome, identifies more with his Brooklyn upbringing than his Mexican heritage. His love of romantic conquests is a part of creating a respected adult persona for himself, as is trying to find work he can feel proud to do.
