Joe Lieber: Take a seat.
Thomas Bardo: Hi. I'm Thomas Bardo. Sorry about the clothes.
Joe Lieber: And how do you spell your name?
Thomas Bardo: B-A-R-D-O. Yeah, you'll probably see that I was a project manager. Very challenging job, but my company decided to downsize just before my benefits kicked in. You know how that is. Then the unemployment ran out. I thought I might have better luck in the city, but... you know how that goes.
Joe Lieber: You know, I can't seem to find you in the computer.
Thomas Bardo: Oh?
Joe Lieber: All right.
(He opens a drawer and takes out a form)
Joe Lieber: You take that, fill it out, and mail it in.
Thomas Bardo: Uh, I've already filled this out.
Joe Lieber: Well, you can't be in the computer until you fill it out and mail it in.
Thomas Bardo: But I've already mailed this in. That's how I got the appointment.
Joe Lieber: Well, you can't have an appointment until you're in the computer.
Thomas Bardo: But I have an appointment. It was at one, and I've been waiting for three and a half hours.
Joe Lieber: But you're not in the computer.
Thomas Bardo: But...
Joe Lieber: You're not in the computer. So, you fill out the 976, you mail it in to me, and I will make sure you get an appointment.
Thomas Bardo: Look, Mr. Lieber, this hasn't been a good day for me, you know. Can't you just take my word that I've already sent this in? Or put me in now, and...
Joe Lieber: Sir, look, um, if you're willing to follow procedures, we can work with you. If not... it's your choice.
Thomas Bardo: (Thomas sighs in defeat) Well, I guess I'd better fill this out, huh?
Joe Lieber: That's the procedure.
  • Scriptwriter John Strysik has stated that the last name of Stephen Rea's character - Bardo - comes from the Buddhist term for an intermediate or transitional state of being, and thus is a reference to the life-or-death situation Tom experiences.
  • When the Receptionist calls Thomas to his appointment, she mistakenly calls him "Mr. Brado." This suggests that the reason he is not "in the computer" is a clerical error on the part of the job agency.
  • Stuart Gordon:  The resident who gets yelled at by Rashid's girlfriend in the apartment hallway.
  • Based on a real event in 2001. Chante Mallard, a black woman in Fort Worth, Texas, was driving drunk and on ecstasy when she struck Gregory Biggs, a homeless man, who became lodged in her car's windshield. She then drove home, locked the car in the garage, and left Biggs to die. After bragging about "killing a white man" in the presence of an enemy who turned her in, Mallard was convicted of murder and evidence tampering and sentenced to fifty years in prison.
