Innocent Bystanders to Major Movie Moments, Pt. 2

Scene: A henpecked husband peers through the peephole of his cluttered apartment to investigate a commotion in the hallway.

Wife: (Yelling from another room) Well? What's going on out there?
Husband: There's some guy standing next to a ringing phone in Ms. Henderson's apartment. Whoa! Some other guy with sunglasses just shot him!
Wife: Who shot what?
Husband: Some guys, they look like FBI agents. Now they're leaving.
Wife: FBI? I told you Ms. Henderson's son was no good! Quick! Hide the motel towels!
Husband: Its ok, they're - Whoa! The guy just got back up!
Wife: What guy? Ms. Henderson's son?
Husband: I don't think that's...uh oh those FBI guys are coming back!
Wife: Oh no, they're going to ask about our cable! Quick, unplug it!
Husband: They're shooting at him again!
Wife: Flick the hallway lights on and off! Maybe that will make them stop.
Husband: The bullets just stopped in midair and fell on the floor!
Wife: Someone could fall down!
Husband: Wow! They're fighting really fast now! Holy cow! The guy just kicked the guy who shot him all the way down the hall!
Wife: Why did he do that?
Husband: Maybe he's mad because the guy shot him.
Wife: That's no reason to go kicking people down hallways. I mean, since he's ok and everything.
Husband: The FBI guy sure looks upset.
Wife: Well who wouldn't after getting kicked like that? Do you think we should call someone? Maybe that nice Jack Stone from Channel 7?
Husband: The guy just jumped into the FBI guy's chest!
Wife: He's always looking out for the elderly with the Fraud Busters team. I'll bet he could get that loose carpet fixed before someone breaks their neck.
Husband: The FBI guy exploded! And the other ones ran away!
Wife: Well, that's your tax dollars at work for you. Jack Stone could get to the bottom of it!
Husband: The guy....just.....went into the phone.
Wife: Who's on the phone?
Husband: (visibly shaken) Did you ever get the feeling that the whole world is just an illusion perpetrated by some sinister force that presents a false reality in order to keep us docile and obedient?
Wife: What are you going on about? Come back in the TV room, its almost time for Deal or No Deal.
Husband: Yes dear.
