My German pragmatism got the best of me in these.

Radio I: Safe
VO: At Super8 Motels, we don’t have safes.
Don’t worry, if you had a whole lot of money,
you’d be somewhere where they have safes.
And then a whole lot of money would be in that safe.
And on your mind. Worrying you, keeping you up at night.
But you are here, in a room with no safe but
plenty of bed. And you’re free to dream
about whatever you want. Like having
a whole lot of money or a safe in your room.

Radio II: Front Desk
Front desk lady (monotone, bored):
Welcome to Super 8 Motel, do you have a reservation?
VO: Now some say our front desk could be flirtier.
But that flirting would just keep you up at night.
Because she totally winked there, right?
And she wouldn’t do that to anyone, would she?
No, she wouldn’t. What do I do now?
Should I go back and ask something?
Talk about the weather? Nice out, isn’t it?
Why would she care, she’s in a building,
that’d just make her mad. Would she even
recognize me? I bet she would... (fades out)
