Jose

After Joe realizes that he has no face or legs, he thinks that he is not really living, but can’t kill himself. He tries to stop breathing, but he can’t because a machine is pumping up his lungs for him.
He breaks into a memory about working the night shift at the bakery in L.A. On busy nights, the bakery would call a shelter to get some extra hands. One man named Jose comes from the shelter. He is a very hard worker and tells stories about his old job as a driver for a wealthy family. He left because the daughter of that family supposedly fell in love with him. Even though people don’t believe him, no one calls him out on it. Jose ends up working at the bakery full time.
One day Jose brings a letter to work from the daughter of the wealthy family. In it, the girl wants to visit Jose so they can marry. However, Jose does not want to marry her because he does not love her.
Jose gets another job at a studio, and he wants to quit the bakery job but can’t find a way to because he feels too grateful to Jody, the manager. For a while, he works both jobs and he only gets about an hour of sleep a night. He tries to get fired, and when he drops a whole cart of pies, he finally gets fired. He offers to pay Jody for the pies though, and he actually does. Joe never sees Jose again.
Joe respects Jose because he didn’t marry the girl for her money. He also respects him because he didn’t quit the job at the bakery right away when he got a new one. Jose is also a very peaceful person, and doesn’t want to tip the pies in the first place.
