Setting: elevator in downtown building. I board, followed by cute and plump woman in late 20s.
SHE: (smiles) Got any more of that cinnamon gum?
ME: Mmmm ... maybe. Lemme see. I think I have just one piece. (Fishes around in pockets) Yeah, just one. You wanna take my last piece?
SHE: Mm-hmm.
ME: You'd take the very last stick of gum from a stranger?
SHE: Yeah. Remember, when you do a good deed, it always comes back around to you.
ME: Okay. Just be here tomorrow with some gum. Same bat-time, same bat-place.
SHE: (Laughs, smiles big) Okay.
ME: (Getting off ... off the elevator, that is) But anyway, do enjoy it. Bye!
SHE: Bye-bye, sugar!
