Summary: A man in a suit confides in his military-uniformed colleague about his recent breakup and career dissatisfaction, revealing impulsive purchases and plans to quit his job and move, asking for confidentiality.
A man named Montenegro, dressed in military fatigues, approaches a colleague in a suit (the manager) to offer condolences for his broken engagement. The manager then shows off a new, expensive car he impulsively bought, stating 'you only live once.' He later confides that he plans to give his two weeks' notice that day after being passed over for a promotion, intending to move across the country. Montenegro tries to offer advice, suggesting other opportunities and that there are 'plenty of other fish in the sea.' The manager then asks Montenegro to keep his resignation plans confidential until he speaks with HR.
