A young man, portraying a free-spirited traveler, enters a Brooklyn coffee shop and engages in a comedic dialogue with two cynical baristas. He contrasts his anti-materialistic, phone-free lifestyle with their "tethered" existence, leading to a satirical culture clash. After a lengthy exchange, he attempts to barter a quirky, self-written song for an expensive, specialty latte, ultimately leaving the baristas unimpressed.

Man, I've been on the road for days best passing through Brooklyn, and I'm in dire need of some sustenance. Road trips are environmentally irresponsible. Road trip? No. I'm actually recreating the Oregon Trail. If it started in Philly and ended in Brooklyn Oh, well, you won't be the first person to get dysentery on the Amtrak. That's for sure. I got rid of my phone. I've been getting around with a compass, my intuition, and this map. What are you, like a character from Moonrise Kingdom? This is the world. Do you recognize it? I've been once or twice. We live there. No what? You guys are just stuck here better day? Where are you gonna be tomorrow? We might come in around noon or, like, 5PM or maybe, like, 6AM. I don't know. So tethered. Such nine to fivers. We're more like nine to 09:40 fivers. Let me guess. You guys have apartments. And and furniture? Enclosed. Yep. Clothes? I mean, it's all secondhand. All vintage. I left that materialistic life behind me. Good rid of all my possessions now. Everything I own is in this bottle. It's not like we believe in property ownership. I don't even believe in property. Are you gonna order? Yeah. Do you have any drinks with all forged ingredients? We do have the Grateful Dead better made from forged ingredients from the Greenwood Cemetery. Perfect. I'll take that. That'll be $32.50. Tier? Can I barter a song for the latte? Is the instruments stringed? Call these old cameraman. It is. Are you gonna leave a tip? Farewell, strange traveler.
