Quotes:

Peter: So, uh, why do they call you Hey, anyway? What, is it short for Heywood or something?
Hey: No, it's short for, "Hey, you!" My father couldn't be bothered calling me by name so it stuck. You know, "Hey, how are ya?" "Hey, you gonna finish that pudding?"

Smart situations and witty dialogue

Multiple stories, beautifully crafted and weaved together for a fun viewing experience. Few shorts actually deliver the kind of smart situations and witty dialogue that Masterpiece Monday does. Films like this one are the kind that make short films so enjoyable to watch.
