OFFICE - LATER
Tom actually wanders in to work, wearing sunglasses and the
clothes he slept in. People pass and say hello. He can’t muster
responses.
MCKENZIE
Tom!
Nothing.
MCKENZIE
I’ve been calling every five minutes. Are you ok?
TOM
What? Oh yeah. Great.
MCKENZIE
Do you need anything?
TOM
Twinkies?
MCKENZIE
Sorry.

MCKENZIE
Well let’s go.
TOM
Go-- where?
MCKENZIE
It’s Thursday.
INT. BOARDROOM - LATER
Tom sits next to McKenzie and across from Vance. He’s in his
usual boardroom position, which is to say, near comatose.
A female CO-WORKER, 50s, stands at the front of the room in mid-
presentation, showing slides that have something to do with a cat
in various poses. First we see, “Cat Reaching Up for Out-of-Reach
Milk Bowl.”
CO-WORKER
This one says “Go for it!”
She clicks to the next slide. “Cat Hanging From Tree Branch.”
CO-WORKERTDGCHN RF J
This one says “Don’t give up!”
Click. We see “Cat Considering a Giant Leap.”
CO-WORKER
And this one says “You can do it!” We have a whole line of
inspirational cards featuring Pickles, my cat. I think people
will really enjoy them. Thank you.
She takes her seat.
VANCE
Good job Rhoda, I agree. Really inspirational stuff. Now, who’s
next. We haven’t heard from “Sympathy” in a while. Hansen--

Well sure. Go ahead.
