[The scene is set in a small, cluttered office. JERRY, the interviewer, sits behind a desk, while BOB, the
interviewee, nervously takes a seat.]
JERRY: (looking at Bob's resume) So, Bob, it says here you have a unique talent. Care to share?
BOB: (nervously) Oh, yeah! I can make really realistic animal noises.
[BOB clears his throat and attempts a series of animal noises. Unfortunately, they sound more like a car
struggling to start.]
JERRY: Right, impressive monkey. Moving on, what would you say is your greatest weakness?
BOB: (nodding) Yeah, like when someone asks, "How are you?" I can't just say, "Fine," even if I'm not.
I start telling them about my day, and, well, people get uncomfortable.
[JERRY chuckles.]
JERRY: Fair enough. Last question, Bob. Why do you want to work here?
BOB: Well, I heard you guys have a great snack selection, and I'm all about the snacks.
JERRY: (still laughing) Bob, you might just be the perfect fit for this place. Welcome aboard!
[BOB looks surprised but thrilled as they both share a laugh, setting the tone for an unexpectedly
amusing work relationship.]
