A stampeed of one...maybe she's from the Westside..

Blythe to John

'You'll be working in here today with David.'

John

'O.K. That was fun on Friday.'

Blythe makes a shush gesture and brings John into a small office with two desks. John sees offices come to life across Lexington Avenue as lights are switched on.  David comes in about a half hour later.'

David

"Ahhh. Did we have bad dreams about a cat eating the head off of mice?'

John

.Yes we did. I think I'm more of a Times Square, Mid-Town kinda guy.'

David

"Ah....regarde le sophisticate, We talking Planet Hollywood, ESPN? Hard Rock Cafe?'

John

'Yes, I do like all that themed stuff. I like the art...'

David

'Like walking on a set. You are such a child. Follower'

John

'Yes Moses. Except with the ad ideas or writing.  But in life? Who's my daddy? Everyone.'

Cindy, Bernie's Sister-in-Law charges into the office. In her long, bulky fur coat and white cowboy boots, at a glance she looks like a charging buffalo. John thinks of a western voice over to a scene of buffalo running on the Great Plains: to the white man, this is the dawn of an era. To my people, it was but the sunset. To the poor buffalo, it was one bitch shooting at him or another. 

Hel-loooo.' She waves a funny hand in front of John to break him out of his daydream.

'So I don't have to tell you this is a top secret pitch.'

She throws a file on David's desk. He opens it.

David

'This is Herb's account.'

Cindy

'It's the agency's account and I'm not having one of these discussions David. I'm going there Friday, so you have to create a multi-media campaign ready by Thursday, It has to work across multi-media platforms.'

Cindy to John

'Disney asked how much we'd charge for the radio spot you wrote.'

John

'That's so cool...Disney is awesome.'

David

'Disney is awesome...you are good with words.'

John laughing

'Shut up David.'

Cindy

'Anyway you know what they've approved in the past David. So let's give them more of that plus something dfferent. Enjoy.'

Cindy leaves with a happy wave.

John

'I like her. She's soo nice.'

David

'No one here is nice. And I'm not having this discussion with you again. They want the same thing and something different. Don't you just love the direction you get from Account Executives?'
