'Got a free Quran from the Saudi Arabian Embassy & a book on Scientology.

David's face tightens as he paces in front of John's desk

'You...you, you are like a child. Only you John. Why you gotta be so naive?Only you would hear about radical Muslims bombing the World Trade Center...


John

'Are they Muslims Dave? Would other Muslims consider blowing up people as being a good Muslim. Is Al Qaeda really religious?'

David

'I'm speaking...only you would get a Quran when you hear about Al Qaeda. For the first time...yes?'

John

'Yes. Why not? All the Saudi Arabian Embassy required is for you to give your word that you'd treat it with respect and not read it on the toilet or something. How can I know who the radicals are if I don't know the religion. The Scientology book I just bought on a pop up....it was like if you would like to know about this religion...maybe you'd like to know about that religion...'

Blythe runs in real fast...hands John a piece of paper.

Bythe

'Excuse me. Did you write this?'

John

'Nope'

Blythe

'Good. Bernie's having a fit. The client hated it and left. It was an old Bernie account.'
Blythe runs back out.

David

'You can't be friends with everybody. And you really think people are freinds with you John when it's about business or reaching their goals. They play you. That media woman knew what she was talking about. You are like that with people in the agency too. You are going to find out when one of their clients don't like your writing, they aren't good people or friends. And we can't be friends with Al Qaeda.'

David goes to walk away.

John

'Hey Goldstein. I know you are a true friend. And you always care about the people being hurt by the business. I think you are yelling at yourself. I think you know Muslims and Al Qaeda are two different things and I accuse you of being a loving, caring, people person...'

Dave

'There's no talking to you.'

David goes to walk away.

'Jerk'

John

'Liberal Humanitarian deep down inside.'

Bernie walks in wearing gold chains and an orange dyed, baby seal fur vest.

Bernie to David

'Why always dress in black. You look like you are going to a funeral.

Bernie touch his vest.

'Got this in Paris...baby seal fur..dyed saffron. It's actually illegal.'

David

'It should be.'
