You know where u stand by where u sit

The desks of the Assistant Account Executives sit in an open area in front of their Account Executives. Girl Patel, John and David are standing in front of Girl Patel’s desk.

Blythe runs almost past them with a forced happy face and suddenly stops.

Blythe to John

Bernie l-o-v-e-s you.

She squeezes his wrist. And as an afterthought

Blythe to David

You too David.

She runs down the hall and into Bernie’s office.

David

I’m not a ‘too.’….

David to John and Girl Patel

You twit.

Girl Patel

Anyway, you’re not getting it. I said they are a very conservative company who wants something crazy.

They all realize Bernie is passing by with a pretty blonde.

Bernie stops and puts his hand on John’s shoulder.

Bernie to Girl Patel

Make nice. He’s a f-ing cash cow.

Bernie moves on with the pretty blonde.

Girl Patel almost laughing

F-ing cash cow. To a Hindi. That is wrong on so many levels

Bernie stops in front of a desk in front of his office.

Bernie to one of his assistants seated at the desk.

Get up.

Jessica Stein gets up.

Bernie to the pretty blonde

You sit there.

Jessica to Bernie
Where do I sit?
Bernie

Any place you want. You’re f-ing fired,

Jessica bursts into tears and runs past John, David and Girl Patel

Blythe runs smiling out of the office to the blonde woman.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the family.

She puts a piece of paper onto the pretty blonde’s desk as Bernie goes into his office.

Pretty blonde to Blythe as she picks up the paper.

What’s this?

Blythe

Oh it just says you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. Sign it honey.

David whispers to John

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

Girl Patel to John

Especially you Cash Cow.

John

Holy Cow.
