Internal E-mail

Dont really put stuff up on here, but thought Id pop one on, enjoy! Or dont, you dont have to, you wont hurt my feelings. Bastards.

INT. OFFICE MANAGERS OFFICE-DAY.

The OFFICE MANAGER is in her private office, working at her computer. She stops and sighs, a little bored; then she eyes her digital camera that is sat beside her handbag on the desk.

CUT TO:

The OFFICE MANAGER is now standing with her back to us with her top pulled up to reveal her breasts, which she then photographs with her camera.

CUT TO:

The camera is plugged into her computer and we see her attach a file titled ‘MY TITS’ to an email, which she then presses ‘SEND TO ALL’.

She sits back smiling, then suddenly seems to realise what shes done, burying her head in her hands.

OFFICE MANAGER

No . . . .

CUT TO:

INT. MAIN OFFICE.

The OFFICE MANAGER is now stood in the main office area addressing her
co-workers.

OFFICE MANAGER

Now, did any of you happen to see an e-mail I sent to everyone in the building?

WOMAN

I saw it.

WOMAN 2

Me too.

MAN

I didn’t yet, what e-mail?

OFFICE MANAGER

I accidentally took a photo of my tits, uploaded it to my computer, attached it to an e-mail and sent it to everyone who works here.

MAN

Oh. (STANDS SLOWLY) Can I just-

OFFICE MANAGER

Sit down.

MAN sits grumbling to himself.

OFFICE MANAGER

I want all of you to delete the e-mail immediately, and any of you who did see it, try to banish the image of my glorious, firm, naked breasts from your mind. Id really appreciate it if you could all do that; thanks.

CUT TO:

INT. OFFICE MANAGERS OFFICE.

The OFFICE MANAGER flops back in her chair in her office and sighs. She gets back to work for several beats, until her eyes drift once more to her camera.

CUT TO:

OFFICE MANAGER holding skirt up to take picture.

CUT TO:

OFFICE MANAGER attaching file titled ‘MY BUSH’ to an e-mail; she presses SEND TO ALL.

The OFFICE MANAGER sits back satisfied, then, slowly, realisation hits once more and she buries her head in her hands.

OFFICE MANAGER

No . . . .

THE END

No.

Raised a smile. Reminded me of the US office when Michael emails that picture of him and Jan on holiday.

Ignore David he's even older than I am :P I can see this working but I think the speech to the workers should be more, I dunno, Basil Fawlty like to make her even more unlikely to do what she does. Either way I like it.

I doubled up laughing at this, I think it's hilarious

No.

?

I liked it too.

An alternative version might look at cutting after this point:

and then have the bush photo impact on the other office staff (e.g., "er.. that isn't your bush is it?") as the big reveal at the end.

I think I'm saying I'd prefer the bush to remain concealed for longer.

Thanks, and I can see the merit in what you say about the speech to the workers, but I think i like the fact its all quite low key and mundane; for me that sort of flat handling adds to the sillines.

Yeah, that could be a good alternative.

Although I saw the upskirt bit coming, I thought it was quite funny.

Perhaps it could turn out she's a pre-op transsexual and this is how everyone finds out.

Glad you liked it, but that wasnt supposed to be a surprise ending or anything, i wanted you to know shes going to do it again.

Yes it is funny. Good idea of Roscoffs too.

I liked it... didn't think the second bit was needed though. I could imagine Sue White from Green Wing doing this.

Ah, well thats where ill have to disagree, for me the second bit, her doing it again, is the whole point of the sketch; glad you could see merit in it though, all praise gratefully recieved! :D

I loved this, brilliant!

Thank you Fran, you obviously have impeccible taste and a bright future! Laughing out loud
