Firery Quickie

IN AN OFFICE BASEMENT. WE SEE A MAN WORKING AT A COMPUTER.

F/X: FIRE ALARM.

WE FOLLOW THE MAN AS HE GOES UP STAIRS AND ALONG CORRIDORS, UNTIL FINALLY HE COMES TO AN ENTRANCE, WHICH HE GOES THROUGH.

WE SEE TWO GUYS SITTING ROUND SOME TWIGS, WHICH ARE ALIGHT.

MAN:
What the hell are you two doing? You could set fire to the whole building.

GUY (POINTING):
But the sign said it's OK.

FOCUS ON THE SIGN: "FIRE ASSEMBLY POINT"

>_<

Hmmmm... A lot going on for a quickie, if I may be so bold sir:

EXT. DAY. UNKNOWN LOCATION.

VARIOUS PEOPLE ON FIRE MILLING AROUND (NOT PANICKING, WEARING FLAME RETARDANT CLOTHING, ETC.)

PAN ACROSS TO 'FIRE ASSEMBLY POINT' SIGN.

Yup, I have to agree with you there. Just kind of liked the idea of a camera following the man to the action.
