Professional Relationship

INT. OFFICE - DAY

A woman is sat behind a desk dressed very smartly. A man enters also dressed smartly.

MAN
Hello. I'm here for the interview.

WOMAN
Ah yes, Mr Jones. Please sit down.

The man walks over to the desk and sits down opposite the woman.

WOMAN
Did you bring a copy of your CV?

MAN
Yes I did.

The man hands the woman a sheet of paper. She examines it for a moment.

WOMAN
I see you have had 7 previous partners. Can you tell me why you left the last one?

MAN
Differing opinions.

WOMAN
On what exactly?

MAN
Anal sex.

WOMAN
I take it..

MAN
Good.

Woman gives him a look.

WOMAN
I take it you were pro anal?

MAN
Yes I was.

WOMAN
Excellent. I like that kind of forward thinking.

The woman reads some more of the CV.

WOMAN
Average session duration 17 minutes....karma sutra experience....erect penis length 17 inches??

Woman looks up from the CV at the man.

WOMAN
I suppose we all lie on our CV. (Starts reading again)Ah, now this is interesting. It says here that you took part in a bukakke. Could you tell me a little more about that?

MAN
Yes of course. It was a group of 7 men including myself, and 1 woman, and I feel that it was a brilliant demonstration of how well I can work as part of a team to reach a common goal.

WOMAN
And what goal was that?

MAN
Jizzing on her face.

WOMAN
I see. Any STD's or other sexual afflictions I should know about?

MAN
I had a brush with syphilis a few years ago but that has since cleared up.

WOMAN
Great. Well I have to say that you are one of the best candidates I have seen in my career, and as such I am going to offer you the position of reverse cowgirl.

MAN
I'll take it.

WOMAN
Excellent.

They shake hands.

WOMAN
Right, I'll head to the bedroom and undress and you just come when you're ready.

MAN
Should be about 17 minutes.

Funny nicely written and a good punchline.

Maybe a wrongfooting line in the first half could help?

Cheers Sooty :)

I like it Chris. I like the surreal idea and the straight forward dialogue.

MAN
Differing opinions.

WOMAN
On what exactly?

MAN
Anal sex.

WOMAN
I take it..

Yes the anal sex line is very sweet.

It's a dirty joke that's classy enough for a sitcom.

I liked it Chris.
Nice one.
:D

Thanks guys :)

Hi Chris

I like the idea and it is executed well, but it feels a bit 'talking heads'-y to me. Needs a bit more action/different setting but I can't for the life of me think of any suggestions. Sooty might be right with the wrongfooting idea. Perhaps lose the
So, you're here to fill the role of sexual partner?
line so it slowly dawns on us what he is interviewing for exactly and it is only really confirmed when he says 'Anal Sex'.

On the anal sex line, I'd get rid of:

WOMAN
Please, allow me to finish Mr Jones.

MAN
Sorry.

as it breaks the flow. Just have her give him a look and overstate the repeated sentence.

Hope this is useful

Dan

Thanks Dan, some very good points there.

I shall edit with those in mind.

Cheers
Chris
