Rock Boss

Another old skit comp entry. Not sure if this works out of context of the subject ( if at all ). Any thoughts would be great.

INT. AN OFFICE. DAY.

TWO MEN DRESSED IN SUITS.ONE OF THEM ( BOSS ) IS SHOUTING AT THE OTHER ONE (DEREK)

BOSS:
You better be f**king joking me Derek!

DEREK:
I'm really sorry bu..

BOSS: (SHAKING A PIECE OF PAPER IN DEREK'S FACE)
What's the matter? Can't you read this? Didn't you go to school?

DEREK:
Yes of cour...

BOSS:
Then what does that say? What does that say right f**king there?

DEREK:
It says that we have to provide you with four hundred post-it notes, with the blue ones taken out.

BOSS PICKS UP A WAD OF POST IT NOTES AND POINTS TO A BLUE ONE.

BOSS:
So what the shitting f**k is this? Do I look like a wanker?

DEREK:
Not at a...

BOSS:
Thank you. Thank you Derek, for not calling me a wanker in my own office. Now get out there and do your f**king job.

DEREK MEEKLY EXITS THE OFFICE:

CUT TO:

INT. BOARD. DAY.

THE BOSS STANDS ON THE TABLE IN A ROCK POSE HOLDING A MICROPHONE. ALL THE CHIARS ARE FILLED WITH STAFF MEMBERS. SOME ARE WEARING BOARD MEETING 2010 T-SHIRTS. THEY ARE ALL CLAPPING AND CHEERING HIM.

BOSS:
Thank you thank you. Now here's a new one I call "Mission Statement" I hope y'all like it.

GRAMS: ROCK BALLAD

THE STAFF MEMBERS TAKE SOME HIGHLIGHTER PENS FROM THE TABLE, REMOVE THE LIDS AND WAVE THEM IN THE AIR LIKE LIGHTERS.

BOSS: (SINGING)
Broad-based collaborative initiative. Inspiring encouragement in our brand through exciting and relevant media direct to our customer base so that we may make a difference...locally and globally. I said making a difference now, making a difference, make it, make it now, make it.

THE SONG FINISHES AND THEY APPLAUD AND CHEER. HE STEPS DOWN OFF THE TABLE AND IS PASSED A TOWEL BY DEREK. HE USES IT TO DAB THE SWEAT FROM HIS FACE AS THEY LEAVE THE ROOM.

CUT TO:

INT. AN OFFICE. DAY.

DEREK:
Well I think that went rather well.

BOSS:
Phone dialing solo not too long?

DEREK:
Well..maybe thirty seven minutes was a....

BOSS:
So now you're the big shot. Well excuse-f**king me.

BOSS GRABS THE COMPUTER MONITOR OF THE DESK AND THROWS IT OUT THE WINDOW.

DEREK:
Sir it's still plugged.....

THE CABLES AND WIRES ATTACHED TO THE MONITOR NOW BEGIN TO PULL THE COMPUTER AND OTHER OFFICE EQUIPMENT EVERYWHERE. THE OFFICE IS NOW TRASHED COMPLETELY.

BOSS:
For f**k's sake Derek. Sort this out or you'll be cleaning toilets for the rest of your life. F**k me.

BOSS SWANS OUT OF THE OFFICE.

END.

It's good and a good idea but I think you're soft peddling a little.

Rock and roll is chucking the brown M&Ms but it's also groupies assaulted with fish, heroin and fights.

I like this, It's a great idea with some funny stuff.

I wonder if it would work starting here & combining the other two bits for the next scene.

INT. BOARD. DAY.

THE BOSS STANDS ON THE TABLE IN A ROCK POSE HOLDING A MICROPHONE. ALL THE CHIARS ARE FILLED WITH STAFF MEMBERS. SOME ARE WEARING BOARD MEETING 2010 T-SHIRTS. THEY ARE ALL CLAPPING AND CHEERING HIM.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to sort all my sketches into some kind of order, so just going through a few old comp ones that I liked. Your feedback is invaluable, and will be taking it on board.

Steve, the re-jig of the order will really sort it out I think.

Sooty, I agree that Rock and Roll can be more brutal than I have portrayed here but it's not my style to go all the way. I'll leave the borderline material to those that can do it. eh? ;)

This is a great idea, and well written. I liked it a lot.
