Int. Office
A man is asleep at his desk. The door opens and in walks a manager. He looks at the sleeping man.
Manager: What the?!
The man suddenly wakes up abruptly and starts typing away at his PC.
Manager: Were you asleep?
Man: Not at all. I was just... looking for something.
Manager: I need the... Is that an empty vodka bottle under your desk?
The man pulls out an empty vodka bottle.
Man: Uh, yeah. Yeah it is. I’m taking it to the recycling bin at lunchtime. For my... wife.
Manager: But you’re not married.
Man: Did I say wife? Haha! I meant my mother. My mother loves her vodka!
Manager: I thought she drank herself to death.
Man: Uh, she might have done. I can’t remember. Anyway, what was it you wanted? I’m very busy. Oh so busy!
Manager: I need the Henderson Report. I hope it’s ready.
Man: Is that the 10,000 word report?
Manager: Yes!
Man: I just need to spellcheck it.
Manager: Well bring it up to my office, pronto! I should have rung Henderson 5 minutes ago.
Man: You can rely on me.
The manager departs. The camera focuses on the man’s PC monitor. The mouse cursor double clicks on a file labelled “eth HeNDersson Reprt”. The file opens in a word processor program. The only text there is “The Henderson Report”. The focus goes back on the man.
Man: Just nine thousand nine hundred and ninety seven words to go. Easy!
The man cracks his knuckles and begins typing at an insane speed. Smoke starts coming off his fingers. The camera focus goes back on the monitor and zooms in on the ‘print’ button. It gets clicked.
CUT TO: The man pulling a large wad of paper out of the printer and sprinting off.
CUT TO: Int. Manager’s office.
The man comes running in and throws the report down on the desk. The manager looks through it and then up at the man.
Manager: What the hell is this?
The manager holds up the report to show that the man has written absolute gobbledegook.
Man: Did I misuse a semicolon?
