Office stand-off

OFFICE. DAY.

CLOSE UP OF TWO PEOPLE'S FACES FROM THE SIDE. ONE APPEARS TO BE SITTING WHO LOOKS UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE THE OTHER LAYS INTO HIM WITH REAL ANGER.

MAN 1: You sit in that chair all day, all high and mighty! You don't move, you don't say a word - just sit there! What the hell's the matter with you!?

MAN 2: You can't force me to do anything?

MAN 1: Oh, can't I?

MAN 2: No.

THERE'S A PAUSE

MAN 1: Right, swivel on that then!

ANGRY MAN SLAMS DOWN A SWIVEL CHAIR NEXT TO SEATED MAN WHO GETS UP AND SITS IN NEW CHAIR EXCITEDLY.

MAN 1: Oooo, it's lovely!

MAN 2: (PROFESSIONAL MANNER) Yes, it's our top of the range and retails for £149.99.

END

Haha!
This made me laugh. Good change of pace too.

Nice, clever, simple.

Hi Tuumble - Am I being dim or are the last two lines mixed up?

Not dim at all - they aren't mixed up but I think it would be better the way you suggest. :)

good one :)
