INT. OFFICE KITCHEN - DAY On an average day in the office kitchen, we find Jaco and Nick having a fat chat with a cup of coffee. Both of them are operating their mobile phones while conversing.

Maggy steps into the room, quite seriously.

MAGGY Can I see both of you in my office Please?

INT. CEO’S OFFICE - DAY Maggy is standing firm behind her desk, while Jaco and Nick are seated like naughty school boys.

MAGGY Is there anything that you’d like to tell me?

Jaco is scared and makes up excuses.

JACO I’m really committed this time and I’ve stopped going out on weekends and started to cut back during office hours as well, oh and I’m sorry about the printer.

Maggy frowns, and the two guys start ranting. Jaco apologetic, Nick attacking.

NICK I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t even here last week, or the week before that, so if anyone tells you that I have been making purchases on my Xbox Live account..It wasn’t me NICK and I’m taking another sick day because I think I contracted the flu from Fred, the Janitor.

JACO It’s all the Indian food my mother is making me lately. I’ll tell her to start making boerekos.

Nick becomes emotional.

NICK And why don’t men get maternity leave? It’s not like we’re emotionless pieces of meat you know.

A SWOOSH sound makes and Maggy slamming on her desk makes them halt.

MAGGY There’s rumors going around the office about you two spending too much time texting and too little time working. again, Jaco interrupts.

JACO and I’m also sorry about the mens bathroom.

Maggy and Nick look at Jaco with an awkward frown...
