Office Life

INT. DAY OFFICE BUILDING

MAGGIE, early 40's, tanned and toned, in a crisp designer suit, turns down the hall with a confident gait.  She bumps into DEENA, late twenties, rumpled, a little too arty for this corporate environment.

Maggie - Hey, Deena.  You look great.  Did you loose weight?

Deena - I don't think so.

Maggie - Oh.  I did. 

Deena - That's amazing, Maggie.

Maggie - Yeah.  Anyway, come into my office, I want to discuss this Tracey Hinkler super duper rising star!

INT. DAY MAGGIE'S OFFICE

Maggie clicks the mouse, smiles at her computer screen.

Maggie - This was in Kuala Lumpor...(clicks the screen) Have you been to Thailand.

Deena - Isn't Kuala Lumpor in Malaysia?

Maggie - Beautiful people.  Food.  Culture.  People there thought I was like, I don't know, ten years younger than I am.  

Deena - Wow.

Maggie - I don't know how old you think I am, but I bet it's ten years younger than what I really am.  I won't say the number.  I'm not old.  (PAUSE) Okay, well, I'm sure you have something to do.  

Deena - Hinkler.

Maggie - Voice like an angel.  Body.  Face.  Wow!  I'm not that much older than her.

Deena - We were going to discuss Tracey Hinkler.

Maggie - She's going to have a big career.  She's doing Conan, you know.  Whoever works with her is got to be on it.  A big, bright STAR goddamn I can feel it - burn me! (PAUSE) Send Amy in.  She can handle Hinkler.

Deena exits.
