[Man opens door and walks into building, view from behind as approaching,

[Receptionist looks up]
RECEPTIONIST:
How can I help?
BLAINE:
[Awkwardly, stuttering]
Hi, yes, I’m here, um, for the interview?
RECEPTIONIST:
[Points towards chairs]
Sit there. Someone will be out shortly.
BLAINE:
[Still awkward and unsure]
Oh… Um, okay… Thanks…
[Tracking as he walks across and sits on a chair. Panning shot, reading a
‘Silence’ sign on wall. Shot of Blaine, close up, seems nervous, trying to distract
himself. Someone walks out of a room, calls his name, over shoulder shot of
new character showing Blaine alone in waiting room. Track Blaine into
interview room, swing round to show interview room.]

3. Preliminary task script. Chelsea and Lucy.
[No expression, plain voice/deadpan]
Thursdays…
BLAINE:
[Slowly gets up from chair and walks backwards towards door]
On second thoughts I think I’ll apply elsewhere..
