FADE IN:
INT. WORK OFFICE - THURSDAY , 13:45PM.
Scott is working but starts to become distracted by his
co-worker Natalie. She doesn't notice him as she is to
busy flirting with Glenn. They are laughing and Scott
becomes insanely jealous. He starts to clench his fists
and bangs them of the table. He picks up some papers and
heads for the photocopier.
INT. WORK OFFICE - Thursday , 14:20PM
Scott comes back to the desk and drops the papers down.
He is still annoyed about Natalie flirting with Glenn. He
watches glenn until Angela , the boss , distracts him by
dropping a folder of papers in front of him.
ANGELA
Get it done by Monday.
SCOTT
I do have a life outside of work Angela.
ANGELA
So do I Scott. Surely you should of known what you was
signing up to before you applied for the job.
SCOTT
Ill get it done and ready for you by Monday.
Angela walks of. He becomes stressed and puts his face
into his hands. He then unlocks the draw to his desk. He
opens the draw. Inside are scattered photos of Natalie.
He runs his fingers down the photo at the top of the
pile. Someone walks past and he quickly closes up the
draw.

I’m so parched. You wouldn't believe the day I'm having.
SCOTT
(Chuckles) You can say that again. Ive been working here
for five years and I'm still not used to that fucking
printer.
NATALIE
(giggles) It is a dodgy printer. Are we really that cheap
we cannot invest in a modern one?
SCOTT
It seems that way. I think i might put forward half of my
next pay cheque for a newer model.
NATALIE
(Laughs)

fundraiser to go to.

NATALIE

Scott sits down. The knife from up his sleeve falls out
onto the desk. Scott starts to spin the knife. Natalie
notices and moves back. She watches it and is very
scared.
SCOTT
Well I hope you weren’t planning on doing anything
important after work.
(Laughs)
Natalie doesn’t turn fully but she notices the knife in
the corner of her eye. She acts like she didn't notice
it.
NATALIE
What do you … mean Scott?
SCOTT
Do you know what i find funny? The fact i thought you
generally liked me. You played with my emotions for the
last time Natalie.
NATALIE
But Scott ever since i started here you've been my rock.
If it wasn't for you i don’t think i would be here. I
thought you was my friend. You've been more of a friend
to me then Glenn-

SCOTT
(waves knife in the air)
Here we go again with fucking glenn. Do you like him? Is
there something Glenn has that I don’t?
NATALIE
You think i like glenn. Jesus Scott he's a dick. Have you
seen the way he treats women? I only go on dates with him
cause he buys me food.
( Her finger edges for the hardback book on the table)
SCOTT
So what went on in the kitchen the other day. You was all
over him .
NATALIE
I… don't think thats any of your business.
SCOTT
So you was acting like a Classless slut for nothing?
Natalie grabs the book and hits him over the head. he
falls of the desk onto the floor with the book. She runs
to the lift doors. The doors close and she goes up. You
see him running up the stairs and stands outside the lift
on the second floor. The doors open and she is shocked to
see him. He pulls her out the lift. The lift doors close
and it ends.
Fades Out.
