INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE – DAY

A pair of sleazy Hollywood executives are at work in their shared office.  One – DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS – is seated at his desk in front of a pile of spec scripts.  The other – RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY – is sprawled out on the couch playing with his phone.

DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS: You know, when I gave you access to the corporate twitter account I thought you were going to use it to promote our content.

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: [not looking up] I am promoting our content!

DTZM: Trolling Ellen DeGeneres does not help promote our content.

RTD: [continues to squint at his phone] I’m building the brand. I’m establishing us as a witty and engaging presence.  Just like our productions!

DTZM: [gestures to pile of scripts] We need to make some decisions about new material or all the brand-building in the world isn’t going to do us any good.

RTD: [finally lowers phone and looks up] Fine.  Are there any gritty reboots we could do?

DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS stands up, reaches below the desk, lifts up a banker’s box filled with scripts, and drops it heavily onto the coffee table in front of RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY.

DTZM: There’s at least forty of them in there.  Take your pick.

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY starts leafing through them.

RTD: Hmm…Ski School…The 5th Element…Mr. Mom…Weekend at Bernie’s…Rumble in the Bronx…ooh, Brewster’s Millions! How about that?

DTZM: We already tried to get the rights to The Toy, don’t you remember? Pryor’s estate was not interested.

RTD: Oh, right. [picks phone back up]

DTZM: Damnit, we need to focus!

RTD: Okay, okay, let me just tell this conservative activist that Vigo the Carpatian just told her she’d be prettier if she smiled more.

DTZM: [pulls the phone out of his hands] Rikki, you need to stop.

RTD: [continues punching away at thin air for a second before realize the phone is no longer there] Hey!

DTZM: Speaking of stopping, that would make a decent theme for Request Line this week.

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY tries to reach for his phone without having to get up from the couch, but is unsuccessful because DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS has taken two steps towards the window.

DTZM: Yeah…stopping and starting.  [holds Apple watch up to his mouth] SIRI, LET’S START THINGS OUT WITH A DOUBLE SHOT…

SIRI: Dialing Blue Bottle Coffee…

DTZM: SIRI, CANCEL. SIRI PLAY “START ME UP” BY THE ROLLING STONES FOLLOWED BY “STOP BREAKING DOWN”.
