CUT TO:
INT. OFFICE BUILDING LOBBY - DAY
Craig. in sport coat and tie, studies the business listings
board. He finds LesterCorp, and sees that it is located on
floor 7 1/2. Craig presses the elevator button and waits.
Another man comes and waits next to him. The doors open,
and Craig and the other man get in.
CUT TO:
INT. ELEVATOR - CONTINUOUS
The other man presses "9." Craig studies the buttons. There
is no "7 1/2."
WOMAN #1
Seven and a half, right?
CRAIG:
Uh. yeah.
WOMAN #1
I'll take you through it.
The man picks up a crowbar leaning in the corner. He
watches the floor numbers light up in succession. After
"7" and before "8", the man hits the emergency stop button.
The elevator slams to a halt. The man pries open the doors
with the crowbar. Revealed is a standard office building
hallway, except that from floor to ceiling it is only about
four feet high. Everything is scaled down accordingly.
The number on the wall across from the elevator is 7 1/2.
WOMAN #1
Seven and a half.
CRAIG:
Thank you.
Craig climbs out onto the 7 1/2 floor.
CUT TO:
INT. SEVEN AND A HALF FLOOR - CONTINUOUS
Craig, hunched-over, makes his way down the hallway
looking for LesterCorp. He passes a hunched-over man
walking in the other direction. They nod to each other.
Craig finds a door marked "LesterCorp - Meeting America's
Filing Needs Since 1922." He enters.
CUT TO:
INT. LESTERCORP RECEPTION AREA - CONTINUOUS
All furniture is scaled down to fit into this low-ceilinged
space. A few other short men sit reading tiny magazines.
Craig approaches Floris, the receptionist.
FLORIS:
Welcome to LesterCorp. May we meet
your filing needs?
CRAIG:
No, uh, my name is Craig Schwartz.
I have an interview with Mr. Lester.
FLORIS:
Please have a seat, Mr. Juarez...
CRAIG:
Schwartz.
FLORIS:
Pardon?
CRAIG:
Schwartz.
FLORIS:
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have no idea
CRAIG:
My name is Schwartz.
FLORIS:
Money, Miss Warts?
CRAIG:
Forget it.
Craig takes a seat next to the other applicants.
FLORIS:
(calling across the room)
Fork ah did?
The intercom buzzes. Floris picks it up.
FLORIS:
(to Craig)
Mr. Juarez?
CRAIG:
Yes?
FLORIS:
Yex?
CRAIG:
I said "yes."
FLORIS:
You suggest what? I have no time for
piddling suggestions from mumbling job
applicants, my good man. Besides, Dr.
Lester will see you now. I think
that's what he said.
