PATTY:
Well, this is vice president.
Maybe this time it will change.
NANCY:
And what if it won't?
PATTY:
Then it won't. Then you get
divorced, I don't know. Whatever
you have to do.
NANCY:
Oh, God. Maybe it will.
PATTY:
It will or it won't.
NANCY:
Okay. I'm starting to feel sick
to my stomach. Thanks for talking
to me. Let's just say maybe it
will.
PATTY:
(standing up)
Good. Because if it won't, it
won't anyway so what can you do?
NANCY:
We said we'd stop on "will."
PATTY:
We did. We've stopped. It will.
Patty hesitantly backs out of Nancy's office.
PATTY:
(continuing)
It will. It will work out.
Nancy stares straight ahead. She looks very depressed.
CUT TO:
8 INT. DAVID'S OFFICE
He is writing at his desk talking on the telephone.
He's writing down figures.
DAVID:
Oh, then tax, license, out-the-
door, everything included, what
are we talking about?... Thirty-
six thousand, five hundred and
twelve. Jesus! For a car... No,
I know, a Mercedes. It's still
a car... Well, I don't care. To
me, if it has wheels, it's a car.
But that's not the point. Now,
that's everything, right? That's
it? You don't have to pay that
money and then be told that there
are options? No extras, everything
included... Come on! - For thirty-
seven thousand, leather is extra?
What kind of seats are in there?...
What is Mercedes Leather?... So,
why don't you just say vinyl?...
Okay, thick vinyl, but it's still
vinyl... Okay, these kind of
semantic arguments are silly.
The BUZZER RINGS.
DAVID:
(continuing)
Just a moment.
(presses the
intercom)
Yes?
SUSAN:
It's eleven ten.
DAVID:
Thank you. Susan, I have another
one of these Mercedes guys on the
phone, he won't hang up. Would
you do something with him please?
David hangs up. He stands and walks over to a small
mirror. He straightens his tie, fixes his jacket and
carries on one more little conversation with himself
as the boss.
DAVID:
(continuing)
What can I say? I guess, thank
you... Oh, no. I can't take your
office. This is too nice.
Where would you sit?... Well, you
are a very generous man.
He smiles and exits his office.
9INT. OUTER OFFICE
SUSAN:
(still on the phone)
No! We will call you back.
(she hangs up)
What a strange job to be arrogant
in.
DAVID:
I know.
SUSAN:
Good luck. Don't worry, you've
got it.
DAVID:
Thanks, Susan.
We FOLLOW David as he rounds the corners of this large
building on the way to Paul Dunn's office. With each step,
he is ready to accept this new responsibility. He stops
at his boss's secretary, MARGARET, a woman in her older
forties, a true executive type.
MARGARET:
Well, you look very nice.
