KATE, JOSH, GABE AND PRUDENCE

It’s the first day...

It’s the first day...

It’s the first day...

Of the rest of my week.

ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE NOW “BROWSING” OVER THE CUBICLE WALL AS

the title, "Browsers," pops up with a quick music stingunderneath THEM.

END OF COLD OPEN

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

ACT ONE:

INT. - LARGE BULLPEN AREA

VARIOUS SNIPPETS OF ORDINARY MONDAY-MORNING OFFICE LIFE.

NOTHING PARTICULARLY EXCITING.

CUT TO THE FOUR NEWBIES, GAWKING AT THE WONDER OF IT ALL.

GABE:

(Rapt)

This is the coolest place in thewhole world.

PRUDENCE:

(Stoned)

Yeah.

JOSH IS LOOKING AT GABRIEL’S NAMETAG: “GABRIEL BLACKMAN”. HE

BEGINS TYPING INTO HIS PHONE. ITS SCREEN APPEARS IN THE

CORNER OF OUR SCREEN AS “GABRIEL BLACKMAN” IS ENTERED INTO

THE GOOGLE SEARCH BAR. THE PHONE SCREEN APPEARS FOR A SECOND.

IF YOU PAUSE IT, YOU CAN GLEAN THAT HE WENT TO OBERLIN, WAS

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT, HAD SOME BYLINES FOR EDITORIALS ON

THE STUDENT PAPER, ETC.

KATE:

Have you guys been to the officebefore?

JOSH:

No.

PRUDENCE:

I have. I mean not this one, but,

you know. Others.

GABE:

It’s teeming with life!

JOSH:

(Cynical)

Well, it looks teeming with PC’s.

Yikes. Julianna! It’s a little

something called “Apple”. Look intoit.

GABE:

Do you think we get to meet her? Doyou think she went through ourresumés? Did she pick us?

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

JOSH:

It's possible. I saw an interviewwith her where she said...

QUICK CUTAWAY TO JULIANNA IN AN INTERVIEW.

JULIANNA:

“I love the young people at Gush.

They are the Zeitgeist.”

KATE:

I saw that too.

(Flawlessly)

“I love the young people at Gush.

They are the Zeitgeist.”

JOSH:

Wow. Flawless.

KATE:

I think that’s how I got hired.

JOSH:

Right.

KATE LOOKS EMBARRASSED.

GABE:

She’s one of my culture heroes. Socool, so no-bullshit, and so pro-

gay.

KATE:

Didn’t she marry a gay guy once?

GABE:

Soooo pro-gay.

JOSH:

Although she’s been married like,

ten times, so the odds are that one

of them would be, right?

GABEIS NOT AMUSED.

JOSH (CONT’D)

Yeah, it's possible she knows aboutus. She probably knows about mytwitter feed. @ModernValjean? Ever

hear of it? Over 3,000 followers?

Twitter says it’s similar to SteveMartin and Albert Brooks?

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

JOSH (CONT’D)

Penetrating cultural criticismalong with random thoughts about myDad, who’s a dick?

(No one’s heard of it)

You should check it out.

KATE:

Look.

THEY LOOK UP. JULIANNA, 55, GLAMOROUS, ARIANNA HUFFINGTONLIKE,

IS WALKING THROUGH THE BULLPEN, SOCIALIZING, TALKING

LOUDLY AND GENERALLY BEING LARGER THAN LIFE. THERE IS A

SLIGHT TENSION/FEARFULNESS AMONG THE PEOPLE AROUND HER.
