Civic Duty Page #2

Synopsis: Shortly after landing a job, Terry Allen is laid off, starts looking for another circa post September 11, 2001 media frenzy and paranoia with President George W. Bush stating that grief has turned to anger, anger to resolution, and that there are thousands of terrorists in over 60 countries ready to strike. With increasing reports of identity theft, the involvement of wealthy & educated foreigners in terrorist activities, Terry starts suspecting his new neighbor, a middle-easterner, who he stereotypes as 'raghead', 'camel jockey', and 'sand nigger'. His wife, Marla, does not share in his bigotry, but he believes that she has turned her attention from rock-stars to Jihadists. While looking for employment, as well as a loan to purchase a house, he also contacts the Federal Bureau of Investigation as he feels he has sufficient evidence that his new neighbor is structuring money, experimenting with chemicals, and associating with other middle-easterners for devious reasons.

of risky assets.

While not identifying

the risky assets,

The chairman,

In a separate

report last monday,

Emphatically

warned the nation

About the perils

Of home-Owners

and lenders

Using aggressive

mortgages.

While low mortgage rates

Powered home sales

to record highs

Four years in a row,

Home prices have

nevertheless skyrocketed.

However,

the fed has been

Gradually

raising rates

To keep inflation

in check.

With this

latest warning,

The chairman stressed

that a widespread cooling

In the housing market

Could be right around

the corner,

Exposing both

borrowers and lenders

To significant losses.

And the new team

of first international-

"Self-Starter. "

"Team player. "

Hey.

Were you out here

all night?

Do you think

the stereotype is true?

What stereotype?

That accountants are boring?

I know, i'm not my job,

But does my job

make me boring?

Yeah, i think it does.

Tsk, yeah,

that's what i thought.

?Re a boring guy, terry.

That's why i love you.

[Laughing]

[Kissing]

Everybody knows

that women prefer

Accountants

over rock stars.

[Slaps back lightly]

Why do you have to

bring him up all the time?

That was before

we even met.

I'm just kidding.

You are not a boring man

to me, mr. Allen.

Hey.

I gotta go.

All right. Bye.

[Keys clacking]

[Humtically]

[Man]:

Hi.

Can i help you?

in our commemorative stamps?

No, thank you.

We have beluga whales,

legends of jazz,

Holiday cookies.

I just want to mail these.

All right.

[Keys beeping]

For future reference,

You can purchase postage

in the lobby

And just drop it

in the slot out there.

[Register tape advancing]

[Telephone ringing]

That's good to know.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

You too.

[President bush]:

... forsaking our friends.

They stand against us

Because we stand

in their way.

There are thousands

of these terrorists

In more than

60 countries.

They're recruited

from their own nations

And neighborhoods

And brought to camps

In places like

afghanistan,

Where they are trained

In the tactics

of terror.

They are sent back

to their homes

Or sent to hide

in countries

Around the world

To plot evil

and destruction.

[Jet rumbling overhead]

[Female reporter]:

that well-Dressed man

In the street

Might not be

who you think he is.

With holiday celebrations

and major sporting events

Right around

the corner,

The united states

government

Dispatched scores

Of casually dressed

nuclear scientists

To scour

five major u. S. Cities

For radiological,

Or so-Called
