ALLY (CONT’D)

Do me a favour Joe, give him a job.

Go on, you can put him on my team.

JOE:

Ally, it might come as a surprise

to you but I don’t assemble teams

on the basis of who might get off

with each other

ALLY:

Please Joe

Ordinary Lies 2 Episode 1 Pink Amends 5.

JOE:

He’s about ten, I don’t think a

soon to be divorced older woman is

exactly what he’s after

ALLY:

Look, I didn’t wanna have to tell

you this but... I wished him here,

cosmic ordering

JOE:

Yeah, well wish yourself back to

your desk and wish yourself top of

the sales team, because right now

you need all the help you can get -

Joe, turns away, shaking his head, despite being their boss

this kind of conversation is totally normal...

As he turns he comes face to face with -

TOKE:

No -

- the WAREHOUSE MANAGER BILLY ‘TOKE’ TOKINGTON.

TOKE (CONT’D)

-just turn around and take them

back where they came from JOE

Toke, it’s head office dictat.

TOKE:

Dictat - what is this - Nazi

Germany...

JOE:

It’s for the website. It’s fun.

‘Fun’. Toke just stares at him.

TOKE:

Tell Jenna, and I quote, ‘you’ve

more chance of seeing a one legged

cat sh*t on a frozen pond’.

JOE:

Okay, okay, fine.

He starts to walk away, then suddenly (playfully) dumps about

ten outfits on the warehouse floor.

JOE (CONT’D)

I’ll leave them there for you

He dashes off. We see WAREHOUSE PICKER Fletch and FORKLIFT

DRIVER Neil, amused. Toke fires after him, grabs them...

TOKE:

Doesn’t that contravene some kind

of health and safety dictat

He starts tossing them at Joe.

JOE:

No exceptions, quote unquote...

More get thrown, he dodges them...

TOKE:

Take ‘em with you -

Toke is chasing Joe, who is dodging left and right

TOKE (CONT’D)

I don’t want them -

Joe is laughing, but as he turns back he sees A FORKLIFT

turning this way, sh*t - he dodges to miss it and crashes

into one of the stock aisles, hard. Some boxes tumble down

onto him - smashing into his body...

It’s serious. He’s hurt.

TOKE (CONT’D)

You alright... Joe... mate...

Toke and the FORKLIFT DRIVER, Wendy Walker (tough, no

nonsense type), dash to help him, removes the boxes...

WENDY:

Joe... Joe...

He sits up, dazed, one landed on his head. Neil, another

fork lift driver, and Fletch, dash over...

FLETCH:

Joe...

JOE:

I’m alright...

He isn’t...

TOKE:

Mate, I’m so sorry...

JOE:

TOKE:

No, it was totally my

JOE:

It was an accident.
