Something Borrowed

---

Kat’s trying not to get sucked in.

KAT:

I would love to help you.

Sincerely. But my sister’s getting

married this weekend, I haven’t

seen my family in two years, and my

flight leaves in fifteen minutes.

The Harried Employee looks like he’s going to lose it. Kat

struggles, then caves.

KAT (CONT’D)

You take Taipei. Tammy’s schnauzer

just had puppies.

Put her on the dead dog. Park reps

with wheelchairs at every john in T8.

If Grandma just got off a trans-con,

she’s gotta go sometime.

Kat starts to walk away.

HARRIED EMPLOYEE

What about line two?

Kat spins around and glares at him.

INT. OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER

On the phone, Kat is in the middle of saying way too much.

KAT:

(into phone)

I completely understand, sir. You

just want your in-laws to see you

the way you see yourself. Or at

least the way you would see

yourself if you didn’t feel so

victimized by them.

At that moment, a CLIPBOARD manager walks by. He overhears

Kat’s diatribe and is incredulous.

CLIPBOARD:

Hello? Calls may be monitored for

quality control?

KAT:

Huh?

CLIPBOARD:

Over-share!

Kat waves him off. Then, by rote:

KAT:

(into phone)

Mr. Rajagopal, we regret that you

were snowed in at Dulles but

snowstorms fall under a category

called force majeure. Along with

earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods.

In short, we’re not liable.
