1 INT. HOLLY’S CAR - DAY 9 1 *
Music kicks in, loud -Lies by Chvrches. We are inside the
car of Holly Pryce, mid-30s, cute face but not traditionally
attractive. Quirky.
*
She drives to work, singing along. This is her favourite
part of the day - just her and her tunes.
2 EXT/INT. COOPERS. CAR PARK. HOLLY’S CAR - DAY 9 2 *
Music carries over...
Holly’s car parking in the large car park of CoopersOutdoors. Other workers park, tread in. *
Holly yawns, then laughs to herself, she grabs her phone andtakes a SELFIE of herself - now doing a large fake yawn.
She quickly adds the photo to her NOT BLUE - ABSOLUTELY NOT
FACEBOOK - SOCIAL MEDIA page. With the message - YAWNINGALREADY, 8.57!

POST.
3 INT. COOPERS. CALL CENTRE - DAY 9 3 *
Music over...
Holly heading in, passing some regulars (ALLY, KARL and RAY),
already hard at work... past the HAPPY PEOPLE SELL sign...
past Karl.
*
KARL:
(deadpan voice, into hisheadset)
...you don’t have to be interested,
I’m a professional interest arouser- trying to get you to commit to
more mid range sportwear is more
like a calling than a job...

ALLY:
Tough, he’s not denying the rest of

Holly smiles, heads on...
...right to the end - where her desk is outside Jenna’s. *

Morning Jenna
JENNA:
Hi Holly - I need you to RSVP yes

Hands her an invite for an INDUSTRY ‘PERSPECTIVES’ DINNER. *
Holly, sparks her computer - which is on permanent standby -*
and, like the rest of the office based world - fires up her *
social media page (unseen by Jenna). *
JENNA (CONT’D)
Oh, and I spoke to Jag this *
morning, a couple of the reps are
reached their accounts...
HOLLY:
(rolls her eyes)
It’s like dealing with children -
how many times... it’s the 5th.
The 5th.
She scribbles a note to ‘ring accounts dept’. *
Jenna smiles. Turns to go. *
Holly sees how many people have already LIKED her photo and *
reads the comments... Smiles. *
JENNA *
You’re the oil in the engine Holly.
Oh, speaking of...
Holly turns back.
JENNA (CONT’D)
Personal request - pretty vital
actually -
Holly’s eyes widen - relishing the prospect of some important
role that requires her.
JENNA (CONT’D)
You know I’m on holiday from
Tuesday, well while I’m away - you
wouldn’t do the honours with Tigger
again would you - there’s a spa day
in it for you
Holly disappointed that is the request. Masks it.

HOLLY:
Of course.
She scrolls through other posts *
And we SMASH CUT, super fast to: photo of someone’s adorablekid; a couple in a pub, beers raised; a comedy drawing of apolitician with a penis head; a pair of legs on a beach -
‘hard at work!; another couple, laughing and pointing at a
horse in the countryside. On and on - a world of peopleposting about their glorious fun lives. It makes her feel a
small pang of inadequacy and disappointment.
