INTERIOR PRODUCER'S BUILDING-DAY:
Micky gets a script from the secretary and sits down in a small office lobby. There are three or four other guys waiting. He recognizes a couple of them from other recent interviews.
SECRETARY: Micky Braddock?
MICKY: Yes?
SECRETARY: They will see you now.
Micky goes through to an inner office and is immediately struck by the unconventional ambiance. First of all the place is a mess. There are magazines scattered everywhere, a half-eaten pizza on the floor, and stacks of used coffee cups are piled up on the desk. "This kinda looks like my apartment," thinks Micky to himself. He also notices this strange smell, kinda like burning weeds...
Micky expects to see an older man in a gray suit sitting behind a desk. Instead, he sees two guys lounging on the couch. They're in their thirties, wearing jeans and T-shirts, and their hair is longer than his! Micky is slightly taken aback but recovers quickly. Some little voice inside of him says "This is different. This is cool. Go for it!"
It's been a couple of seconds since he entered the room and not a word has been spoken. They're checking him out. Micky walks right up to the desk, takes a coffee cup from one of the stacks and deftly places it on the desk.
MICKY:Checkmate...
FADE OUT...
