FADE IN: INT. TV NEWS WRITER'S ROOM
LOU
Now listen, Mary. I don't care how much faith you have in
Baxter I do NOT want him to go undercover to get a story
on that flea market everybody thinks is really a front for a
high-stakes bingo operation. No! No, he can't do it!
MARY
But, Mr. Grant! Just listen to me for a second. Please?
LOU
MARY
LOU
Time's up. Out! Get out, Mary. I have another meeting. Out! Shoo!
MARY'S MOUTH IS LEFT OPEN IN DISBELIEF.
LOU SHOVES MARY OUT OF HIS OFFICE, CAUSING HER TO LOSE HER BALANCE AND FALL DOWN ON THE FLOOR, KNOCKING HER HEAD ON MURRAY'S DESK.
MARY
OW! (censored) Mr. Grant! You pig!
LOU'S DOOR OPENS BACK UP A CRACK.
LOU
Did you say something, Mary?
MARY
Ah, no, Mr. Grant. I think that was one of those actors who are
always typing in this office but never say anything. Yeah, it was one
of those guys.
LOU
LOU'S DOOR SHUTS.
