INT. WORK OFFICE - THURSDAY , 13:45PM.

Scott is working but starts to become distracted by his co-worker Natalie. She doesn't notice him as she is to busy flirting with Glenn. They are laughing and Scott becomes insanely jealous. He starts to clench his fists and bangs them of the table. He picks up some papers and heads for the photocopier.

INT. WORK OFFICE - Thursday , 14:20PM

Scott comes back to the desk and drops the papers down. He is still annoyed about Natalie flirting with Glenn. He watches glenn until Angela , the boss , distracts him by dropping a folder of papers in front of him.

ANGELA

SCOTT

I do have a life outside of work Angela.

ANGELA

So do I Scott. Surely you should of known what you was signing up to before you applied for the job.

SCOTT

Ill get it done and ready for you by Monday.

Angela walks of. He becomes stressed and puts his face into his hands. He then unlocks the draw to his desk. He opens the draw. Inside are scattered photos of Natalie. He runs his fingers down the photo at the top of the pile. Someone walks past and he quickly closes up the draw.

SCOTT

Well I hope you weren’t planning on doing anything important after work.

(Laughs)

Natalie doesn’t turn fully but she notices the knife in the corner of her eye. She acts like she didn't notice

it.

NATALIE

What do you … mean Scott?

SCOTT

Do you know what i find funny? The fact i thought you generally liked me. You played with my emotions for the

last time Natalie.

NATALIE

But Scott ever since i started here you've been my rock. If it wasn't for you i don’t think i would be here. I

thought you was my friend. You've been more of a friend to me then Glenn-

(waves knife in the air)

Here we go again with fucking glenn. Do you like him? Is there something Glenn has that I don’t?

NATALIE

You think i like glenn. Jesus Scott he's a dick. Have you seen the way he treats women? I only go on dates with him

cause he buys me food.

( Her finger edges for the hardback book on the table)

SCOTT

So what went on in the kitchen the other day. You was all over him .

NATALIE

I… don't think thats any of your business.

SCOTT

So you was acting like a Classless slut for nothing?

Natalie grabs the book and hits him over the head. he falls of the desk onto the floor with the book. She runs to the lift doors. The doors close and she goes up. You

see him running up the stairs and stands outside the lift on the second floor. The doors open and she is shocked to see him. He pulls her out the lift. The lift doors close

and it ends.
