MERRY, 45, a cold hearted career woman wearing a cold hearted career woman suit.
MERRY
Thanks, Graham, now our research tells
us that our core ‘Target Audience’ is
primarily a single man, earning a low
to middle income, late twenties to mid
thirties. A ‘sad lad’ who’s not
terribly accomplished in the company
of the opposite sex. He hasn’t got a
girlfriend but is keen to get one to
bolster his fragile masculinity. He
competes in a harsh ruthless
environment for the attention of the
few females that aren’t already taken
and needs as much help as he can
muster.
TERRY deflates.
INT. PRICE, DICKINSON, FULLER. CREATIVE DEPT - DAY
Spacious offices with executive chairs and large desks.
Apart from TERRY’s miserable office in the corner by the photocopier and the bogs. GORGEOUS
INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - DAY
TERRY doodles on his pad. Outside, SALLY, a PA with
pierced tongue and tight jeans, is bent over the
photocopier.
GRAHAM slips into the office closing the door behind him. GRAHAM
Baxter, are you busy?
TERRY
No...
GRAHAM
You see that’s the problem.
TERRY
Sorry?
GRAHAM
You need to start to step things up a
bit. There’s no room for passengers on
this ship. I need you to pull your finger
out, get your arse into gear. Do you
catch my drift?
