INT. 3RD FLOOR LAWYERS OFFICE
The site foreman has himself a new ward - hired from a temp labor agency - a fresh faced, know nothing kid named BOB who practically glows with pride at being the boss man’slittle bitch …err … gofer.
BOB : What do you want me to do now?
FOREMAN: I want you to free up my wood while I do such and such a thing over here.
BOB : You got it.
ME (OS) : Cha - ching!
Bob turns toward the sound.
ME (OS) : That’s sexual harassment.
BOB’S POV
Of me painting a bathroom door.
BOB (OS) : Pardon?
TWO SHOT
ME : Sexual harassment.
Bob’s a blank slate. I lower my brush. Talk slower. Talk conspiratorially softer.
ME : He wants - you - to free up - his wood.
A light flickers on in Bob’s eyes. I click my tongue.
ME : Sexual harassment.
Bob groans. Bob fakes laughter.
BOB : Oh that. Well, it’s only harassment if the proposition intimidates me.
ME : So freeing up the bosses wood doesn’t intimidate you? (turns to co-worker) It doesn’t intimidate him…
CO - WORKER (OS) : Kids these days.
