Scene 2

(The Torch. Chloe is speed typing. Kwan enters.)

Kwan- Ms. Sullivan?

(Chloe looks up and then stands up.)

Chloe- Oh, Mr. Kwan, I was just.

Kwan- Just what? I've heard complaints that there is no issue for the month.

Chloe- (points behind her) I was just working on one.

Kwan- Ms. Sullivan, you are one issue behind.

Chloe- I'm almost done.

Kwan- It doesn't matter, your deadline is up. I'm sorry to say, I have no choice but to relieve you of your duties. The Torch will be shut down until I can appoint a new editor.

Chloe- Mr. Kwan! I demand you reconsider! I only fell behind because my computer crashed!

Kwan- I'm tired of your excuses. You were put in charge because I thought you were responsible, but I now see you are not.

Chloe- The Torch is my life! I won't let it go without a fight!

Kwan- If you wish to protest, you will find yourself expelled. I think you should remove your belongings out of this office as soon as possible.

Chloe- It could take weeks to appoint a new editor, I'll burn through the night and I'll finish the issue!

Kwan- I'm sorry Ms. Sullivan. Your time is up.

Chloe- But!

(Kwan walks out.)
