(ESTABLISHING SHOT: Middleton Multiplex)
(Cut to the interior- personnel office. RON sits at a desk talking to the INTERVIEWER)
INTERVIEWER: Okay, Mr. Stoppable, I understand you'd like to work here.
RON: Yeah, that's right. I love the movies so I figured the best place to work would be the movie theatre.
INTERVIEWER: What experiences do you have with movie theatres?
RON: Well, I go to a lot of movies... and I eat a lot of concession stand food.
INTERVIEWER: I see. There's no popcorn quite like the concession stand popcorn, is there?
RON: None that even come close.
INTERVIEWER: The secret is the butter.
RON: I knew it.
INTERVIEWER: Anyway, it's clear you've had a lot of experience in the foreground field of movies, but have you had any technical experience?
RON: Like?
INTERVIEWER: Like running a projector. We need someone who can work a projector.
RON: Um, no, but, hey, you know, how hard could it be?
INTERVIEWER: Very difficult, actually.
RON: Really?
INTERVIEWER: Of course, because you'd be working all the projectors.
RON: But, but there's over twenty screens!
INTERVIEWER: Right, so you'd be pretty busy. You start one reel, take another reel off, check some other reels to make sure they're running smoothly, play commercials on one or two other screens... it's a complicated job.
RON: I know I can do it, sir! I've worked with Kim Possible. If she can do anything, I can do anything.
INTERVIEWER: That's the kind of attitude we like here at the Middleton Multiplex. You start immediately.
RON: I won't let you down!
(Cut to a time card, it reads "Five Minutes Later")
(Cut to the exterior of the Middleton Multiplex. RON is thrown out, several reels of film wrapped around him)
RON: What? It was an accident! Come on, anyone could have jammed a projector by dropping an M&M into it! Don't blame me! Blame the M&M Company for making their product bigger than normal! (Beat) You know, Rufus could probably fix those projectors.
(RUFUS pops out of his pocket)
RUFUS: Yeah!
RON: How about a second chance? I can be more coordinated, I swear! I'm sure you've had a lot of employees wreck all the projectors by tripping over the plugs! (Beat) Hello? Hello?
(RUFUS shrugs)
RUFUS: Hmmm. No dice.
RON: Onward, I guess.
(RON walks off)
(Cut to the Middleton Mall)
(Cut to the interior, Club Banana. KIM walks through the entrance)
KIM: Home sweet home.
MONIQUE: (OC) Kim!
(MONIQUE rushes forward)
MONIQUE: What's up, girl? Come to shop?
KIM: Hey, Monique. No, actually. I was kind of wondering if you still happened to have a job opening.
MONIQUE: Oh, sorry, Kim, I wish you had come in a few minutes earlier, position's just been grabbed.
KIM: Awe, man, by whom?
(BONNIE walks forward)
BONNIE: Monique, I've finished stacking the khakis according to size, Monique, what else do you want me to do? Oh, hey, Kim, can I help you with something?
(BONNIE grins)
KIM: (To herself) Really should have seen that coming. (To BONNIE) No thanks, Bonnie, just dropping in to say hi to Monique.
BONNIE: I see. Smarty Mart is much more within your budget, isn't it?
(BONNIE walks off)
MONIQUE: I'm sorry, Kim.
KIM: Eh, it's no big. I couldn't expect you to hold a job for me forever.
MONIQUE: I knew you'd understand.
KIM: (Of BONNIE) Work her hard.
MONIQUE: Girl, I'm gonna make her earn that paycheck.
KIM: I'm sure you will. Later.
MONIQUE: Later.
(KIM leaves)
(Cut to the Florida Movie Theatre)
(Cut to the interior, the employee's lounge. EMPLOYEES 1 & 2 are handing money to CHRISTIE ROAD)
EMPLOYEE 1: I can't believe it, I just can't believe it.
CHRISTIE: Believe it. Fifty bucks from both of you... (Sniffs the bills) "I love the smell of commerce in the morning!"
(EMPLOYEE 2 looks at his watch)
EMPLOYEE 2: What're you talking about, morning, it's 5:30.]
EMPLOYEE 1: It's a quote.
EMPLOYEE 2: Oh.
CHRISTIE: None too bright, are you?
EMPLOYEE 2: Just get out of here, it's your shift.
CHRISTIE: Farewell, gentlemen!
(CHRISTIE walks out a door)
EMPLOYEE 1: I don't get it, I just don't get it.
EMPLOYEE 2: Something's got to be up.
(Cut to the exterior, CHRISTIE steps into the ticket booth. She turns on a light. A CUSTOMER approaches)
CUSTOMER: One for Marred Attack.
CHRISTIE: Marred Attack? Please... that movie stinks.
CUSTOMER: Yeah?
CHRISITE: Oh yeah.
CUSTOMER: Well what do you recommend?
(CHRISTIE takes out her watch. The CUSTOMER goes into a trance)
CHRISTIE: You will see Cashiers and the movie is twenty bucks.
(The CUSTOMER forks over twenty bucks and goes into the theatre. CHRISTIE chuckles)
VOICE: (OC) Very entertaining.
(CHRSTIE freezes)
CHRISTIE: My spider senses tell me I'm in trouble.
