Since my first installment was fairly short and I already finished a few more pages, I figured I would post another short installment for everyone's enjoyment.
Again, please review if you read it...I'd like to hear opinions whether they be positive or negative!
Part 2
INT. SCRANTON CONFERENCE ROOM.
Creed is speaking to the camera.
CREED: So, the cute girl that answers the phones is having a birthday. I told Michael when my birthday was, it was a month ago. I never got any cake. To make up for it I loaded my trunk with a third of the stationary supply closet. (pauses) Michael said it was there for us to use...so I used it by returning it all to a Staples store for in-store-credit...which I used to buy one of these gizmos (holds up a PDA). It's the closest thing to a computer I've ever owned.
INT. SCRANTON OFFICE
Phyllis walks by Pam at the reception desk holding a large sheet cake. She walks in to the conference room and sets it down on the table. Angela is there putting out plates, napkins and forks.
ANGELA: Is that a vanilla cake?
PHYLLIS: It's vanilla and chocolate marbled.
ANGELA: Some people don't like vanilla, Phyllis. (sighs)
PHYLLIS: Who doesn't like vanilla cake?
ANGELA: I don't know...some people.
INT. SCRANTON CONFERENCE ROOM.
Dwight is speaking to the camera.
DWIGHT: I don't like vanilla cake. When I was 8, I once went to a birthday party and ate four pieces of vanilla cake. I threw up all over the Chuckie-Cheeses we were at and I was never invited to another birthday party.
(pauses)
Besides, chocolate is superior. Back in the old days in Mayan culture chocolate was reserved for the noblemen and esteemed members of society. Vanilla was eaten by the peasants.
INT. OFFICE
A delivery man walks in the door with a small bouquet of flowers. He walks up to reception.
DELIVERY MAN: Is there a (looks at card) Pam Beezly in this office?
PAM: Yea that's me.
Pam looks at the camera with a smile and shrugs.
DELIVERY MAN: Enjoy.
The delivery man exits as Pam looks at the flowers and the card attached. Kelly walks up to the desk just as she begins reading the card.
KELLY: Oh, they are so pretty! Are you seeing someone now?
PAM: No...they're from...Roy.
KELLY: Oh, well that was sweet of him. They are very pretty flowers. I wish Ryan would buy me flowers once in awhile.
The camera swivels to Ryan who is at Jim's old desk, in earshot of reception. Ryan looks at the camera with a slightly scared look.
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM.
Ryan is speaking towards the camera
RYAN: Yea...so...Kelly is not the most subtle person out there. (pauses) Our relationship is like a runaway train, ya know? I need to stop it somehow before it ends in complete disaster and takes several innocent lives with it.
INT. OFFICE
Michael comes out of his office and beats his hands on the reception desk like it's a drum. Dwight approaches behind him.
MICHAEL: Birthday girl! Are you ready to paaartay?
Michael follows that with making "raise the roof" motions. Dwight follows suit and continues to "raise the roof" even after Michael stops.
MICHAEL: Dwight, what are you doing? You ruined it...the roof was already raised! You just...lowered it back down.
Dwight looks slightly confused and drops his arms to his side.
INT. MICHAEL'S OFFICE
Michael is speaking to the camera
MICHAEL: Raising the roof. It's the international symbol of getting a party...going. One person doing it, it gets people excited. When two people do it...(pauses)...it's just...lame. Totally uncool.
INT. OFFICE
The front part of the office is empty except for Pam. She is putting her flowers in a vase and placing them on her desk. She stares at them for a moment. Everyone has already gathered in the conference room so she walks over and enters.
INT. STAMFORD OFFICE.
Jim is sitting at his desk. He takes a deep breath and picks up the phone and begins dialing a number. In the middle of the number he hangs the phone up and looks dejectedly down at his desk. He sighs, struggling with himself to gather the courage to make the call. He glances at the camera and then back to his desk, shaking his head.
