INT. OFFICE CUBICLE - DAY Nick is on the phone with his girlfriend which is annoying Jaco who is behind him in his cubicle. NICK (into phone) ...Right now, I’m at work, using the internet, but in my mind I’m at home with you, also using the internet. We see Jaco quite frustrated. NICK you know... Approving clients, budgets, acquisitions, strategy faxes, emails, shares, corporate decision making. Bigboy stuff... Nick spots Tembi(The Floor Manager) walking past their cubicle and he suddenly puts the phone down. NICK (into phone - hastily) Okay love you see you later bye. TEMBI We have a new project on board and I need all hands on deck to present to client. Jaco and Nick spin around facing Tembi. They seem eager. TEMBI (to Nick) I want you to take these letters and put them into these envelopes and then put these pink stickers on them in the bottom right corner and then spray them with this perfume like this... Tembi gives quick example, then drops a stack of paperwork on Nick’s desk and leaves. Nick isn’t too happy about it and Jaco is amused at his reaction. Tembi walks off, but calls Jaco (Schalk Bezuidenhoudt) TEMBI Curly-boy...you’re with me.

Jaco is surprised & follows Tembi’s lead, but quickly dashes back as he forgot his notebook. He grabs it and gives a smug comment to Nick. JACO (to Nick) Right now, I’m going with the Boss to prepare for client, but in my mind I’m at home, also preparing for client. Nick is not happy with his box of envelopes as Jaco walks off confidently. CUT TO: GRAPHIC TITLE: Annoyed by the annoying office friend? NARRATOR(V.O) Annoyed by the annoying office friend?
