INT. OFFICE - DAY Everyone is working, typing emails, it’s nice and quite in the office. NICK So what did everyone do this weekend? Quitely Jaco mumbles. JACO I got my haircut. TEMBI Haircuts are great, because you do none of the work and get all of the credit... NICK It reminds me of Jaco. TEMBI & JACO Becauese he does all of the work, and we get all of the crecit. Nick and Tembi laugh. The office thinks it’s funny. but not Jaco, shaking touching his hair with self-awareness. WIPE TO: SERIES OF SHOTS. Tembi & Nick does her comedy act to all the employees at the workplace. - In the lift. - In the kitchen. - In the printing room. - parking lot Jaco is a loner and tries to avoid them, observing from a distance as they ridicule him.

INT. DESK - LATER a RANDOM LADY stops at Jaco’s desk, noticing that he got his hair cut RANDOM LADY (mocking with question) Hey...did you get a haircut this weekend? JACO I’m actually trying to type an email here-RANDOM LADY --it looks really nice. nice and short. Jaco seems frustrated, and bursts out! JACO (furiously) Yes. I did. I did get a haircut, and you know what. It makes me feel good about myself. it’s also nice and refreshing when the airbon blows on my neck. It tickles. WIDE: The attention from the entire office is on him. Everyone is Silent from Jaco’s outburst. CUT TO: NARRATOR(V.0) Tired of the Office Comedian?
