00:06 [ MAN #1, MAN #2, and WOMAN stand around talking] WOMAN: You guys met the new receptionist, Linda?

00:08 MAN #2: Yeah.

00:09 MAN #1: Yeah!

00:09 MAN #2: She's cool.

00:09 WOMAN: She's nice, right?

00:10 MAN #2: She's cool.

00:11 MAN #1: She's kind of slow, don't you think?  I mean, you haven't noticed?

00:14 WOMAN: She's been having a little bit of trouble with the phones, but --

00:16 MAN #1: The phones? The phones and everything else.  The phones, the paperwork, the copy machine . . .

00:18 MAN #2: Shhh!! She's [pointing offscreen]

00:20 [whispering] MAN #1: I don't care.  She needs to know this!

00:21 WOMAN: She can't use the copy machine? 

00:23 MAN #1: She can't even… she was like fumbling around with it the other day.

00:24 WOMAN: It's one button. [pantomimes pushing a button] Beep.

00:25 MAN #1: Yeah, exactly.  Well, you tell her that.  It is one button, but she just can't seem to get it.

00:29 MAN #2: Yeah.

00:30 WOMAN: Well, there are a lot of codes to remember and stuff.  We should give her a break.  It's like her second day?

00:34 MAN #2: I know my first day I was a mess.

00:37 MAN #1: It could also be broken.  You don't think that the copy machine --

00:39 WOMAN: What, the copy machine?

00:40 MAN #2: It's probably broken.

00:41 MAN #1: Has anyone used it lately?

00:43 MAN #2: I just send my assistant.  I'm never going there again.

00:46 WOMAN: Well, that's because we need a new one, and they're not going to send us a new one anytime soon.

00:49 MAN #1: Yeah, and ten photocopies a week.  Give me a break. [Fade to black.]
