Better than Nothing
Well, maybe not for the reader...[Scene: an office. Businessman sitting behind desk.]
INTERCOM: He’s here, sir. Would you like me to send him in?
BUSINESSMAN: Yes, please.
[In walks pale man dressed in a business suit, with a cape]
PALE MAN: [has a Romanian accent] Hello.
BUSINESSMAN: Hello. [Gets up, shakes his hand.] Please, have a seat. [Both sit] How are you?
PALE MAN: Fine, thank-you.
BUSINESSMAN: I’ve had a look at your résumé. I thought I’d invite you in here to get to know you a bit better and see if you’re right for the position.
PALE MAN: Yes, thank-you.
BUSINESSMAN: You seem pretty qualified. You have an M.B.A. from the University of Bucharest. That’s in… Hungary?
PALE MAN: No, Romania. Budapest is in Hungary.
BUSINESSMAN: Right, right. So you’re a Romanian citizen?
PALE MAN: Yes.
BUSINESSMAN: But you have a work permit?
PALE MAN: Yes, of course.
BUSINESSMAN: And you’re comfortable working in English?
PALE MAN: Yes, quite comfortable.
BUSINESSMAN: All right. So, what can you tell me to convince me that you are the right man to work in the front office of the Florida Marlins?
PALE MAN: I suck people’s blood.
BUSINESSMAN: Fine. So, I have two other people that I’m considering for the job. I’ll be meeting them this afternoon, so I should have an answer for you one way or the other by Friday. Is that all right with you?
PALE MAN: Yes, yes, that’s fine. So I should expect a phone call?
BUSINESSMAN: Yes, I’ll give you a call, or my secretary will. [gets up, with outstretched hand] Thanks for coming in.
PALE MAN: Thank-you for considering me. [shakes hand]
BUSINESSMAN: Good-bye.
PALE MAN: Good-bye. [Exits]
[Businessman looks at papers on his desk. Credits roll on screen accompanied by dramatic music.]
[Scene: Two guys watching television]
GUY 1: That was boring.
GUY 2: Why'd you rent this?
GUY 1: I thought “Interview with a Vampire” was supposed to be good.
GUY 2: Who told you that?
[GUY 1 shrugs]
