To recap: The employees have just found out that their company has been sold and some of them will be laid off. Meanwhile two of the Codeslingers, JP and Rambler, have traveled to a site to save the Lonely Site Engineer (Truman) and Marco finds himself under the spell of TexAnnie, a spunky blond tech writer.
In this scene you meet Nobody, a creature spawned from cube walls.
Setting: An empty conference room littered with nonsensical handouts from HR.
Enter Malcolm:
Where is everyone?
A head pops up from behind a cube wall.
Nobody:
They went on a bike ride with Texannie.
Malcolm:
Who are you?
Nobody:
I’m the Nobody
Malcolm:
Well, so am I, man,
just a guy who thought he had a plan,
thought he knew the score,
but no more...
They hear someone coming through the doors and duck behind the curtains.
Enter the three VCs.
VC1:
Will the Codeslingers give us trouble,
Or will they take the dough,
moving far away and agreeing
to lay low?
VC3:
We've got them by their greedy little balls
They can buy their own friggin' cafes
and fancy drink bars, trophy wives, and
expensive race cars.
VC1:
But when they find out about the others...
VC2:
Find out what?
VC 1
You know...
VC3:
When did you grow a heart?
When did you decide to give a care?
We're offering them all jobs.
Of that, you are aware.
VC1 In Pocatello Idaho! Jobs that don't exist
VC3 They won’t want to leave their precious Berkeley.
Their precious, precious Berkeley,
Although I don't know why,
It’s full of homeless stinkers,
And far left thinkers,
Wearing tie die, levis,
And Birkenstocks
They’ll say No!
We will not go!
And we’ll be off the hook,
For we offered them jobs
Which none of them took.
