Neil and Kevin's First Day At Work is a short film created for Plymouth Rock Studios' Hollywood East TV website.

Transcript

(The camera zooms in and out on the face of Neil, whose hair looks quite messy.)
NEIL: Man, I’ve never used an HBX before— it’s got, like, manual zoom, and HD and like, 30p mode— I mean it’s just really cool, don’t you think?
KEVIN: (taking the cap off a camera he is holding) Yeah, yeah, this one’s really cool too… I think my father had one of these.
(The scene changes. Kevin is now standing.)
KEVIN: Sh-should I be honest?
NEIL: Yeah, just be honest.
KEVIN: Really? Okay. Well, um, this is our vlog about uh, how we started working at the studio— at Hollywood East TV, really…uh, gonna do some, uh, content for the site. Uh, it’s really cool, it’s our first day… Actually, it’s our second day at work— we forgot to shoot the first day, but we’re here now; we’re using ten-thousand dollar cameras to shoot this.
(The camera swivels to show Neil’s upside-down face.)
KEVIN: Yeah, they’re fragile…
NEIL: Oh, so this…(accidentally hits his hands on the wall) So this is our office. It’s got a door, it’s got computers, it’s got speakers, it’s got coffee, it’s got cameras, it’s got a, uh, sofa, it’s got chairs, like the one I’m sitting in right now…
(Kevin grins while repeatedly flipping the lights on and off.)
(Neil points to each object as he names it.)
NEIL: It’s got walls— like, we’re just gonna probably fill them with posters and pictures and stuff ‘cuz we’re creative people. And, um, so the only problem is the computers are Macintoshes— Apple, I don’t know if you’ve heard of them… but, uh, we’re PC guys, me and Kevin, right, Kevin?
KEVIN: Mm-hmm.
NEIL: Yeah, so, I don’t know, uh, we have to get used to them. I mean, it’s like a whole different method of, like… check this out.
(Neil puts the bottom of the mouse up to his mouth.)
NEIL: Screen turn on!
(Nothing happens. Neil looks confused.)
KEVIN: Where’s this one’s… cord?
NEIL: They all look the same to me— it’s just like, little symbols. It doesn’t mean anything to me.
KEVIN: Alright, I think this is it!
NEIL: (gasps as the monitor turns on) Oh, I see, it’s kinda like Windows.
(Kevin hits his head on the computer desk, then the scene changes.)
NEIL: I’ve been sitting here for three hours…just…thinking, and I can’t think of a better place to work.
KEVIN: Hey, I have to go to the bathroom.
(Neil pats Kevin on the back.)
NEIL: (assuringly) They have one!
