Mark walks back into his home. Anni is sat down smiling at him.

Anni: Good day.

Mark looks strangely at her.

Mark: Same as usual.

Anni: Good night then?

Mark goes and picks up some papers.

Mark: I have no idea what you are talking about.

Anni stands up and goes and stands next to Mark.

Anni: Told you the interview would be worth taking.

Mark: Don’t you have work to do or something?

Anni: No, Kevin called me to take everything off your schedule.

Mark: Yeah.

Anni looks confused.Anni: Any reason why?

Mark: I’ve taken David’s offer.

Anni: to screen write?

Mark: Yeah, for a bit.

Anni: What does that mean for me?

Mark: I will still need you to answer my phone calls and you know, whatever else I pay you to do.

Anni: I could do press work for the show.

Mark looks at Anni shocked.

Mark: No chance.

Anni: So, I’m stuck answering phone calls for the rest of my life?

Mark: Yes. Or you know, you could get a real job

Anni: You wouldn’t know what to do if I did.

Mark: Talking of your job, do I have any phone calls.

Anni: Elizabeth called, she wanted to know if you were available for another interview.

Mark: I will call her later.

Anni: You should call her now Mark. She seems really nice and that must be strange because she likes you.

Mark: I’m a lovely person.

Anni: A lovely person with a detachment disorder, meaning you push everyone away.

Mark: Hasn’t worked with you though.

Anni: Seriously Mark, give her a chance

Mark: Okay enough of that Jeremy, back to work

Anni: I will call her and say you will meet her somewhere tonight.

Mark: Go away.
