Much Ado About Cashflow

FADE IN:

1. INT. OFFICE – DAY

A large man – MR LANDLORD (do you see what we've done here?) – sits at a large desk, writing. Prominently displayed on the desk is a calendar showing the month of December. The number 25, printed in red ink, is easily visible.

LANDLORD stops writing and, very deliberately, pokes the red number 25. A peal of happy music rings out. LANDLORD laughs.

The telephone rings. LANDLORD picks up.

PERSONAL ASSISTANT (V/O)

A Mr Tenant here to see you, Mr Landlord sir.

LANDLORD

Right, thank you. Please send him in.

TENANT enters and sits in the chair across the desk from LANDLORD.

TENANT

I won't beat about the bush. I've come about the rent.
