Int. Office – Day<\/p>\n
STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n JACK:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s an elephant.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Why is everybody ignoring it? It\u2019s standing on my gym kit, and I could really do with going home in the next few minutes or so.<\/p>\n JACK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, not sure. Try asking IT.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n IT?<\/p>\n JACK:<\/strong><\/p>\n HR then.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you sure HR will be able to do anything? They\u2019ll be too caught up running pay-roll to be bothered.<\/p>\n JACK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Have you even tried IT?<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n No. I haven\u2019t tried them yet. I\u2019ll try them now.<\/p>\n Steve picks up the phone handset and dials three numbers on the keypad. He waits a few seconds before someone picks up at the other end.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi, who\u2019s that?<\/p>\n Small pause<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi Jeff, Yeah, It\u2019s Steve in Strategy, wondered if you could help me out.<\/p>\n Short pause, as Steve listens a bit.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s an elephant in the room and it\u2019s standing on my gym kit, I don\u2019t know really how to get it to move.<\/p>\n Pause<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n No, there are no flashing lights on it. I think it\u2019s a real elephant.<\/p>\n Steve waits and listens to the Jeff at the other end, he makes some \u2018uh-huh!\u2019 and \u2018mmm!\u2019 and \u2018okay!\u2019 and similar noises that suggest agreement and general listening.<\/p>\n Steve goes down to his computer and presses the power button in for three or four seconds.<\/p>\n The computer shuts down with a little \u2018beep\u2019. The noise makes the elephant move about a foot, off Steve\u2019s gym bag.<\/p>\n STEVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, brilliant! That seems to have worked!<\/p>\n Steve stands up off his desk, grabs the bag and walks out of the office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Int.
