The Weather Girl - pages 17-20

INT. TAYLOR AND HUDSON - DAY

Leonard sits in his cubicle. A pile of papers is dropped on
his desk.

Doug stands outside Leonard's cubicle.

DOUG
Get that back to me by, oh,
tomorrow.

Leonard seems confused as he looks through the papers.

Doug walks through the cubicles.

Doug looks into Carrie's cubicle and winks.

Doug exits.

Leonard starts flipping through the stack of papers.

Carrie pokes her head out of her cubicle.

Leonard's phone rings and Leonard answers.

LEONARD
Hello?

CARRIE
(muffled)
Hey, do you need a hand?

Leonard pokes his head out of his cubicle.

Carrie holds a phone on her ear as she peeks around her
cubicle.

LEONARD
Well, uh, I don't want to keep you
from your work.

CARRIE
(muffled)
Oh, it won't take long. I remember
what it was like being the new guy.
Well, girl, oh, you know what I
mean.

LEONARD
Ok, thanks.

Carrie flashes a thumbs up sign and hangs up her phone.

Carrie scampers from her cubicle to Leonard's cubicle.

Carrie leans over Leonard's desk and flips through the
papers.

CARRIE
Ok, this makes absolutely no sense,
but this is how we do it. Now
report A is the epidemiological
date, like from test groups, you
know, organized by income level,
location, race, you know.

Leonard seems overwhelmed.

CARRIE (CONT'D)
Report B cross references report A
with income and buying habits,
creating numbers inputted into the
HALO sheet, the Hatten analysis
load offering.

Leonard looks out the window. Carrie continues her focus on
the papers. As Carrie talks, the sky brightens and the day
becomes sunny. Leonard tilts his head and looks like he's
thinking.

CARRIE (CONT'D)
This is supposed to show what
elements people are looking for,
but really, I don't think it does
anything. It's just something
fancy to show execs. But really,
you just need to make a good
summary and have it make sense, and
you'll be fine.

Leonard turns back to Carrie.

CARRIE (CONT'D)
You think you got it?

LEONARD
I hope, but thank you.

CARRIE
Oh, it's not problem. And don't
worry, no one will expect you to be
perfect immediately.

Carrie nods and scampers back to her cubicle.

Carrie flashes a thumbs-up to Leonard before entering her
cubicle.

Leonard bites his lips and flips through the papers.

The page shows a chart of numbers.

Leonard flips from page to page, showing page after page of
numbers.

Leonard taps his finger on the papers and looks from side to
side.

Leonard exhales, puffing his cheeks.

Leonard lifts his cell phone and hits a button.

There is the sound of a speed dial, followed by ringing.

AGENT BOB
This is Bob.

LEONARD
You know anything about
advertising?

Leonard smiles.



INT. TAYLOR AND HUDSON - CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

Leonard stands at the head of the room. Various poster
boards and a powerpoint screen are behind Leonard. All the
charts are colorful and vibrant.

LEONARD
So to summarize, our data shows
that the most visible color schemes
are red mixed with black, and
though humor has it's place, the
sense of competitiveness is key.

Taylor, Carrie, Doug, Sarah, and others sit around the room
and appear in awe.

Leonard looks about and takes a step back.

TAYLOR
Wow.

Leonard smiles a little and raises his eyebrows.

TAYLOR (CONT'D)
Now that is how presentations are
supposed to go. Take notes people.

Doug frowns.

TAYLOR (CONT'D)
You, tell everyone here how you did
that.

Leonard looks left.



INT. HOMELAND SECURITY - DAY

Leonard walks the office, where Agent Bob, the Bartender, the
Vendor, and other agents sit.

Leonard drops a pile of papers onto one of the desks.

LEONARD
Analyze these.

Leonard walks along, dropping a pile of papers onto desk
after desk.

LEONARD (CONT'D)
Analyze these, analyze these,
analyze these, analyze these.

The agents all pour over the papers.

AGENT BOB
How would you like these organized?

LEONARD
Can you guys do powerpoint?

Agent Bob nods.

LEONARD (CONT'D)
How about posters?

Agent Bob nods.

LEONARD (CONT'D)
Anything else?



INT. TAYLOR AND HUDSON - CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

Leonard stands in front of Taylor and the others as before.

LEONARD
Oh, almost forgot, here's a summary
for each of you.

Leonard lifts a pile of professionally bound booklets and
hands them around the room.

Taylor nods with a satisfied look on his face.

Carrie flashes Leonard a thumbs up.
