I ( rather foolishly ) signed up for a drama tournament at the very last minute, and I still need an introduction to my skit. I can't think of anything good, and the introduction my partner came up with makes no sense. My skit is about an office worker whose coworker has been promoted, and is now her boss. The boss proceeds to be very unfair.. Any, *any* help is GREATLY appreciated!

Hopefully, rewriting this will diminish the chances that I'll go blank at the competition... :o 1: *on phone* Okay, you can send her in now. *straightens herself out, Person 2 enters* Hey, thanks for stopping in! I hope you weren't waiting too long. 2: Only about twenty minutes.. 1: Sorry, couldn't be helped. I was on a call to England, just couldn't get off! 2: That happens. So, what do you need? 1: Sit down, I wanted to talk. *2 sits* I've been trying to meet with everyone ever since I got promoted to VP of Productions. 2: Jane, we;ve been working together for a while now- 1: I know.. I just wanted everyone to know what they can expect from me and what I'm going to expect from them now that, well, I'm in charge here. 2: Okay. 1: Tell me, what are you working on now? 2: Pretty much the same thing I was when we were in the same office. The Wilson Project, the Miller Deal, the Kramer Project... 1: I see. So here's what we're gonna do. I'm taking Wilson, Miller, and Kramer away from you and giving them to some others to work on. 2: I've been working on those for months! You can't just do that! 1: Not only can I do it, but I already did. 2: Why?! 1: I think you're a little... overloaded. I wanted to lighten your load. 2: Lighten my load? That is my load! Without that, what the hell am I going to work on? 1: Thinking was, you should work with rsearch for a while. 2: Research?! That's entry level! 1: Technically, yes, but all these kids coming in need someone to show them the ropes, and who better than you? 2: And exactly how long am I supposed to show them the ropes? 1: I guess until I say otherwise. 2: This is a bunch of crap, Jane, and you know it. 1: You can call it whatever you want, but I'm in charge here and this is where I want you. You don't have to do as I say, but I can certainly arrange a very nice severance package if you like. But believe me when I say that you days as production manager are done. 2: *stands up and walks to door* We'll just see about that. 1: Have a nice day, Nancy! 2: Why are you doing this? 1: I have my reasons. ** more arguing and bickering, and we find out that Jane wants to get Nancy out of the way so that when the president of the whole company ( her father ) retires, the whole thing will go to her ** >> FAST FORWARD >> Eventually, Nancy ( 2 ) tells Jane that she has a recorder and has just recorded everything she said. Jane then has no choice but to give Nancy her work back, and keep quiet. THANK YOU! :D
