J: I was going to tell you.
B: when?
J: after I got the job.
B: ah..you don�t have the job until I sign off and I don�t sign off until I ask the potential candidate a few questions such as: what the fuck are you doing here?
J: as part of our degree candidacy we�re required to get 3 credits of practical experience in our chosen field. So, I wrote a letter to the head of your art department saying I wanted to intern, submitted my transcripts, samples of my work and here I am.
B: here you aren�t. there�re other agencies where I don�t work.
J: that has nothing to do with it. Vengard is the best. Working here would look great on my resume. I�ll make important contacts. I�ll learn things that I wouldn�t learn in classroom.
B: learn them someplace else.
J: that�s not fair. I was accepted here totally on my merit. It had nothing to do with you. I thought you�d be pleased.
B: to see your face everyday?
J: I had no idea that our former relationship was still a problem for you
B: who said it was a problem? And who said that we were ever in a relationship?
J: well, then, I can see no reason that you would object to my completing my education. That you�re paying for.
J: brian
B: the ubiquitous Justin taylor.
J: fancy meeting you here.
B: fancy that. Where�s your boyfriend?
J: I don�t do boyfriends.
B: since when?
J: since we broke up.
B: what happened to the love that was gonna last for an eternity?
J: eternities aren�t as long as they used to be. Buy you a drink? Oh, I love this song. You like this song?
B: it fills the void.
J: I haven�t danced in forever.
B: knock yourself out.
J: no rush. I�ve got all night.
B: don�t you have to be at work in the morning?
J: so do you.
B: yea, the only difference is, I don�t have to impress my boss so he doesn�t fire my ass. Thanks for the drink.
J: hey brian.
J: it�s Mr. Kinney. Where is everyone?
J: they�re out to lunch.
B: well, that�s good that some people can afford the luxury to eat when iconic optics will be here in two hours and these boards are for shit.
J: can I help?
B: can you help? Am, yea. You can tell them I want one cell per board, twenty by thirty, in black foam core and century font in sixteen, no, make that twenty. You gonna write that down?
J: �one cell per board, twenty by thirty, black foam core, century font in sixteen, no make that twenty.�
B: so, how�s it going, taylor?
J: good. Everyone�s incredibly nice. and I�ve already learned more than I would in an entire semester of school.
B: that�s great
J: which says a lot about you, actually.
B: about me?
J: yea, they say the tone of the work place is established from the top. So it�s a great compliment to you that you have such a dedicated and hard working staff.
B: Maybe I was a little hard on you. Now, get back to work.
J: yes, Mr. Kinney.
B: Orange is the new blue? What the fuck was that?
J: she asked me.
B: well, who told you to answer?
J: I was just trying to be helpful.
B: ah, by undercutting me in front of the client? Your job was to put up the boards, which you could barely do, and keep your mouth shut.
J: I�m sorry, it won�t happen again.
B: you damn right it won�t. You�re through.
J: are you firing me?
B: you wanted to learn the job experience right? Lesson one: you fuck up, you�re gone.
J: but you got the account.
B: and she got my balls, thanks to you.
J: brian. Mr. Kinney, I would appreciate it if you�d give a second chance.
B: I never should have given you the first one. Now, pack up your shit and go home.
J: I guess I should have expected this. After all, you never wanted me here to begin with; didn�t wanna have to see my face everyday when you came into work. Although a part of me was kinda hoping that eventually you wouldn�t mind it. Maybe you�d even get used to it.
Brian laughs
J: I guess I was wrong to think that�hmm� fuck it. Never mind.
B: what? When your little romance with Paganini junior was over you could come running back?
J: yea, something like that.
B: sorry.
J: I know. It�s stupid.
B: almost as stupid as falling for his bullshit to begin with. But, you�re young, inexperienced.
J: What and you�re so smart? If you had any fucking brains at all you never would have let me leave. You would have told me I was making the biggest mistake of my life; that I would live to regret it; That what you gave me was worth a thousand, a million times more than anything he had to offer. You would have told me that you loved me. That you would go on loving me even after I was gone.
B: is that what you were waiting to hear?
J: yes, but as usual, you never said it. So, it�s just as well that I�d go.
B: that�s so like you! You don�t hear what you want so you leave. Try standing up for yourself, for a change. Have some balls!
B: taylor. Come in. sit down. You wanted to see me?
J (nods): I gave it some thought; I decided you should take me back.
B: oh?
J: even though I have made a few mistakes, I think you�d be making an even bigger one not to give me a second chance.
B: I see.
J: cause now I understand what it is you want of me. And I know what I can expect from you.
B: you also understand that you�ll be required to work long hard hours sometimes deep into the night?
J: it�ll be a pleasure to work under you, sir.
B: and you�re never to play violin music in my presence again.
J: I promise.
B: good. Well, then, you can start immediately.
