 Inter-office Love

Location: Factory
Character: Boss, Peon

[The scene starts in the office at a factory.]

Boss: Johnson – get your ass in here.
Peon: Yes Mr. Barnett, what is it?
Boss: I’ve heard you’re dating one of the fellow employees.
Peon: Um, that’s right sir.  I actually wanted to talk to you about a raise.  I think that my work merits an additional 6% raise.
Boss: You have the nerve… to come in here… and start tellin me you need a raise?  After you broke one HRs major’s heart.
Peon: Well sir, the person I’m dating is your daughter…
Boss: WHAT?
Peon: That’s right.  And if you have any hopes of getting her out of the house, I’m going to need a raise.
Boss: How dare you ar- wait, did you say that would help me get out do
Peon: Sir, I’m just saying a 6% raise could go a long way.  After that, youre daugther will be so consumed me she isn’t around to force you to watch American Idol.
Boss:  You’re saying I could get out of seeing Simon’s face every week.  Raise granted.
