INT. BREAK ROOM - DAY
PREVIOUSLY ON NETWORK...
Suddenly, a woman named NELLIE (34) enters the break room.
She turns towards Charlie.
Charlie freezes.
NELLIE
Hello there. I’m sure we’ve met before.
CHARLIE
What do you mean?
NELLIE
I’m Nellie, the newest network consultant.
Charlie turns towards Jesse.
BACK TO PRESENT EPISODE.
We turn back to Nellie, who crosses her arms.
Charlie sighs.
NELLIE
As you may know, I used to work in your line of work.
CHARLIE
A gossip columnist.
Nellie nods.
Charlie then begins to pace back and forth.
She stops to turn to Nellie with a disapproving glare.
CHARLIE
Question is: how in the world do you know my former line of work?
NELLIE
We were in rival publications.
Jesse nods.
JESSE
Well, welcome to the team.
NELLIE
Pleasure to be here.
Nellie then attempts to exit towards the door.
She then turns to Charlie.
NELLIE (CONT'D)
Oh, Charlotte, if you ever need assistance, you know where to find me.
CHARLIE
Okay, I guess.
Charlie shrugs as Nellie exits the scene.
She then turns to Ash with a disapproving glare.
CHARLIE (CONT’D)
Why the hell did you hire her?
ASH
We needed a new consultant. She was overqualified.
CHARLIE
But she hated my guts.
ASH
At least keep an open mind.
On the next episode of Network, we meet another person on staff. Writer’s Block fans, you might be familiar with this person.
