PREVIOUSLY ON NETWORK…
Nellie and Charlie were in the middle of a somewhat awkward exchange when Nellie 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.
BACK TO PRESENT EPISODE.
INT. PRESIDENT’S OFFICE - 2 HOURS LATER
Ash sits in his office chair.
He sighs as he looks at the computer.
ASH
Oh, what a day.
After he shrugs his shoulders, he hears a knock on the door.
The door opens to reveal WILL (28) standing with a nervous glare.
WILL
Hello, am I in the right place?
ASH
Of course. Come on in.
Will then takes a few steps and closes the door.
He sits in front of the desk.
ASH
Well, welcome to the team, Will. With your expertise, you will fit in quite nicely with the bunch.
WILL
I bet.
ASH
Now, why don’t I show you around?
The two of them get up from their places.
They exit the scene.
INT. BUSINESS HALLWAY - DAY
Ash and Will walk side by side.
Ash points at each door.
ASH
This is the conference room, where we usually hold meetings on important network matters. And this is the break room...we chill and do things.
Will nods accordingly.
Suddenly, Holly shows up in the hallway.
HOLLY
I didn’t realize it was a tour today.
ASH
Yeah, impromptu.
Holly turns towards Will.
HOLLY
So you’re the new guy in town, right?
WILL
You got that correct.
HOLLY
I’m Holly. I run security at this place.
WILL
Security, huh?
ASH
For protective reasons.
WILL
I see.
ASH
Well, look at the time. Looks like we have a meeting in ten minutes.
Will sees Jesse, Charlie, and Matt gather outside the conference room.
TO BE CONTINUED…
On the next episode of Network, it’s a pilot meeting.
