927-FE681-D317-4-F23-B87-C-5138209-CCF23
Fred: CEO

Kevin: CFO

Gregory: General Manager

Christina: Director of Marketing & Promotions

Ruthie: Project Manager


FRED, KEVIN, GREGORY, CHRISTINA, and RUTHIE are all in a SugarCity boardroom. 


FRED

Sorry for the delay everyone. In the mean time, the ad’s been animated. 


CHRISTINA

Doesn’t it take months to do that? 


FRED

Not when you hire the company we hired. Anyways, it looks terrible. 


CHRISTINA

Yeah, I wonder why. 


FRED

Take a look. 


FRED plays the ad for the AGRUS bar. 


GREGORY

Looks like an episode of Western Park. 


FRED

Not what it’s called. 


KEVIN

I’m no creative type, but maybe we can sell it off as some type os satire thing? You know, say it’s a parody of other ads. Make them not take it seriously. 


FRED

Not a terrible idea given the circumstances. 


RUTHIE

This would’ve never happened if we went with Baby Ruthie. 


FRED

Yes it would’ve. So long as I was CEO, it would’ve happened. 


CHRISTINA

Well at least you’re owning up to your mistakes. 


FRED

I’m not getting forced out for this, right? 


KEVIN

Only if the AGRUS Bar flops beyond belief. And even then, CEOs don’t get forced out. They resign. 


FRED

Kevin, we all know CEOs don’t resign unless they’re being forced out. They’re all a bunch of Dicks. 


GREGORY

Whoa!


FRED

Dick Nixon! Sorry about that. 


CHRISTINA

And did you just compare yourself to Richard Nixon? 


FRED

Yeah, I guess I did. Anyways, the ad. We’re airing it? 


RUTHIE

I guess we are. 


FRED

We should focus group it, actually. 


CHRISTINA

No, we shouldn’t. Remember the last focus group? 


GREGORY

Weren’t you the one in favor of focus groups? 


CHRISTINA

Yep! I’ve changed my mind though. People do that. 


GREGORY

Are you suggesting I’m not a person? Just because I run a factory doesn’t mean I’m a robot!


KEVIN

And just because I’m good with numbers doesn’t mean I’m a robot!


RUTHIE

Nobody was accusing you of such, Kevin. 


FRED

So we’re really going for so-bad-it’s-good. 


GREGORY

Or social commentary. We can call critics racist. 


FRED

I think you’re onto something! You know, I think this is really going to work. Meeting dismissed. 


KEVIN

Wait a minute! What’s the next step? You always tell us what the next step is before we leave!


FRED

Well, I had intended on advertising during the Olympics but it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna happen after our unexpected break. 


KEVIN

COVID?


FRED

Uh…yeah. Sure. Am I under oath right now? Anyways, we’ll figure out some shows to advertise this on. 


KEVIN, GREGORY, CHRISTINA, and RUTHIE walk out. 


RUTHIE

Is it me or are our meetings awfully short? 


CHRISTINA

Fred’s just to the point. I think he’s scared he’s gonna say or do something stupid and get fired, maybe. Should we talk to him about making them longer? 


RUTHIE

Oh no, I’m not complaining. Just pointing it out.
