ASHLEY, HECTOR, EVAN, and SCOTT are sitting in SCOTT’s apartment. With morale low, they decided against sneaking into an office meeting space.
HECTOR
Should we check?
EVAN
Check what?
HECTOR
What do you think?
EVAN
STREAM?
HECTOR
Obviously.
ASHLEY
Honestly, I’d rather just scroll through social media at this point. It’s too depressing to look at STREAM’s numbers.
HECTOR
Fair.
SCOTT
Guys…I’ve been doing that for the past half hour.
ASHLEY
We can tell.
SCOTT
I think I stumbled upon one of our shows.
ASHLEY
What are you talking about, are you on STREAM or social media?
SCOTT
A clip of one of our pilots is going viral.
HECTOR
Let me see this!
HECTOR looks at SCOTT’s phone.
HECTOR
Which pilot is this again?
SCOTT
Gladys & Glynis.
HECTOR
I have no recollection of it.
ASHLEY
Me neither.
EVAN
Gladys & Glynis? That’s performed terrible on STREAM! I can’t believe it’s…wait, are you SURE it’s going viral? And are you also sure that’s actually Gladys & Glynis?
SCOTT
I’m very sure.
ASHLEY
I’m looking at our own stats now, it’s getting a nice boost in viewership.
HECTOR
Do we have another hit on our hands?!
SCOTT
I mean…possibly.
EVAN
Eh, let’s not get our hopes up too much. Remember what happened last time we did that.
SCOTT
True. We need realistic expectations here.
ASHLEY
Hold on a second.
EVAN
What?
ASHLEY
I’m looking at the live stats and viewership keeps going way up. Like, across the board.
SCOTT
Not just on Gladys & Glynis?
ASHLEY
Nope. Pretty much all our pilots, actually.
HECTOR
How does this compare to when Terror In America was being watched?
ASHLEY
This is on track to being our biggest day ever.
Nobody says a word.
ASHLEY
I said—
SCOTT
We heard you. I just can’t believe it.
EVAN looks at his phone in shock.
ASHLEY
You okay Evan?
EVAN
Scott, just how long has Gladys & Glynis been viral for?
SCOTT
I assumed today…let me check…oh. Weeks.
EVAN
I got an email from the company we all interviewed at.
ASHLEY
Still not ready to say their name?
EVAN
They don’t deserve that.
SCOTT
What’s it say?
EVAN
They want to discuss buying STREAM.
ASHLEY
Absolutely not. Not after what they did to us.
HECTOR
I don’t know Amanda, this might be the biggest STREAM gets. Best to sell it now while we can.
SCOTT
I don’t know if I can sell it after all we’ve done.
EVAN
They want to discuss next week.
ASHLEY
I guess it can’t hurt to take the meeting. Everyone sleep on it, we can meet here again tomorrow.
SCOTT
You’re inviting yourself over to my place?
ASHELY
Fine, we’ll meet at my place. Either way, we have a big decision to make.
