EXT. Office Building. Day.
Matt walks out of the main entrance. He's wearing his best
jacket, trousers and shoes. He looks nervous, keeps looking back up at building
windows. As he gets further away he starts to smile and look more confident.
RECEPTIONIST (O.S)
Mr Donahan?
MATT (O.S)
Yes, that's me.
RECEPTIONIST (O.S)
They're ready to see you now.
EXT. Street. Day.
Walking down street. Bumps into woman, who is carrying lots of
bags. Drops one.
MATT
Oh, I'm really sorry. Please let me get that. Do you need any
help?
Woman looks slightly shocked.
Woman
Um, thank you. No that's alright.
She walks away. Matt carries on walking looking pleased with
himself.
MAN (O.S)
So, Matt is it?
MATT (O.S)
Yes
MAN (O.S)
So Matt. Why do you think you'd be a good asset for our
company.
MATT (O.S)
Well, architecture is something I've always been passionate
about. It's been my dream for a long time now and it's something I can see
myself dedicated to doing for the rest of my life.
MAN (O.S)
Well that's good to hear. We always prefer employees who
actually enjoy their work here. (Laughs)
EXT. Bus Stop. Day.
Matt walks up to the bus stop and sits down. He looks around
and sees a tramp further down the street. He walks over and gives him the
change in his pocket. About £3.50. He then continues walking as that was his
bus money.
MAN (O.S)
Are those your sketches?
MATT (O.S)
Ah yes. These are ones I've been working on for the last 5
years.
MAN (O.S)
I see. These are very good.
Ext. Sandwich Shop. Afternoon.
Matt walks out with sandwich. Turns to look back inside.
MATT
Thanks!
He walks down the street. Eating his sandwich looking very
happy.
MAN (O.S)
Do you have any experience?
MATT (O.S)
No, I don't. But I've studied for this at college and since
then I've continued my studies independently, and I'm a quick learner. I'm
confident I'll be able to work effectively here.
MAN (O.S)
Excellent. Well I think that's all we need. We'll get back to
you shortly Matt. Thank you for coming.
MATT (O.S)
Thank you for seeing me. Goodbye.
INT. House. Afternoon.
Matt enters his house. He puts everything down and rushes to
his phone. There are two messages. He presses to hear them.
MATT’S BROTHER (O.S)
Hey little bro. Heard you got that interview finally. Hope it
all went well for ya.
Matt has a broad, confident smile.
MATT
Pretty sure it did.
MATT'S BROTHER (O.S)
Anyway give me a call when you found out and we'll grab a few
to celebrate, or to drown your sorrows, whichever way it works out. Later.
MATT
Yea thanks.
He waits for the next message. Nervousness coming back onto his
face.
MAN (O.S)
Mr. Donahan, this is (Company Name) calling in regards to your
interview with us this morning. We'd like to say that we were very impressed
with your interview and your work. Unfortunately, we're looking for someone
with more experience. We wish you well for the future. Goodbye.
Matt just stares at the phone. His shock apparent on his face.
He puts his hands on the table and leans on it. His head down. His fists
clench. Then he falls back onto the sofa, looking defeated.
