CURTAIN UP:

INT. DETROIT FREE PRESS NEWSROOM.  SUMMER, 2007

THREE REPORTERS sit at desks in an otherwise empty newsroom.  They all intently stare at their 
computers.  A clock audibly ticks. 

REPORTER A sighs, stands up, and stretches to crack his back.

REPORTER A
Hey, what have you guys got for stories today?

REPORTER B
(barely looking up)
I got nothing.

REPORTER C
Me neither.

REPORTER A kicks the air.

REPORTER A
(sighing)
God damnit.  We need to put something in the paper today.  Can't have a paper without stories!

REPORTER B
Yeah, yeah, we know.

REPORTER C
(checking his watch)
Hey, it's almost lunch time.  Whatdya guys want?

REPORTER A
We did chinese yesterday - how about pizza.  Maybe some Dominos.

REPORTER B
Alright, let me order it online.

REPORTER C
(slightly astonished)
Wow, I didn't know you could order Dominos online.

There is a BEAT.

REPORTER A
(putting finger into the air and yelling triumphantly)
PRINT IT!

CURTAIN FALLS.

FIN.
