DEAD ENDS – Episode 1
Martin is walking from his front door to the taxi which is to drive him to an
interview
MARTIN
(TO CAMERA)
This is the first interview since I graduated, which was (brief pause as if counting in head) last month in fact. So not that long ago. In that time I’ve been applying for work, haven’t had great success. Receiving rejections can be quite a soul crushing experience. Today is the first interview I've been invited to.
INTERVIEWER
Nervous?
MARTIN
(RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER)
Nah
.
Gets in the car – about 10 seconds later gets out of the car arguing with the driver
MARTIN
(TO DRIVER) No need to use that sort of language!
MARTIN
(TO CAMERA) That wasn’t my car.
Another car pulls up.
MARTIN
This is my car.
Martin gets in the car.
Car drives off;
Martin
is in the front seat, silence in the car.
The car in front has a sign in the rear window of the car saying ‘baby on board’, and another saying ‘honk if you’re
horny’
.
Martin sees the signs and points at them.
MARTIN
She’s had a baby, but is still up for it. Now I respect that.
Silence from the taxi driver.
Cut to Martin walking into a corporate building and initiating a conversation with the receptionist.
MARTIN
Hi (LOOKS AT HER NAME BADGE) Jessica. I'm here for an interview.
