CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

INT. LIBRARY - AFTERNOON

DRAY WALKS ONTO AN ELEVATOR TAKING BOOKS DOWN ON A CART AND IS GREETED BY A HOMELESS WOMAN WHO INVADES HIS PERSONAL SPACE.

[Homeless Woman]

Hello.

[Dray]

Hello. Can I help you?

[Homeless Woman]

Do you have anything to eat?

[Dray]

The workroom downstairs has chips and stuff in it. I could get you some of those if you want.

[Homeless Woman]

Yes, that would be nice.

[Dray]

Okay.

DRAY SNIFFS THE AIR, LOOKS DOWN, AND SEES A PEE PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR. DRAY GROANS IN FRUSTRATION AND THE HOMELESS WOMAN SCRATCHES HER HEAD.

[Homeless Woman]

Yeh, I think someone spilled some detergent or something in here.

[Dray]

That's not detergent.

DRAY GETS OFF THE ELEVATOR, WALKS DOWN TO THE MAIN OFFICE, AND APPROACHES A COUPLE OF WORKERS.

[Dray]

Hey, someone peed in the elevator.

[Veronique]

You're kidding me.

[Dray]

Wish I was. I stepped in it actually. It smells like a bathroom at a football game.

[Sasha]

Okay, let me go get a soda or something. My blood pressure is too low for this crap.

[Dray]

Okay, do your thing.

CUT TO: A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER, DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

INT. LIBRARY - AFTERNOON

DRAY, SASHA, A JANITOR, AND A SECURITY GUARD ALL STAND BY THE ELEVATOR.

[Security Guard]

Did you happen to see who it was?

[Dray]

No, it wasn't that lady either. Or at least it didn't look like it.

[Sasha]

Great, that's just great. It's gonna storm later too. Today is just a fun day.

[Janitor]

I'll clean it up, would one of you hold the door open?

[Security Guard]

I'll do it. Sasha, I'll run the cameras back to see if I can't find out who it was.

[Sasha]

Okay. Sounds good.

[Dray]

We might need to lay out some mats or something.

[Sasha]

Yeah, no kidding. Thanks for letting us know.

[Dray]

No problem. I've gotta get back upstairs.

[Sasha]

Alright, see you later.
