The Battle of the Bosses

A couple of business people walk into a room where there is a table and there is a person at the head of the table.

Boss: I think you all know why you are here.

Everyone looks at each-other confused.

Boss: No one - I- nevermind. Just, listen.

Everyone nods.

Boss: Popularity in our business has plummeted. We used to make $1,000,000 every week!

Boss: Janet...We've been over this.

Ms.Lady: No sir! We've found the problem.

Zooms in on the bosses face.

New scene where they are walking down the hall and going to Ms.Lady's office.
