One Moment is a funny and touching musical about six employees at a call center who take calls for a series of self-help DVD's entitled, One Moment. In the following scene, Danielle meets her new boss for the first time. |
|
| Gail: | What can I do for you? (Danny doesn't answer.).........Hey! Bambi! |
| Danny: | Oh! Are you talking to me? |
| Gail: | Of course I am. Who are you? What do you want? Why are you in my life at this moment? |
| Danny: | Oh, well, I'm the new person. I'm starting work here today. |
| Gail: | Oh, yes, right. We've been expecting you. |
| Danny: | I'm Danielle. |
| Gail: | Right. |
| Danny: | But everyone calls me Danny. |
| Gail: | Danny. That's adorable. |
| Danny: | Thank you. |
| Gail: | And another facetious comment is wasted. All right, what do you know about the place? Anything? |
| Danny: | Nothing. |
| Gail: | Wonderful. Spectacular. Well, I'm Gail. I'm the boss. |
| Danny: | Hi Gail. (She holds out her hand to shake Gail's hand.) |
| Gail: | (Looking at Danny's hand.) What is that? |
| Danny: | What's what? |
| Gail: | That. Your hand. What are you doing? |
| Danny: | Introducing myself by shaking your hand. |
| Gail: | No. We don't do that here. Put it away. This is a place of business. It's not pot luck night at the rec centre. Now, we are here to field orders for the One Moment Seminars. Do you know what they are? |
| Danny: | No, I don't. |
| Gail: | Nobody told you about this job? |
| Danny: | No, I got it through a placement service. |
| Gail: | And they told you nothing? |
| Danny: | Nothing. |
| Gail: | Well, that's excellent because I have been searching high and low for a good reason to pull my hair out in clumps, and now, here you are. |
