Jen} What the hell was that , with all the shouting ?, .
Roy} Oh I am sorry Jen, maybe if you worked in this part of the department you’d understand .
Moss} Hey Roy, have you seen this video with this cat on a escalator ?, it’s gone viral .
Jen} Hey, do you guys actually do any work here or do you just slack off , like this ?.
Roy} Jen, you are not the head of this department, you can’t tell us what to do .
Jen} And you aren’t either , so don’t try and undermine me .
]Phone rings }
Roy} Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again ?, is it plugged in ?, well maybe if you look down , you can see, it is very simple .
Roy} Jesus Christ, this thing is giving me a headache , I have to do this like 10 times a day, it’s like offering your grand parents advice on how to open up a computer software .
Jen} Hey Moss, there’s a spider in my office , can you do me a favor please ?.
Moss} Ok, I really, really, really really really don’t like spiders, can’t anybody else do it ?.
Roy} I am not doing it .
Jen} Oh come on Moss, I can’t have thing lingering around in my office , what if I fall asleep and it crawls in my mouth ?.
Moss} Oh that would be hilarious .
Jen} Come on Moss, you promised me that you’d never let me down , you still have time make that happen .
Moss} When did I say that ?.
Jen} Come on .
Moss} Ahh, don’t do this to me Jen .
Moss} Oh look, it’s gone now , can I go now ?.
Jen} Come on Moss, man up , for god sake .
Moss} Ok I’ll man up, I am a man , Just don’t leave me in here , goodbye Jen .
Jen} Moss, did you catch the spider yet ?.
Moss} No, the spider has made it’s way up the window and it is now staring at me .
Jen} Do you actually always take this long to get rid of a spider ?.
Moss} It’s not like I actually remember the last time I got rid of one .
Jen} Great. [ says it in a sarcastic way }
Roy} Hey guys, I just need to deal with somebody on the 7 floor , be right back .
Meanwhile , Roy is on the 7th floor, helping somebody with their computer .
Roy} Hi, I am Roy, I just work downstairs, what seems to be wrong with your computer ?.
Woman} Well I think it keeps flashing and turning off .
Roy} Right, I have had this many times too, it is a common problem , I’ll see what I can do .
Woman} Ok, thank you .
Roy} I see what the problem is , you haven’t got a hard drive .
Woman} Right , so you need a hard drive ?.
Roy} Yes, you need a hard drive , otherwise it won’t work .
Woman} Right ok .
Roy} Bloody hell, I hate this job .
Meanwhile in the basement with Moss and Jen .
Jen} It has been 5 hours now, have you caught it yet ?.
Moss} Yeah almost, it is now on me , it’s giving me the death stare , I think I just shit myself .
Jen} Where the hell is Roy ?, he’s been out for ages .
Moss} Well, he said he was helping somebody on the 7th floor .
Jen} I mean, who takes that long helping somebody with their computer ?.
Moss} Probably him .
Jen} What exactly is he doing , having a party or something ?.
Moss} I think he might be having a love affair .
Jen} What ?, with a woman ?.
Moss} No, I think that it’s with a hard drive .
Jen} And, you think that’s normal .
Moss} Yeah, he’s done it a couple times, I’m pretty much used to it .
Roy} Hey, I’m back .
Jen} Where were you ?.
Roy} I was helping a lady with her computer, the person didn’t put a hard drive in , how do these people even get jobs if they don’t even know what a hard drive is, how can she not know what a hard drive is, everybody knows what a hard drive is, it’s unbelievable , honestly .
Jen} Guys can I just tell you something ?.
Moss} Yes .
Roy} Yeah, what is it ?.
Jen} I just got awarded ” employee of the month ” .
Moss} Wow, now that is brilliant .
Roy} Yeah, I guess that’s good .
Jen} Do you guys actually care ?, you don’t seem to be bothered .
Moss} What ?, do you want us to do cartwheels or something ?.
Roy} Yeah, that’s a good idea actually, I’m gonna do it .
Moss} No, don’t do it , you’ll get a bad back again .
Jen} Moss, do you even know what ” The Employee Of The Month is ?.
Moss} Oh let me see, hmm, no .
Jen} It means that I have been working my hardest .
Moss} Does it mean that you have been making us good coffee ?.
Jen} No , you have no idea do you ?.
Moss} Oh, it was that time when I said that you were dead so I lied to you and said that you were made ” The Employee Of The Month ”, and now you are , it’s funny where life can take you .
Jen} What do you do if you are the Employee Of the Month anyway ?.
Roy} I don’t know, but you don’t exactly sit on your ass all day reading a newspaper , I think you already know that .
Jen} Ha, enough of this BS , I’m going to get some coffee .
Moss} Wait, but I thought .
Roy} Don’t you make the coffee ?.
Jen} Well no not really , I like being in public places more , I get to stick out in the crowd , get my name out there .
Roy} Yeah but you work in an IT department , you are not an actress .
Moss} That’s what she said .
A few minutes later .
Roy} Hey Moss, I think that there’s a problem with my computer .
Moss} Have you tried turning it off and on again ?,.
Roy} Please Moss, not now .
Moss} Do you have a hard drive ?.

Jen} Hey guys .
Roy} Did you get your coffee then ?.
Jen} No, did you really think that I was gonna get some coffee ?, I literally have a nespresso machine right in that corner .
Moss} You never told us that you had one .
Jen} Well, it is nothing to really be proud of , Moss , I mean, I have had it for years , it’s all rusty .
Roy} So why didn’t you chuck it away and buy a new one ?.
Jen} What , do you think I’m a free loader or something ?, I can’t, I am Skint .
Moss} Roy, have you heard of this new game ?.
Roy} What game is it ?.
Moss} It’s this game where you put in all of your email addresses and it’ll announce you on the date of your death .
Roy} Really ?.
{ Moss clicks on the buttons and tabs on the website }
Moss} Here look, so you see this , I put in my name and birth details and in about 5 minutes it’ll announce the date on what your death falls on , isn’t it great ?.
Roy} Yes and no , I am very scared of death and I do not wanna know when I’ll die .
Moss } Oh come on Roy, it’ll be cool , it’s always good to know .
{ Moss reading the information on the website }
Moss} It says, the 13th , Oh that’s tomorrow innit ?, Oh no .
Roy} I hate this bloody website .
Moss} Oh come on Roy, it’s just a made up website, someone probably just made it for a laugh , they don’t know themselves .
Roy} Yeah you are right, it’s just a stupid website , a silly website .
Moss} Hey Roy, look at this cat , isn’t it cute ?.
Roy still in disbelief } Hah, a cat , a cat, a cat , wow, what’s that ?.
Moss} Roy, are you ok ?., you look like you are having a delusion .
Roy} Yeah no, I am ok , you don’t believe in this death stuff don’t you ?.
Moss} No, of course not , do you ?.
Roy} Well, I don’t know what to believe , Oh, how worse can this day get ?.
Jen} Denholm is dead .
{ Roy and Moss drop their things and turn around in shock }

Jen} No, I think that you are getting mixed up, you are talking about weddings .
Moss} Oh yeah, I know what you mean , then I’ll come .
Meanwhile , at the church .
{ Moss looking at the wood on the tables and knocking on it }
Moss} Oh , I have always wandered if this is real wood , only one way to find out .
Jen} Moss, don’t touch that .
Roy} Jen can I tell you something ?.
Jen} Yeah sure .
Roy} By the time the clock strikes 5, I am gonna die .
Jen looking confused } What are you talking about ?, Moss, do you know what he’s talking about ?.
Moss} No .
Roy} Oh wow, a clock , hello clock .
Jen} Roy , are you ok ?.
Roy} No , I am not ok, I’m just taking a moment , gosh, I hate life so much .
Jen} Shhh, be quiet, we are at a church, there’s no time for this now .
Meanwhile, Roy, Moss and Jen are dealing with the mourning of Denholm’s death .
Moss} I’m very sorry for your loss .
Roy} What the hell am I supposed to do ?.
Jen} Just, say ” sorry for your loss and move on .
Roy} Hi, If it weren’t for Moss showing me that bloody website, we wouldn’t of got in this mess .

Jen} It is a cigerette , I found it down the thing over that .
Moss} Yeah but that is stealing , It’s probably dirty too .
Jen} Well I had to , I mean, I couldn’t just leave it there and completely ignore it , anyway, where’s Roy ?.
Moss} Oh yeah, he is completely lost his mind , he keeps running around , talking to all of the portraits on the walls .
Jen} Really, why is he doing that ?.
Moss} I have no idea, it is very worrying , not like his cheery self at all, I should probably go and check on him .
Moss} Are you ok Roy ?.
Roy} Moss, why did you show me that website ?.
Moss} Roy, it was only a joke , you are not gonna die .
Roy} Are you sure ?, because the last few minutes , I just had the clock staring at me .
