INTERIOR, OFFICE: DAY: Sarah enters ABC Advertising wearing an oversized, short-sleeved white sweater, gathered at the waist; black, knee-length pants; and three-inch, red leather wedge shoes with an ankle strap. Under her arm is her portfolio case. She stops at the front desk.

SALLY: Nope. I’m the first stop of many to get a job here. So, let’s get started. Tell me a little about yourself.
SARAH: Uh, sure. Okay. Well, I’m from Missouri and went to the University of Kansas …
SALLY: Was that full-time or part-time?
SARAH: Um, full-time. After graduating, I took a job at a small advertising agency here in Denver …
SALLY: Was that full-time or part-time?
SARAH: (annoyed) Full-time.
CUT TO: DAY: Fifteen minutes later. Sarah is shifting in her chair.
SARAH: So after graduate school in San Francisco, I was recruited to work at a large agency in Seattle where—
SALLY: Full-time or part-time?
Sarah takes a deep breath and sits back in her chair.
SARAH: Full. Time.
