Craig:  (Annoyed he grabs them out of Sally's hand) Give me those! 

Sally:  (Chuckles) Si Senor. 

Nicole: Time out, you guys!  The PowerPoint screen's not here.  Who did you assign that to, Craig?

Craig:  Tom's supposed to have it here by 9:00.  (Looks at his watch) Oh man, it's 9:20!  Where is he anyway? 

Nicole:  (Frazzled) The screen's in his office.  I'll go get it. (Leaves the stage)

Craig:  Wren will be here in a few minutes and we're not even close to being ready! 

Sally:  I'll be right back.

Craig:
  Now where are you going? 

Sally:  I just remembered that I forgot the artwork for the new brochure.  Mr. Wren needs to approve it.

Craig:  You just went to your office.  Why didn't you get it then?

Sally:  I got sidetracked.  Tony called.  There's a major problem with the shipment to San Diego.  He claims there's no paperwork-- 

Craig:  (Incredulous) What?! You'd better take care of it, Sally!

Sally:  I will! After the meeting, but right now I'm going to get the artwork. (Hurries from the room)

Craig:  The wrong sales report, no projector, no screen….(Looks around the room) and no coffee! (Makes a phone call)  Where's the coffee, Diane? … You forgot?  I don't believe it!  Look, the meeting starts in five minutes!  Be here in four!

Nicole:  (Rushes in) Bad news.  Tom's at another meeting -- and he took the screen with him! 

Craig:  You're kidding!

Nicole:  I wish I were.  Apparently he forgot all about our meeting.

Craig:  How could he forget?  That idiot!  Now what are we going to do?

Sally:  (Rushes in) You guys won't believe this!  I just passed Dixie in the hallway.  She says Mr. Wren's down with the flu and won't be in the office today. 

Craig:  Wren's sick?  Why didn't she let me know?

Sally:  She forgot to look at his calendar to see what he had going today.  Her excuse was that she's been very busy. 

Craig:  Well I'm busy too! 

Nicole:
  Hey, look at the bright side.  We're off the hook! 

Craig:  Yeah, I know.  But how can Dixie just forget to tell us the meeting's been cancelled?  I mean, she's his personal assistant.  That's her job!
