INT - OMV Office - afternoon.

Donnie is casually strolling back to work after his lunch with Kate. When he gets to his cubicle, Jake pops up.

JAKE (fake)
So, how did your lunch with Kate go???

DONNIE
It went fine thank you. Are we talking again?

JAKE (confused)
Fine? She took you back???

DONNIE
As a matter of fact she did. Don't look so surprised.

OLD MAN VICKERS (interrupting)
Good afternoon Donald!

DONNIE (startled)
Bah! ....Hello sir - snuck up on me there.

OLD MAN VICKERS
My apologies. Donald, I was just wondering if you were planning on working today.

DONNIE
Yes?

OLD MAN VICKERS
Oh that's excellent.

DONNIE
It is?

OLD MAN VICKERS
Indeed. I just spoke with Mr. Larabee.

DONNIE
You did huh?...About that, uh, I can explain.

OLD MAN VICKERS
What's to explain? They have advised me to go ahead and proceed with the design.

DONNIE (surprised)
You're kidding?

OLD MAN VICKERS
Of course I am. Thanks to you we almost lost a national contract with the Larabee Corporation.

DONNIE
Almost?

OLD MAN VICKERS
I spent the last 48 hours trying to convince Mr. Larabee to reconsider.

DONNIE
And he agreed?

OLD MAN VICKERS
Only after I agreed to waive our fee.

DONNIE
Makes sense.

OLD MAN VICKERS
The fee, however, will be coming from your salary.

DONNIE
What???

OLD MAN VICKERS
You don't expect the firm to take a loss over your foolishness do you? ...Jake, I'm putting you in charge of the Larabee project. ...Donnie, you will report to Jake.

JAKE
Yes sir, Mr. Vickers sir!

DONNIE (dumbfounded)
I got nuthin'.

OLD MAN VICKERS
Surprised? I'm a firm believer in second chances Donald. I suspect you wont let me down again.

Old Man Vickers walks away. Jake looks over to Donnie.

DONNIE
Was that a threat?

JAKE
Who's your daddy now, bitch???
