“Undone”
CADE
OK. We like you. Do you want to work here…freelance to start?
GARY
You’re talented, versatile and yes…seasoned. We don’t do kids around here, with the exception of Wallace. He’s in a demographic all his own.
ELLIE
Yes!
(lets it rip)
Hell yes! Thanks so much!
CADE
We can pay you $450 a day. Ok with that?
ELLIE
Perfect.
CADE
Monday too soon?
ELLIE
I’ll be here.
CADE
Excellent. You’ll meet Manny.
ELLIE
I’ve heard a lot about Manford Grey.
GARY
Glutz. It’s Manford Glutz.
ELLIE
You lost me.
CADE
Leo Burnett. Chiat Day. Saatchi & Saatchi…Bellson-Glutz??
(beat)
Let’s just say we made an adjustment.
GARY
We have some name issues around here. Look at it this way. Would you rather wear a Lauren…or a Lipschitz?
ELLIE
Fuckin’ A!
CADE
(extending her hand)
So we’ll see you next week then?

Ellie hits the elevator button just as Wallace pops the top off another can of Mountain Dew.
The doors open and she steps in. She holds them open.
ELLIE
You know, Wally, Cade’s right. That crap’ll kill ya. See you next week.

Here you go. Enjoy your “regular boy’s haircut.”
