INT. THE OFFICE-JIM’S DESK

Jim leans back in his chair and stretches. His desk is
littered with paperwork. The office is deserted and we
see that it is dark outside.

          JIM
     I’ve gotta get away from this stuff… Why you
     guys filmed me doing this the entire time is
     beyond me.

Jim glances at reception and then picks up his phone
and dials. He smiles to the camera.

          JIM
     Hey. Yup, still here. But I can’t takes
     no more. (beat) Almost. Just gotta dot
     some T’s and cross some I’s. (Beat)
     Yeah, I know, I said it that way on
     purpose. (beat) Did too… did too!
     (beat) But you love this dork.(beat)
     THAT was not nice.
        (laughs, then listens intently)
      Oh, really?
      (smiles) Hmmmm… Really, now.
        (looks up at camera)
      Uh, yeah, that sounds, uh… cool.
       (beat, then lower)
      Yeah, they’re standing right here.
      (beat) Yeah… (laughs) ok. I’ll, uh…
       be by in a bit… Ok. Bye!

Jim hangs up and hurriedly gets his stuff together.

           JIM
         (happy)
     Outta here. C’mon, pack it up,
     times a wasting.

Just then Creed comes out of the bathroom. He is
wearing a wife-beater, boxer shorts and his dress
shoes. Jim stares.

          CREED
     Oh, hey, Jeff, since you’re leaving, can
     you shut the overheads? That humming will
     make you crazy, man.

          JIM
     Uh… ok. Can do.

Jim unveils a classic Jim-face for the camera.

          JIM
        (lower)
     Is Creed… living here now? And if he is, why
     doesn’t that surprise me?

CREED TALKING HEAD

          CREED
     No, I’m not living in the office. But I sleep
     over on occasion. Maybe about 3 or 4 times a
     month. The building I live in gets raided a
     lot… it can be a real drag getting in and out.

INT. THE OFFICE

We see Creed digging through Stanley’s desk and coming
out with a book of crossword puzzles. Then a shot of
Creed in the breakroom opening the vending machine
with his own key and taking out a soda and some chips.
Then Creed with his feet up on his desk watching a
portable DVD player. SpongeBob is on and Creed slaps
his thigh and laughs.

          CREED (Voice-over)
     So I crash here. Some nice perks. It’s clean…
     quiet. A lot less shootings, which is nice.

 CREED TALKING HEAD       
     And still… the finest ladies room in Scranton.
     And I’ve been to the one in the Hilton.
      (shakes head)
     Not even close.
