INT. BREAKROOM
Jim enters and heads towards the vending machine as Holly watches Kevin make a choice. After Kevin retrieves his purchase he looks at Jim.
KEVIN
So, Jim... WHEN is Pam coming back from New York?
JIM
Wow, that's like... the fifth time you've asked me that, Kev.
KEVIN
I can't remember what you told me.
HOLLY
Jim! It's not Kevin's fault that he can't remember what
you said. MAYBE you should speak a little slower.
(to Kevin)
Would that be better, Kevin?
KEVIN
(smiling slyly to camera)
Yeah, that might work.
Jim mouths "What?" to the camera as Holly pats Kevin on the arm. The pair turn back to Jim, expectantly.
JIM
Um... OK.
(very slowly)
Pam will be back the end of August,
beginning of September. (beat)
Alright?
KEVIN
(after a pause)
So... which is it, August or September?
Jim shakes his head and looks at the camera.
JIM TALKING HEAD
So... a week without Pam. And... these people
are making me insane already.
(chuckles)
Yeah, I miss her. But I'm ok. We definitely got
everything together before she left. Pam and I
are solid. I think I can go a little while without
getting in her hair.
INT. BREAKROOM
Jim, Kevin and Holly are still chatting.
HOLLY
Pam will have SO much fun in New York. I loved
living there.
JIM
Oh, yeah?
HOLLY
Yeah. And Pam's an artist, right?
I knew this one artist guy... French. He had
this loft in Soho. Absolutely stunning. He was
stinking rich so it was nothing to him. He...
(shakes head)
Wow. He was the most beautiful man I have
ever met. God.
Holly gets a faraway look as Jim and Kevin look at her. There is a pause.
KEVIN
Um... Holly?
HOLLY
(dreamy)
Absolutely beautiful.
JIM TALKING HEAD
Um... so... heading to New York this weekend.
I don't want Pam to get lonely or... anything.
(makes Jim Face)
