:FADE IN

INT. - GOVERNMENT HALL - LATE AFTERNOON

Somewhere in the middle of Texas, MILLY DIBILLY, Texas senator, calls a meeting to order. The men are restless because the coffee machine has been broken. Milly attempts to distract them from the ordeal and get to business, which he has no idea of.

MILLY: Alright, what is the topic today? Daryl, can you tell us?

Milly looks to Daryl expectantly, who was caught off guard by his question.

DARYL: M-Me, sir?

MILLY: I said Daryl, didn't I? (narrows his eyes)

Daryl shakingly takes his stack of blank papers and attempts to find something to say.

DARYL: I believe... We are here to discuss...

Daryl's eyes trail off toward his empty, stained coffee mug. He's suddenly reminded of how thirsty he is.

DARYL: We're here to discuss the state of the coffee machine! We work all day printing papers and lying to citizens at what cost? For no coffee!

The board of men suddenly roar in agreement and Milly feels himself shrinking in power...

DARYL(CONT.): We won't stand for it! Will we men?!

Everyone stands up and thrusts their fists in the air.

EVERYONE (except Milly): YEAH!

Men look around and sit down.

DARYL: COFFEE REVOLUTION! VIVA LA COFFEE MACHINE!

Everyone jumps out of their seats and runs into the break room where the sacred coffee machine has been broken for days.

Carl walks over to the machine and kneels before it.

CARL: Oh, lovely coffee machine. We all need a drink of your sweet brown liquid. Wouldn't you grant us a cup?

The men stare at the machine cluelessly.

DARYL: You idiot, that's not how you make coffee! You have to serenade the machine. You clearly have no manners or taste whatsoever.

Carl scoffs and watches Daryl walk up to the machine.

Milly suddenly rushes in, pushing past the crowd. He's dripping with sweat and his face is red and beaten up.

MILLY: Step away from the coffee machine and no one gets fired. Alright? Just take one step--

Carl suddenly jolts toward the machine, wraps the cord around his arm and rushes down the corridor hall.

CARL: THE COFFEE IS COMING WITH ME!

MILLY: Quick, someone go after him! That was an expensive gift from the governor!

DARYL: Pfft, does it look like I work for you?

MILLY: (glares his eyes) Guess no more free coffee breaks for you or anyone at this office building. (in slow motion) Ever again.

Daryl gasps and realizes what has taken place.

DARYL: COFFEEEE WAIT UP!
