JUSTIN:

She meant "radar".

KATE:

I hope so. Otherwise I really don't

know myself.

JUSTIN:

(Impressed)

Like I said, you got a set ofballs.

KATE:

Thanks. I guess.

JUSTIN:

So you're sticking around.

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

KATE:

At least ‘til Friday.

JUSTIN:

Good.

KATE:

Yeah.

THEY EXCHANGE A GLANCE. IT'S CLEARLY A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT.

INT. - BULLPEN - CONTINUOUS

JULIANNA IS COVERTLY WATCHING JUSTIN AND KATE THROUGH HER

SHADES. SHE SMILES TO HERSELF AND WALKS OVER TO A PICTURE OF

HERSELF A BEGINS TO WRITE SOMETHING, THEN STOPS, THOUGHTFUL.

SHE BEGINS TO SING.

JULIANNA:

When I'm asked how I got sosuccessful,

I just smile and say "Hard work andluck".

But that's not what it was; it was

really becauseI am someone with whom not to f***.

THE CAMERA SLOWLY PANS FROM HER TO HER WALL, WHICH IS LINED

WITH PHOTOGRAPHS OF HER WITH CELEBRITIES.

JULIANNA (V.O.)

I am smart, but I'm hardly agenius.

And I can't say I'm good with abuck.

But throughout my career it's beenpainfully clearThat I'm someone with whom not to

f***.

WE DISSOLVE INTO VARIOUS SHOTS OF JULIANNA DEBATING PUNDITS

ON TV. WE DON’T HEAR WHAT SHE’S SAYING, BUT HER ADVERSARIES

APPEAR HUMILIATED.

JULIANNA (V.O.)

I'm someone who makes up new rulesevery day,

Rules everyone else is then stuckwith.

For instance, the rule that it

sounds déclassé

To say "I'm someone not to fuckwith."

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

SHOTS OF JULIANNA AROUND THE OFFICE. SHE IS CHARMING AND

SMILING IN ONE SCENE, SCREAMING AND YELLING THE NEXT. SHE

APPEARS TO HAVE THE ENTIRE GAMUT OF HUMAN EMOTIONS ARE HER

DISPOSAL.

JULIANNA (V.O.)

It's a huge operation I'm running,

And I keep it from running amokBy making it known to both bigwigand drone

That I'm someone with whom not to

f***.

AN INSTRUMENTAL BREAK IN WHICH WE SEE GABE RETURNING TO THE

BULLPEN AREA WITH JUSTIN. HE IS GREETED BY PRUDENCE AND JOSH

AND GIVES KATE A BIG HUG. WE CUT AWAY TO A SHOT OF CASSIE REWATCHING

THE CLIP THAT JOSH SUBMITTED. SHE SIGHS AND GIVES A

“MAYBE IT’S NOT SO BAD” GESTURE.

VICKY:

(Loudly)

Hey, um... Josh?

CUT TO A VERY, VERY SLOW CLOSE-UP OF AN UNHAPPY 23-YEAR-OLD

WORKING BEHIND THE COUNTER AT QUIZNO’S. HE HAS A NAMETAG THAT

SAYS ‘EVAN’. HE STARES FORLORNLY AT THE CAMERA.

JULIANNA (V.O.)

It's nothing I want peoplestressing about.

In fact, people's stress levelfalls off

As soon as they're free of theburden of doubt

As to whether I might cut theirballs off.

WE FINALLY COME BACK ‘LIVE’ TO JULIANNA, WHO IS DOING YOGA ON

A MAT IN HER OFFICE. HER EYES ARE CLOSED. SHE IS IN AN

IMPRESSIVE STRETCH POSITION. SHE SINGS.

But for now, I'm content to do yogaAnd serenely await the next schmuckWho walks in my roomAnd brings on his doomBy being naive enough not to assumeI'm someone with whom...

(Opens her eyes, looks atcamera)

Not to f***.

SHE SMILES. THE SONG ENDS.

BROWSERS - 10/25/12

AS THE MUSIC OF THE OPENING SONG BEGINS WE DISSOLVE TO THE

FOUR NEW INTERNS TALKING TO EACH OTHER ON THE ELEVATOR AT THE

END OF THE DAY. THEY HAVE CLEARLY BONDED. THEY WALK OUT THE

DOOR; EVERYONE BUT GABE GOES ONE WAY; GABE WAVES GOODBYE AND

BEGINS WALKING DOWN THE STREET; HE SINGS.

GABE:

This is my life

And I very nearly blew it.

PRUDENCE SITS AT A TABLE AT QUIZNO’S EATING A SANDWICH.

PRUDENCE:

This is my life,

And I'm glad I'm passing through it.

JOSH IS IN BACK IN HIS BEDROOM ON HIS COMPUTER, WATCHING THE

BARE MINIMUM VIDEO ON GUSH, SMILING. HE “THINK-SINGS”.

JOSH:

That is my life!

That’s it right there

On the site - there,

That’s my link!

FINALLY, KATE RETURNS TO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE APARTMENT

BUILDING WE SAW HER LEAVE AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW.

KATE:

For a first day...

SHE THINKS FOR A MOMENT. WE SEE A VERY BRIEF MEMORY SHOT OF

JUSTIN FROM HIS LAST CONVERSATION WITH HER. SHE SMILES.

KATE:

There’s potential, I think.

SHE TURNS THE KEY AND WALKS IN. HER IMAGE STOPS, AS AT THE

END OF A MOVIE PLAYED BACK ON YOUTUBE. THE CURSOR OF GOD

REAPPEARS AND CLICKS THE ‘X’ BUTTON IN THE TOP RIGHT. THE

IMAGE DISAPPEARS.
