Horrible Bosses Page #9

Everyone, can I have your

attention please? I've just

learned that Kurt has fired our

dear friend Hank here. I want you

to know that I am as surprised and

angry about this as you are.

KURT:

What are you -- ?!

PELLIT:

This is entirely an accounting

department decision. My hands are

tied.

(then, to Kurt)

You are one heartless bastard,

Gamble.

Pellit heads off. Hank glares at Kurt.

KURT:

Look, Hank, this was not my --

HANK:

F*** you, Kurt.

Hank wheels away, leaving Kurt to face the angry looks of

his CO-WORKERS.

CUT TO:

34 INT. DENTAL OFFICE - DAY 34

Dale, dressed for work, knocks on Julia's office door.

JULIA (O.S.)

Come in.

35 INT. JULIA'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS ACTION 35

Dale enters.

DALE:

You wanted to see --

He looks up to find Julia sitting at her desk in nothing

but an unbuttoned white lab coat.

DALE:

(AVERTING EYES)

Oh, God.

JULIA:

Have a seat, Dale.

DALE:

Do I have to?

JULIA:

Please.

He sits, then immediately stands again.

DALE:

Look, Julia, this is ridiculous --

JULIA:

(holding up hand)

I know what you're going to say

and that's exactly what I want to

talk to you about.

JULIA (CONT'D)

Yes, I like to joke around at

work. And sometimes I might cross

the line a bit. But the last

thing I want to do is make you

uncomfortable. That's

unprofessional and I pride myself

on being a professional.

She leans back in her chair and puts her hands behind her

head revealing even more of her body.

JULIA:

So from now on, I want you to tell

me when and if I cross the line.

DALE:

Now. Right now.

JULIA:

What?

DALE:

You're naked, Julia!

JULIA:

I'm not naked. You can't even see

my p*ssy.

DALE:

Okay, right there! Just saying

`p*ssy' to me. That's over the

line.

JULIA:

That's over the line? You're

starting to sound like a little

f*ggot, Dale.

DALE:

Again! Naked, `p*ssy,' `f*ggot.'

All over the line. And probably

ILLEGAL --

JULIA:

Okay, let's not start talking

about illegal, Mr. Pees-on-Young-

Boys.

DALE:

It was an empty playground! In

the middle of the night!

JULIA:

Even worse. That little boy must

have been terrified.

35 CONTINUED:
(2) 35

Julia stands and moves uncomfortably close to Dale. He

tries not to stare at her breasts.

JULIA:

Let's cut to the chase. You're

engaged now. And I respect the

institution of marriage too much

to violate it. That's why you

need to f*** me well before the

wedding. Because the closer it

gets, the less ladylike I'm going

to feel about this whole thing.

DALE:

I'm not going to sleep with you,

Julia.

JULIA:

We'll see about that.

(then, suddenly

ENRAGED)

OUT! GET OUT!

Startled, Dale hurries out of the office.

36 INT. BRADFORD'S BAR - THAT NIGHT 36

Nick, Dale and Kurt sit miserably over their drinks.

They've all had a few.

NICK:

I feel like a total sucker.

Harken was never planning on

promoting me.

KURT:

That coked-out douchebag is gonna

destroy Pellit Chemicals.

DALE:

She stood there with her breasts

right in my face.

Nick and Kurt turn to Dale.

KURT:

You know, yours just doesn't sound

that bad.

DALE:

Why don't you guys quit? It's not

like you're sex offenders.

NICK:

It's true. I mean, I'm young. I
