Rina

Can we stay on track? Who’s available tonight? I need to tell the client a yes or no, NOW.

Theo

How much?

Rina

2K, Theo. Read up for God’s sake.

Theo

No, I meant for The Detonator.

Forrest

SERIOUSLY. How do I leave the group chat? I exited but the messages keep coming through.

I let out a laugh, imagining Forrest’s wide-eyed panic as these messages pop up on his phone while Sora, his girlfriend, peers over his shoulder. She’s a good sport. She’s probably giggling along at his embarrassment.

Saylor

Sorry, Rina. I’m out. Promised Mum some quality time.

Cam

I’m out. Literally on my way to a job.

Forrest

Since the messages won’t stop… I’m out. BECAUSE I’M IN A RELATIONSHIP AND NO LONGER DOING THIS SHIT.

Saylor

Forrest, can you ask Sora which one is the good Korean BBQ place? I have a hankering.

Rina

Theo? Taio?

Theo

I’m catching up on Game of Thrones and I have warm soup belly. I’m out.

Rina

I am thoroughly regretting all of your Christmas bonuses. Saylor, please?

Saylor

Sorry, boss. Priorities.

Cam

Mama’s boy.
