CAST bookguy and troy
SETTING bookguy's office
SCENE back when i worked with bookguy, i walked into his office after he recieved the results to a 360 degree review the company did on its managers.
TROY
hey, whatcha doing?

BOOKGUY
going through my 360 review.

TROY
any good humor?

BOOKGUY
yeah mostly good. several people said some really kind and thoughtful stuff.

TROY
i reckon you were expecting that.

BOOKGUY
a little but not as much as i got.

TROY
any evils.

BOOKGUY
yeah a few. oh let me find this one.

(leafs through pages)

listen to this ...

(more leafing)

here it is ...

(settling on a page)

here, get this: "it would be easier to list what (bookguy) doesn't know, than it would to list what he does."

TROY
wow.

BOOKGUY
yeah wow. who the hell does this moron think he is? what a ridiculous thing to say.

TROY
what do you mean ridiculous? why are you pissed?

BOOKGUY
why am i pissed? i'm pissed cause this stooge totally slayed me on something that is total bullshit.

TROY
what do you mean stooge? i wrote that.

BOOKGUY
you WROTE this! what the hell is wrong with you?

TROY
what's wrong with me. it's a total compliment dude.

BOOKGUY
COMPLIMENT? plays well with others is a compliment. works hard is a compliment. claiming that it would be easier to sit around all day and rattle off shit bookguy doesn't know because there is SO much he doesn't know doesn't strike me as an overly positive sentiment.

TROY
no. as in it would be easier to list what bookguy doesn't know because there are so FEW things he doesn't know. otherwise i would have to sit here all day listing the stuff he is good at and who has time to do that?

BOOKGUY
(looking perturbed)
you need to learn how to express yourself better. no one reading this would get what you just said.

TROY
or perhaps you need to learn how to better process the english language. but look at the bright side, now i have another thing you kinda suck at so you're one step closer to me answering that question differently.
NOTE looking back on how i opted to express that thought, it might have been a touch indirect, although i'm sure we can all agree there's no real advantage to sharing this revelation with bookguy now that it's water under the bridge and all.
