RV Week 4: Chronicle 2

Scene 1: Copier Room

Ana, back from lunch, was still floating and decided to print four more copies of the receipt she's holding and get something from Bloomberg at the same time. She didn't notice that Hariette and Kristian were there, contemplating on the copier that broke down. Absent-minded as she was, Ana proceeded to the copier oblivious to the people who were actually there. She didn't even notice the weird looks she got because apparently the printer cover was up! Hah! Instead of reproducing the receipts, all she managed to do was soil her hands with the toner. Then Kristian makes conversation...

Kristian: Were you at the meeting this morning?
Ana: Of course we were.
Kristian: But I didn't see you.
Ana: Well, we were on the other side. (You idiot, we were right beside you when you went into the room. But then you decided to go to the other side...)
Kristian: So you liked what you heard from Tatiana, about the Manila people being intelligent and fun people? (smiling sardonically)
Ana: Of course! Loved every minute of it.
Kristian: Am sure you did...
Ana: Well, isn't it obvious? (trying to be sarcastic and smug)
Kristian: I know...I know...(Smiles)
Ana: (Breaks into a smile as she is now in front of the Bloomberg Terminal trying to sort what she wanted to do) I was just kidding...

Ana was now lost more than ever...
Ana: (Talking to herself) Now where was I?...
Kristian: You're in Rockville... (and he fades away)
