The setting is Sarah's dark IT office with boxes and metal cabinets in the background. Sarah is sitting in her chair facing her off-panel screens and Max leans in from behind, saying, "Hey Sarah, got a minute?" Sarah responds, "Grab me a soda and I'll give you two."

Max squats down at the mini fridge and grabs a can, saying, "Deal. So I was kicked out of my cubicle."

Max hands the can to Sarah, who says, "Yeah, Amanda's back." Max replies, "Right."

A silhouette of both characters, Max on the left and Sarah on the right. Max says, "Harold's distracted, Tyler's... Tyler. Can you help?" Sarah responds, "Just grab a laptop from back there. That way when you have to move again, you can just take it with you."

Max turns to face the laptops and says, "Right, when." He mutters, "Maybe I'll grab two." Sarah responds, "NOW you're gettin' it."
