Wag the Dog II

SMASH CUT TO:

INT. OUTSIDE DOUG ALLEN’S OFFICE - DAY

DOUG ALLEN is our hero. He’s the Chief Negotiator for the most powerful actor’s union, Screen Actors Guild. He’s a tough negotiator.

THE AMPTP, the villains, are afraid Doug will expose them. They will do anything to stop him.

JAMIE CROMWELL, RICHARD MASUR, NED VAUGHN, AMY BRENNEMAN, ADAM ARKIN, KEN HOWARD, AMY AQUINO, TOM HANKS, SALLY FIELD AND DANNY DEVITO, members of the “DIVIDE FOR AFTRA” coalition, huddle at the edge of Doug’s open door.

Jamie leans in to whisper in Richard’s ear.

JAMIE

Action.

RICHARD

This is it.

NED
Oakily doakily!

They enter abruptly.

INT. DOUG’S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Surprised, Doug stands to greet them, extending his hand.

DOUG
Welcome, brothers and sisters!

KEN
Hit the showers!

JAMIE
Cut!

AMY AQUINO
Checking the gate.

DANNY
That's a wrap, suckers!

THE MEMBERSHIP is stunned.

FADE OUT.
