ScriptInEnglish

INT. OFFICE

Dr. St. Jermaine is in her office.

DR. ST. JERMAINE :

?Do you like my office? It’s also my apartment. I live in this tiny room. Hi, I’m Dr. Genevieve St. Jermaine, PhD. They say the new 2015 Ford Focus believes in more. More to see. More to feel. But more for whom? For...hedge fund managers?

INT. FORD DEALERSHIP

Open on a hero shot of the Focus Titanium

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Buy. Sell it. Buy it. Sell it, for more than you bought it.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Get me my cufflinks please.

DR. ST. JERMAINE (holding two phones together):

Shelia, you’re on with Andrew.

DR. ST. JERMAINE (noticing the car):

Whoa, what is this machine of dreams?

DAN:

This is the Focus Titanium. Rear view camera and LED signature lights come standard.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

I want it.

CUT TO: DR. St. Germaine and Dan inside the car

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

If I don’t continue making business phone calls during this car ride, we’re sunk.

DAN:

All we have to do is use SYNC’s hands-free voice commands Do you want to try it?

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Sure.

DAN presses the SYNC key on the steering wheel (Continued)

SYNC:

Please say a command.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Call Mom

Cut to the SYNC screen with the name “Mom” on it. We hear a phone ringing. A woman picks up.

WOMAN’S VOICE (LONG ISLAND ACCENT)(on the phone):

Hello, Genevieve.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Oh, it called my actual mother.

MOM:

How’s your costume party going?

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

It’s a social experiment, mother.

CUT TO: Dr. St. Jermaine walking around in the showroom.

DR. ST. JERMAINE (con’t):

Well, Patrick, you know what they say. You’re fired.

CUT TO: Dan and Dr. St. Jermaine in the car, listening to Mom talk.

MOM:

Genieve, I’m dating again. His name is skunk.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

Mother, you’re embarrassing me, I have to go, talk to you later, bye.

CUT TO: DR. ST. JERMAINE IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE VEHICLE.

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

How about some tunes, Dan?

(DAN hits the SYNC button on the steering wheel)

DAN (HOLDS UP PHONE):

No problem. Your phone’s playlist is connected.

DR. ST. JERMAINE (CONT’D):

Play track eight.

SYNC plays easy listening jazz. Dr. Jermaine bands her head inappropriately.

CUT TO:

Dan and Dr. St. Jermaine on the couch. The doctor starts to undo her belt.

DAN:

Oh…

DR. ST. JERMAINE:

There we go.

CUT TO:

Dr. St. Jermaine is back in her street clothes.

DR. ST. JERMAINE (CONT’D):

The stats are in. The Ford Focus does offer more for hedge fund managers. (to Dan) What is a hedge fund?

DAN:

Oh, it’s an alternative investment strategy reserved for the most so……
