Establishing Shot
sep7agon headquarters; a large glass modernist building in silicon valley
green hills roll in the background, a lighted sign bearing the sep7agon logo stands before the street in the bottom left corner of the screen

cut to a glass room enclosed by drapes with a long white conference table
two men sit at opposite ends staring venomously and intently at each other

Man 1 is wearing a black wool suit with a white silk shirt and New Balance tennis shoes.
His dark hair is buzzed close to his head, but not to where his scalp is showing.
He is not wearing a tie (important)

Man 2 is wearing a 3-piece khaki silk suit with single thread black pinstripes and a black shirt.
His hair is lighter, longer, and somewhat disheveled.
He wears a light blue tie, the same shade as the logo from the establishing shot.

MCU; Man 1; *scowls*
MCU; Man 2; *stares with contempt*

MCU; Man 1: I don't care about empirical evidence or what subjectivity is. I speak and that is the way things shall be!
MCU; Man 2: Your opinion is not the end-all-be-all. In fact, most of your opinions aren't even popular!
MCU; Man 1: My opinions are in concurrence with the source of all people's opinions, and therefore are universally held.
MCU; Man 2: (in disbelief) Do you even know what an opinion is?
ECU (eyes only; letterbox); Man 1: *stares just past the camera* (the focus and hatred in his eyes should be palpable)
MRP; Man 1: *slowly his face goes from anger to light amusement*
MCU; Man 2: *furrows his brow*
MCU; Man 1: *chuckles to himself* You see, that's a logical fallacy; whether or not I know what an opinion is does not impact the validity of my assertions as they are unrelated.
MS; Man 1: *stands, leans forward, and slams both hands on the table* Your logical fallacy is Ad Hominem!
MS; Man 2: *leaps from chair and takes a step back; he is taken aback with disbelief* You can't be serious!

WS; the drapes rise

a few dozen other people who also work at sep7agon headquarters stand outside the windows, laughing madly

MWS; (at the door): *people start entering the room, still laughing. Man 1 looks ahead at Man 2 smugly. The laughing grows more hysterical, people begin to point at Man 1. Others fall to the floor and clutch their gut. Man 1 realizes they are not laughing with him, they are in fact laughing at him*
MCU; Man1: *his smug grin is replaced by an embarrassed frown. he blushes visibly*
(same shot - begin slow zoom); disembodied voices: *the hysterical laughter continues* [ad lib: people make remarks in comic hysteria about how stupid Man 1 is]
(same shot - zoom continues); Man 1: *begins to cry*

screen cuts to black when zoom reaches CU
the laughter lingers for a moment
audio cuts to mute
Sep7agon logo fades in
