The Daily Green House.part six

(The CEO turns around slowly. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses indoors. His teeth are blindingly white. He looks completely detached from reality.)

CEO(Sighing)Greg. 

Chloe. You’re disrupting the flow of capital. Look at the stock chart. It looks like a cardiac arrest because of your little... stunt upstairs.

CHLOE(Stepping forward, jaw set)Step aside, sir. We’re quitting. Effective immediately. No two-week notice.

CEO(Laughs, a hollow, rehearsed sound)Quit? You can't quit life, Chloe. This building is the economy. The economy is society. Outside these doors is just... unmonitored nature and people talking to each other without an agenda. It’s chaotic. It’s unprofitable.

GREG

We’ll take our chances.

CEO

I can't let you do that. It sets a terrible precedent for the summer interns.(The CEO raises his golden golf club and presses a hidden diamond button on the grip. A high-frequency hum fills the lobby. The main glass exit doors lock with three massive titanium deadbolts.)

CEO

I’m offering you a choice. Go back to your cubicles right now, and I will personally authorize a 0.5% increase in your digital token acquisition rate. Plus... Friday is now Casual Shoe Friday. You can wear loafers.

CEO(Squinting at Greg's wrist)Is your watch talking to you, Greg? That violates our wearable tech policy.

GREG(Whispering back)Toby, can you hack a golf club?TOBY(From the watch)I am an art history major integrated into a four-gigabyte fitness tracker, Greg. But... if you can get me close enough to the club's Bluetooth receiver, I can flood his system with five terabytes of uncompressed corporate compliance training videos. It will fry his master remote!

GREG(Looking at Chloe, nodding)Let's do some corporate restructuring.This is the climax of their escape. Tell me:How do Greg and Chloe execute the distraction to get the watch close to the golf club?Do you want the CEO to have a dramatic meltdown when the compliance videos hit his system?Should this lead directly into the final lines of the play as they step outside?

TOBY(From Greg’s smartwatch, tiny voice buzzing)Don't do it, Greg! It's a trap! Casual Shoe Friday always leads to mandatory weekend team-building!

CHLOE(Whispering to Greg)Greg, the CEO's golf club is controlling the door locks. It’s connected to the building's local area network
