FR4NK is sitting behind his desk at the Water-Power Plant, arms folded. FISH3R is behind him, standing, matching the aggressive pose. A scrawny robot is sitting on the other side of the desk, pensive. Clearly an outdated model. Rusted, chipped, in terrible condition. He doesn't have fingers; he has vacuums for hands.

P4T
Well, I - -

FR4NK has his hand raised, silencing P4T, going for earnest, not quite able to pull it off
FR4NK

Not your fault that's what you were programmed for.

Tighter on FR4NK.
FR4NK
But my secretary - -
FISH3R
Executive secretary.
FR4NK
- - my executive secretary - -

FISH3R
At least.

P4T is despondent. FR4NK seems to take pity on him.
FR4NK
Now, I may be heartless, but that doesn't mean I don't admire
sturdy programming and durability.
I think your specs are perfect for another role.

Cut to D4V3's office. He's on a call. His thumb and pinkie are extended - mimicking a phone. P4T is behind him. Vacuuming, because that's all he can do, which is no help to anyone.

Vmmmmmmmmm
D4V3
- - no, that's not static, it's - -
- - my secretary, yes, he's a - -
- - no, he, uh - -

Cool script Simon. Was this inspired by Office Space? I definitely got a Milton vibe from P4T :)
