CHAPTER SEVEN
INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE – LATER
Craig, Derek, and Luke sit and wait for Trevor's decision. Craig's knee is bouncing as he chews his thumbnail. Luke is practically doing leg raises sitting on the edge of his seat. Derek wears a menacing scowl.
Trevor sits up straight at his desk.
TREVOR
This was a very difficult decision, but I have narrowed it down. To three.
CRAIG
That's not a decision. We're right back where we started.
LUKE
I thought we had a moment.
Luke points to his winking eye.
DEREK
And I thought we had a deal.
Derek gives Trevor a threatening eye.
TREVOR
I'm sorry! I've never done this before. Wait. I know. I'll call my uncle. He'll know what to do.
He takes out his phone and spins his chair around so his back faces the boys. Craig groans and face plants in his palms. Trevor rocks in his squeaking chair as he waits for the line to pick up.
TREVOR
Hey, Uncle Jack. It's me...Again, yes. Remember how you told me to find a new employee? It turns out, I've found three...I know you said we only need one, but the problem is I can't decide which one to hire.
While listening, Trevor looks over his shoulder at the boys.
TREVOR (CONT'D)
Are you sure?...Okay.
He hangs up and twirls back around.
TREVOR (CONT'D)
My uncle has come up with the perfect solution. He's created a challenge.
CRAIG
(wary) What kind of challenge?
TREVOR
The three of you will work here for the day, and the brother who impresses my uncle the most will get the job.
CRAIG
Piece of cake. Work is my middle name.
DEREK
Hyphen Ashley.
CRAIG
Historically, Ashley was a boy's name first. Not like you'd know that.
Craig chuckles it off to disguise his bitterness.
DEREK
Not like I care.
LUKE
When do we start?
TREVOR
Right now. Welcome to the Royal Cinema.
Trevor stands and throws three gold uniform vests at them. Craig, Derek, and Luke all reach for the same one.
LUKE
I hate to break it to you, but you two are going down.
DEREK
Not if you go down first.
Derek jerks the vest hard.
CRAIG
Guys, remember the plan. How about we all do a great job, and may the best bro win.
LUKE
You now who usually makes that speech? The loser.
CRAIG
Oh, it is so on.
Trevor watches their game of tug-of-war.
TREVOR
There's two more. Right on the floor there.
