CLAIRE (O.S.)<br />
INT. CWA OFFICES - CLAIRE’S OFFICE - DAY<br />
Claire is behind her desk. Evelyn sits across from her.<br />
EVELYN<br />
Maybe we should do this in steps.<br />
A couple people at first - see how<br />
that goes, then if we decide --<br />
CLAIRE<br />
This isn’t about operational<br />
efficiency, Eveyln. This is about<br />
freeing up money. It’s a new year.<br />
It’s time to clean house a little.<br />
Spring cleaning, right?<br />
EVELYN<br />
It’s not spring - it’s January.<br />
Claire just stares at her. That was a stupid thing to say.<br />
EVELYN (CONT’D)<br />
I just want to make sure we don’t<br />
cripple our ability to function<br />
properly in the process.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
I hear you, but if I thought that<br />
was going to be an issue, I<br />
wouldn’t be asking for this list in<br />
the first place.<br />
EVELYN<br />
(shifts in her chair)<br />
Okay...<br />
Claire feels the needs to address Evelyn’s discomfort. She<br />
leans forward, sympathetically.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
We went over this before the<br />
holidays.<br />
I know...<br />
EVELYN<br />
CLAIRE<br />
You didn’t mention anything then.<br />
