SCENE 1
EXT. SEPTEM CITY - ESTABLISHING SHOT - LATE WINTER - DAYTIME
An establishing shot of the streets of Septem City shows various seven-dotted things, such as statues and monuments in the shape of a 7, stoplights with the indicators red, yellow and seven, children building snowballs in the shape of a 7, etc.
Pan stops at a wall, at which a graffiti artist spray paints a black 8 onto the wall, alerting a nearby MODERATOR.
MODERATOR
(blows whistle) Get him!
Three other moderators chase the graffiti artist as he begins to run.
EXT. CITY HALL - ESTABLISHING SHOT
The City Hall office building, labeled with white block letters reading “CITY HALL” above its two front doors, sits in the middle of a flat grassland.
INT. CITY HALL - LOBBY
VIOLET, WILLIAM, TOPH and SIMON sit around a table in the City Hall lobby, eating breakfast.
DA NERD comes downstairs and walks towards the front desk, on which there is a plate of waffles, set next to a stack of empty plates. He grabs an empty plate and a waffle and sits down in the table next to the others, turning the chair to face them.
WILLIAM
Morning.
VIOLET
What’s got a spring in your
step this morning?
DA NERD
Nothing, I’ve just been preparing
a little something for our meeting
today. I think you’re gonna like it.
SIMON
Well, you never cease to amaze us.
I guess that’s why they call you
Da Nerd.
TOPH
Wait, no it isn’t. It’s because
he’s a nerd.
VIOLET
Toph!
TOPH
What? (stuffs face with egg) I’m
just saying.
DA NERD
Well, anyways, I still gotta get
it all set up in the meeting room,
so I’m gonna rush through my
waffle.
WILLIAM
That I toasted myself, thank you
very much.
DA NERD
Oh, you finally figured out how
to use the toaster?
					
WILLIAM
Yep. All by myself.
DA NERD
That explains why it’s ice cold,
then. Nevertheless, this brand’s
good. Violet, remember to get this
again next time you go to the store.
VIOLET
Will do.
BOB comes downstairs, groggy and hungover.
TOPH
Hey, Bob.
BOB
(ached)
Oh, God, not so loud. (exhales)
Bob walks over to behind the front desk and grabs a coffee mug, then proceeds to pour the coffee from the coffeemaker into the mug... until it overflows, which he doesn’t notice for a few seconds.
BOB
Oh, damn it.
Bob stops pouring the coffee and grabs a waffle, then walks over to Da Nerd’s table. He then proceeds to put his head down on the table.
VIOLET
Rough night?
BOB
Yeah.
VIOLET
Well, you get used to it.
Eat up, we got a meeting today.
BOB
(groans)
TOPH
Oh, speaking of that meeting,
I also have a presentation ready.
Well, not ready per se, but it’s
in my mind.
WILLIAM
Toph, for the last time, no one
cares about your argument for
grape soda.
TOPH
But here’s the thing - 
WILLIAM
(groans)
TOPH (CONT’D)
if we contained the grape soda
in a medium that would limit
its ability to reach the carpet,
it wouldn’t be that much of a
problem. Now, what would that
medium be? Preferably, a juice
box, but the straw is too loose
for it to be guaranteed no mess.
BOB
Toph, you’re not making this
hangover any better.
TOPH
Sorry, but I do have a valid point.
VIOLET
No. No, you don’t.
WILLIAM
Wait, where’d Da Nerd go?
The table Bob sits at is now empty, with an empty plate besides crumbs at the spot Da Nerd was previously sitting at.
SIMON
Must be a big presentation.
TOPH
God help us.
Suddenly, ADAM’s voice is heard from upstairs.
ADAM
Ow! Son of a bitch!
WILLIAM
Hey, Adam’s up.
Adam comes downstairs.
TOPH
Morning.
VIOLET
Careful, Bob’s got a hangover.
ADAM
Ah. (beat) Again?
BOB
(mouth full with waffle)
Shut up.
Adam grabs a waffle and the entire coffeemaker and sits at Bob’s table.
SIMON
Got enough coffee there?
ADAM
Ah, maybe.
Note that the coffeemaker is still half full.
ADAM (CONT’D)
So, what’s this about a big
meeting? Were we supposed to
have something ready for that
or...?
TOPH
Not necessarily. Only if you have
something that you want to present
or propose or something.
VIOLET
Yeah, basically the people who
aren’t presenting, in other words,
literally everyone but Da Nerd,
are just gonna discuss the ideas
brought forth by the presenter,
parenthesis s parenthesis.
WILLIAM
Yeah, and there’ll be people who,
while not doing a full-fledged
presentation, will bring up
certain things that are happening
in the city and we’ll discuss
how to better them.
SIMON
Wait, shouldn’t you already know
all this? Haven’t you been in at
least like 5 meetings before?
ADAM
Know the snoring you’ve been
hearing in the back of the room
at all 5 of those meetings?
SIMON
Yeah, what about it?
ADAM
That’s me, you dingus.
VIOLET
Alright, ladies, there’s no need
for name-calling.
