Dead or Celebrity

Technically not a celebrity sighting but funny nonetheless. This actually happened. Names have been changed 'cause I don't know who the hell was on the elevator with me.

Scene: Elevator up to floors 35 - 42
Time: 1pm
Characters: Jenna, the fabulously dressed paralegal, back completely ON TIME from lunch; short plump HR dude with a HUGE stack of Laker tickets in hand fanning them about; young HR Lacky trying way too hard to be professional

Open scene: Jenna steps onto the elevator followed by HR dude and lacky. Jenna settles into the back corner of the elevator and sighs when she sees Lacky press the button for the floor below her.

HR dude: [While checking Blackberry and putting away cel phone] Any phone calls? [fanning HUGE stack of Laker tickets because no one would have noticed the HUGE stack of Laker tickets if he didn't do this.]

Lacky: No, its been pretty quiet.

-pause-

HR dude: Did you see Brian Wilson just now?

Lacky: [Upbeat tone] No, I must have missed him.

-pause-

HR dude: Do you know who Brian Wilson is?

Lacky: Uh... [pondering furiously]

Jenna: I know who Brian Wilson is. [laughing at the poor lacky who just got called out.]

-pause-

Arrive at HR dude & Lacky floor. As the doors close, voiceover....

HR dude: You really don't know who Brian Wilson is? Beach Boys? [voice trails off]
