CHARLIE I’m on your side, why are you mad at me? JEN I’m not. I’m just covering my bases. Jen slams the door, she’s already gone. Charlie stirs his cereal around, worried. INT. CITY COUNCIL - OPEN FORUM - LATER CLOSE ON a large monitor telling us that we are in a very dry, procedural city council meeting. The current topic up for debate: “MEDIANS: SHOULD WE OR SHOULDN’T WE?” A PANEL OF BOARD MEMBERS, made up of primarily older white men, listen as MARCY, a DULL, MONOTONE WOMAN, stands at a microphone. An audience of twenty or so looks on. MARCY
I mean, I’ve done the research, and the numbers are very compelling. I’m just very passionate about this. So I think, in terms of medians... we shouldn’t.
Several of the board members nod in agreement, as Marcy crosses out to REVEAL Jen. She approaches the microphone. JEN Hi. Jen Harding. Real estate agent and mother. And... I just want to say... No. A white-haired board member, BERNARD, looks up, confused. BERNARD To medians? JEN No. To you. BERNARD I beg your pardon? JEN
I submitted a proposal for a stop sign, which was just “rejected” by the council, and I’m here to reject your rejection.
