Corporate Zombies the rough draft

Credits on screen with setting shot of modern corporate building.

Enter room, with Bob, the instructor sitting at his computer. Watch him open his email, then focus on the screen. The following email is on the screen:

From: Training Boss
To: Bob

Morning Bob,

You will be training a very important client. I know everyone says they are a bunch of corporate zombies, but they really need to learn the new computer system.

Good Luck,
The Boss

Camera moves to face the back of the room, where the corporate zombies start walking in, sit in front of the individual computers, and start making vague motions, and low grumbling sounds. Two of them wave clawed hands at each other with a zombie grunt of recognition.

Camera moves to Bob, who stands up to begin lecturing.

Bob: Good morning class. Today we are going to learn rinnco's new computer system. To begin, I'm going to ask each of you to login with the username and password I've written on the board.

The head zombie, Tom, gestures with his clawed hand to catch Bob's attention.

Bob: Is something not working Tom? Let me have a look.

Bob walks over to look at Tom's computer.

Bob: Look over here Tom, you have to click on the login prompt first.

Zombie Tom makes exaggerated 2-claw typing motions as he logs in.

Bob returns to the front of the class.

Bob: Anyone else?

Zombie #2 makes the same claw motion.

Bob walks over and points to Zombie #2's screen.

Bob: Just click right here and login.

Multiple zombies all make the same gesturing motion.

Bob: All of you? Don't you people have any brains?

Camera moves to Zombie Tom, who turns his head in the manner of a grotesque, curious dog.

Zombie Tom: Brains?

Zombie Tom then looks at the zombie next to him. They both nod their heads in agreement.

Zombie Tom and neighbor zombie in unison: Brains!

Camera moves to Bob, who is attempting to apologize.

Bob: Look, I'm sorry I lost my tempor, it's been a rough week.

Zombies converge around Bob, drowning out his apologizes.

Zombies in unison: Brains!

Bob disappears under a sea of zombies, as blood spurts out onto the crowd.

Fade to black.

Final Scene.

Opens to zombies 2 claw typing in unison. Camera moves to the back of the room, where the boss is standing in the doorway.

Boss: How's the new system working out everyone?

The zombies raise their thumbs in unison, while grunting their affirmation.

Fade to credits, while the Boss's voice is over the credits.

Boss: Where did Bob go? Did we lose another trainer?
