FADE IN: INT. OFFICE BUILDING - DAY A sea of cubicles line from wall to wall. Sweaty, red face suit monkey's furiously tap away at computers, shuffle through paperwork and pound away on calculators. One of the cubicles is empty. A framed picture of a fat cat is the only personal item among the office paraphernalia. A clock on the wall ticks over to noon. Everyone freezes, exhausted faces on the clock. INT. HARVEY'S HOUSE - DAY The entire house has been emptied of all furniture...all belongings...all life. HARVEY, late 40's timid and looking like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, flits in and out of the room with a cardboard box. A phone on the counter rings...switches to answering machine. MAN'S VOICE (O.S.) (on answering machine) Harvey it's Jack. Look...I know I'm going to sound like a prick but we really need you at the office. There's way too much - Harvey pulls the phone and the answering machine out of their sockets and dumps them into the cardboard box. EXT. HARVEY'S BACKYARD - DAY Harvey bends down in front of a large hatch lid and swallows the lump in his throat. He glances up at the pristine blue sky...waves sadly at it. INT. HATCH - DAY Harvey climbs down a long ladder. He steps onto the metallic floor, glances around. All his household belongings clutter the dim lit room. A fat cat lolls around on a chair. He checks his watch...quarter past twelve. INT. HATCH - LATER Harvey slumps down in a chair...picks up a newspaper clipping from a box and checks his watch. It reads five past midnight. HARVEY So...Happy New Year's I guess. And on the newspaper clipping a headline reads... "Y2K. END OF AN ERA?" FADE OUT: THE END
