AUDIO

Linda pushes papers restlessly at her desk.

Man is bent over stocking a Pepsi machine, he has his back to the camera.

Linda, an attractive blonde, approaches.

He doesn’t turn around.

Linda rubs her quarters together dreamily.

Guy turns around and sees Linda.  His eyes pop as camera goes up Linda’s leg towards her face.

Guy

·        runs down hall

·        trips down stairs

·       bursts through doors

·        runs through a crowded sidewalk

·       ducks under a beam being carried by construction workers

·       finally runs into a pizza place where he almost collides with a waitress delivering pizza to a table.

Linda leans on the Pepsi machine (covers the logo of course) and checks her watch.

Sweating guy orders.  The people in the restaurant give him a strange look. The camera shows the Pepsi logo on his shirt.  He shrugs, grins, and then covers the logo with a Coke cup.

Linda checks her watch impatiently.

Guy goes through the same obstacle course in reverse. This time, he shows the people the Coke cups and they all smile and move out of his way.

Guy presents Coke to Linda.

Guy sighs and runs out again, leaves Cokes with Linda.

Linda presses cup to her face.

She sips the Coke.

Linda shakes her head and sighs.

She sips Coke and smiles.

 LINDA: Excuse me, can I have a Coca-Cola please?

GUY: Sorry, Lady.  Can’t you read?  This is a Pepsi machine.

LINDA (DISAPPOINTED):Oh, but I really wanted a Coke.

GUY:  Coke? Sure.  Stay right here.  I’ll get you one.

GUY (LOUDLY):  One Coke to go.  Better make that two Cokes!

LINDA: Did you ask for extra ice?

LINDA: Never settle for less than what you want in life. 

LINDA:  Demand the best.

LINDA: As for men . . .

LINDA: Well, there’s always Coca-Cola!
