Scene Two: The World's First Unmanned Flying Deskset

NEIL
What's going on?

TODD

Today's my birthday.

NEIL

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday. What did you get?

TODD

My parents gave me this.

NEIL

Isn't that the same deskset-

TODD

Yeah, they gave me the same thing as last year.

NEIL

Oh.

TODD

Oh.

NEIL

Maybe they thought you needed another one.

TODD

Maybe they weren't thinking about anything at all. Funny thing is about this is I didn't even like it the first time.

NEIL

Todd, I think you're underestimating the value of this deskset. I mean who would want a football or a baseball,

TODD

Or a car.

NEIL

Hmmm, or a car, if they could have a deskset as wonderful as this? If I were ever going to buy a deskset, twice, I would probably buy this one, both times. In fact, it's shape is, it's rather aerodynamic isn't it. You can feel it, this deskset wants to fly. Todd? 
(hands deskset to Todd)
The world's first unmanned flying deskset. 

Todd chucks the deskset over the edge of the bridge and it falls to pieces down below.

NEIL

Oh my! Well I wouldn't worry, you'll get another next year.
