This is just a follow on from Girlfriend Stopwatch #1. Isn't it exciting when someone new starts at work and they are lively and bubbly and just seem so amazing and great and....oh, she's got a boyfriend. Back to work.
Int. An office. A new girl is being introduced to her new work colleagues. She is sat at her desk and the guys and girls from the office are gathered around.
Man 1: So what were you doing before you came here?
New Girl: I was just doing call centre work. I hated it so much and had been doing it for years so I felt it was time for a change.
Everyone nods in agreement and make positive noises.
Man 2: So do you live in town?
New Girl: Yeah I live in a flat just down the road actually. Only moved in a few weeks ago, it’s been a bit hectic – new home, new job –
Man 3: God yeah, you must be rushed off your feet poor thing. Remember to get some relaxation time in to your schedule too, have some aromatic baths and massages, you know the stuff.
New Girl: Oh I do, I do, my boyfriend (start the clock – five individual stop watches appear around the screen. One guy walks off immediately, his clock stopped at 0:01) regularly runs me baths and lights candles for me, gives me massages when I’ve had a hectic day. He’s such a sweetheart.
Another clock stops as another man walks away – 0:07 – followed by another stopping at 0.08 as another man goes.
Woman 1: He sounds so sweet, I wish my ex’s has been like that.
Another clock stops at 0:11 as another man leaves.
Woman 2: My boyfriend is exactly the same though, he just does whatever can to make me feel relaxed and more comfortable. He even wakes me up in the morning sometimes by playing the violin for me.
The final clock stops as the last guy walks off. The clock reads 0:16. The woman all coo over these stories and sigh romantically. They all just stand still looking off into the distance at nothing at all, smiling.
