          INT. DINOSAUR OFFICE - CRAIG'S CUBICLE

          CRAIG types at his computer. TODD extends his head over the
          cubicle wall.

                              TODD
                    Did you catch the game last night?

                              CRAIG
                    No. Was it good?

                              TODD
                    I didn't see it. My wife rented a
                    movie. We only have one television

                              CRAIG
                    Oh great. My computer froze. I
                    haven't saved in over an hour.

                              TODD
                    Try restarting. Maybe it autosaved.

          Craig tries to restart. He waits.

                              CRAIG
                    Ugh. Now it's just a blank screen.

                              TODD
                    Too bad my son isn't here. He's a
                    whiz with computers.

                              CRAIG
                    Todd, please. You're not helping.

          RICHARD THE BRONTOSAURUS extends his head over the other
          cubicle wall. Both dinosaurs hover over Craig.

                              RICHARD
                    Hey Craig-O, heard your having
                    problems with your CPU.

                              TODD
                    It could be the router.

                              RICHARD
                    You should try restarting.

                              TODD
                    Or maybe you downloaded a virus.

                              RICHARD
                    How about rebooting?

          Silence. Craig's eyes twitch with anger.

                              RICHARD
                    What's the status? We good?

                              TODD
                    When was the last time you updated your 
		    anti-virus software profile?

                              RICHARD
                    Shame my son Carl's not here. Kid
                    is great with computers.

          SHEILA comes in.

                              SHEILA
                    You guys see the new cups in the
                    break room?

          Craig is shaking with anger and banging the desk.

                              TODD
                    No. We're fixing Craig's computer.

                              SHEILA
                    You should try rebooting.

                              RICHARD
                    Thank you.

                              SHEILA
                    Too bad my son isn't here.

          Craig skewers the computer with his horns and slams it down.

                              CRAIG
                    WHY? IS HE GOOD WITH COMPUTERS?

                              SHEILA
                    Aren't all teenagers?

                              RICHARD
                    My son is a teenager!

          Craig roars and charges through Richard's wall. He leaves a
          trail of Craig-shaped holes. Beat. Richard peeks through.

                              RICHARD
                    You guys see the game last night?

          END.
