Act 1 Scene 1

Question 1

Lauren: Listen, I do love my job, but everyone needs some time off, wouldn’t you agree? I’m spending my time off visiting some family in Los Angeles. And truly, work is the last thing I want to think about while I’m there. It was nice meeting you, though.
Lauren and Abby exit.

Answer 1

(Enter stage left.)

Question 2

Derek and Jennifer exit.

Answer 2

(Walk to Ticket Seller; Get cut off by Isabella and Lucy.)

Question 3

Jillian: That’s ridiculous! Just because you are a movie star doesn’t mean you can just cut in front of people in line!

Answer 3

(To Ticket Sellers.) It’s fine. Take care of them. We can wait.
(To Jillian.) Don’t worry about it, we will get to the counter in a minute.

Question 4

Jillian: She can’t just get her own way because she made some foreign film that no one has ever even heard of! You deserve more respect than she does. She should wait behind you. You’re the CEO of Salt Lake Pharmaceuticals!

Answer 4

Yes, Jillian. And you are my assistant. And as the CEO, I’m telling you not to worry about it.

Question 5

Ticket Seller: I apologize for the inconvenience, ladies. Thank you for your patience. Where are you heading?

Answer 5

No problem. It wasn’t your fault. Two tickets for Los Angeles, please.

Question 6

Ticket Seller: Certainly. And would you like to check any of your bags?

Answer 6

No, thank you. We need to go straight to our business meeting with Sunset Pharmaceuticals as soon as the train arrives, and I don’t want to have to wait for the baggage to be unloaded.

Question 7

Jillian: I still don’t understand why we can’t just fly there, Ms. Millen. We could have arrived tonight and had plenty of time to get ready for your presentation. Or should I say, get ready for your takeover? This will be the third company that Salt Lake Pharmaceuticals has acquired this year!

Answer 7

(Gestures to the silver briefcase.) You know we can’t take our pharmaceutical samples on a plane. I always worry that the change in air pressure will ruin them and then the presentation will fall flat. This is a big acquisition for us, Jillian, and we can’t have anything go wrong.

Question 8

Jillian: Of course you’re right, Ms. Millen. As always.

Answer 8

(Exit stage right.)
