"Posting... It's a young man's game, you know? Us old dogs can't play anymore. The memes pass us by, and we're stuck compulsively quoting the same Vines, you know? I remember when you were just... building. In Fortnite. Heh." [takes a drag from cigarette] "It's not wrong or anything... [a pause] It's just different, you know?"
"Listen, I know you're trying. Adapting. To the whole, you know, vertical video thing. It's been hard on you, I can tell. But as your boss I can just tell when things aren't working out, bud. Take the weekend, ok? Just- [interrupting] No no, no, listen, I know, but - no, I'm not firing you. Not... listen. [crosstalk] Not yet, ok? But you gotta make this work. I'm giving you one last shot."
"I liked punching up. They're a big target right? Sure it ain't hard. But it was correct." [stands up, stretching, as the moon illuminates the street] "C'mon. Buy you a drink?"
"These drafts are looking... [runs hand through hair while exhaling] You know? This uh... this one about the monkey from Nope? With the 'Worst Birthday Ever' bit? There's something there. Workshop that, ok? Use the TTS. Just make sure it sparkles, bud. This one's gotta do numbers. [takes a beat, suddenly upbeat] But I'm rootin' for ya, champ!"
"What's his Ryu number?" [muffled laughing] "Alright, alright, I get it, I know when I'm being mocked. See ya."
"Yo, what's up everyone this is Chyler, also known as Christian Tyler, the Christian poster, and I'm bringing you the latest in divine and sublime vids from--" [camera rack focuses to two people behind the camera setup] "Don't take his shtick or anything, just... listen. I thought you could use some inspiration."
"I... appreciate the offer, sir, I really do. Lord knows you gave me a chance when no one else did. But... I won't do it. Even a poster's gotta have standards, eh? [begins shuffling through drafts, then neatly stacks the remaining ones into a pile and pats it gently] You can have these. Maybe you'll get some use out of them. But I think I should be going now. Thanks. Truly."
