INT. DAY - OFFICE
Camera pushes past a glass door that reads: BABYLON CONSTRUCTION CO.
MR. DANIELSON--dressed in a
flowing, golden robe and an elaborate, jewel-encrusted headpiece--sits at a
crude stone desk, shuffling through some papers. The thundering sound of
heavy stone blocks being moved about can be heard in the distance.
Camera pans to see STEVENS
entering through the open doorway.
STEVENS
Mr.
Danielson, you got a minute?
MR. DANIELSON
What
is it, Stevens?
STEVENS
(extending
his hand) It's about these checks, sir. Just got them from payroll. There
could be a problem... In the part that says "Amount," well,
there's just this round symbol.
MR. DANIELSON
That's
a zero, Stevens.
STEVENS
(thinking)
A zero...hmm...well, I'm not sure, uh, the men will understand what it
means.
MR.
DANIELSON
Give
them time, Stevens. Give them time.
