Setting: Dave's apartment.
Scene: A 19 year old Dave and his coworker Tom come back to the apartment after an evening of drinking to get ready for work.
TOM
Shit. What time is it?
DAVE
9:33.
TOM
Fuck. We have to be at work in a half hour.
DAVE
I know. I don't think I can do it.
TOM
Tell you what, let's take a quick power nap. Sleep for an hour or so and go in at 11. That way we get some sleep and we're only about an hour late.
DAVE
That sounds perfect. Great plan.
DAVE and TOM take to separate couches and begin to nap. An hour goes by and an alarm goes off. DAVE turns it off and sits up.
DAVE
(tiredly) Tom, wake up. We gotta go to work. It's almost 11 already.
TOM
(never sitting up) You go in now and I'll come in about 15 minutes after you. That way they won't know we were out drinking together. They won't get suspicious.
DAVE
Good point. You're full of good ideas tonight. I'll see you in a little bit.
DAVE leaves and goes into work. His coworkers are upset at him for being late. He approaches them.
COWORKER
(angrily) Hey, it's about time. Thanks for showing up.
A MANAGER walks in.
MANAGER
Well guys. Don't be too mad at Dave, just be glad he showed up. We're gonna be a bit shorthanded tonight. Tom just called. He's apparently pretty sick and won't be able to make it in tonight.
DAVE
(to himself) That motherfucker.
Cut to TOM sleeping comfortably on DAVE's couch.
