Bingo Manager


INT. OFFICE - DAY
KELLY enters and shakes hands with JOE, who is sitting behind his desk.
KELLY, early 30s, the kind of woman who reads the IKEA instructions in Spanish to make sure she isn’t missing anything.
JOE, late 30s, the kind of guy who refuses to join facebook or own a cell phone on principle (but really it’s because he has no friends).
JOE
Thanks for coming in.
KELLY
Thank you, thank you for having me.  I mean for calling me in.  I mean for interviewing me.
JOE
So please tell me a little about yourself.
KELLY
Well, I’ve been a bingo manager for three years now and I just love it.
JOE
So this would be a step-up for you?  The position is as a senior bingo manager.
KELLY
Yes, um, what is the difference?
JOE
Well a senior manager handles more global issues.  Such as when two patrons call bingo simultaneously.
KELLY
Well at Senorita Citizens I actually dealt with a four person simultaneous bingo situation.
JOE
Wow, that’s impressive.
KELLY
Yea, it was real intense.
JOE
Have you handled a bad validation situation?
KELLY
You mean when they call bingo but don’t actually have bingo.  Yea, that can be tough.  I once had a patron incorrectly call bingo five times in one game.
JOE
Wow.  Again.  Wow.  You really have some war stories.
KELLY
I've also been complimented on my creative letter-number associations.  Such as I4... “I forgot what I just called, I4”
JOE
That’s a good one.  Real wacky.  I like it.
KELLY
Yea, one thing though.  I can’t call G30.  I just can’t, don’t ask me to.
JOE
Oh, ok.  Well.  I won’t.
KELLY
Yea.  Don’t.
JOE
Ok, well.  Thank you for coming in, you seem perfect.  A blackout bingo if you will.
KELLY
That’s funny.
JOE
Yea.
Kelly leaves.
