Mr. Jeremy Ash?
JEREMY
Yes.
CECIL
Please accept my apologies for the timing
of this call, but I was just informed of
your trip to Washington.
JEREMY
Whoever you are, please just tell me what
you want so I can go back to bed. I do
work for a living.
CECIL
You can quit your job, Mr. Ash. My name
is Cecil Millikan, President of
Microcore.
Jeremy's eyes light up as he recognizes the richest man in the world.
JEREMY
How can I help you, sir?
CECIL
I want you to come work for me and I
won't take no for an answer. I have a lot
more to offer you than the government.
JEREMY
What do you know about my trip to
Washington?
CECIL
I know many things. I'll upload the
details of my offer for you to view at
your convenience. Please contact me
directly after you've examined my
proposal. Good night, Mr. Ash.
Cecil nods before disconnecting.
Jeremy removes a printout from below the screen.
He sits down on the couch and starts to read it.

Jeremy is sitting on the living room couch, staring at the printout.
Tara comes up behind him.
TARA

She grips the back of the couch. Leans down. Starts to read aloud from the printout.
TARA (CONT’D)
From the desk of C. Edward Millikan,
President, Microcore Space Systems
Management Corp. Subject: ARCUS LUNAR
LANDING SHELL. Having a little fantasy
are we?
JEREMY
Keep reading.
She sighs loudly before joining Jeremy on the couch.
She takes the printout, reads it completely, then hands it back to Jeremy.
She gets up and grabs her purse.
TARA
This is getting weird. I don't know what
you're involved in, I'm just glad it's
not the police or the FBI who are showing
such an interest in you.
JEREMY
Believe me, it's scarier than that.
Jeremy turns on the news.
