lyrics

JERRY:
*Brian, it's Jerry Rockstone, your boss. The man who pays your salary.

It's eleven in the morning, and we have a situation.
My I.T. guy's apparently on an unannounced vacation.

BRIAN:
*Oh no, I overslept! My stupid alarm clock!

JERRY:
The internet is down and we are paying the price.
We're losing money every hour, my shirt smells nice.
I am an important man, I smell of mint and drink expensive wine.
But I can't run an office that can't print or go online.
My reputation is at stake, I don't care if you are sick or tired.
Get here in an hour or you're fired.

*Dialogue

SAMANTHA:
Brian what's the deal, this is the third time that I've called.
You know I like the work you do and the programs you installed.
But this morning at the Skype meeting, the guy we're suing said
he was prepared to make an offer, and the internet went dead.

This job is very stressful, you know how hard I work to be the best.
And when I can't get online, it puts my patience to the test.
I need to check my e-mail, I need my notes from Google Drive.
Get here now or I will hunt you down, dead or alive.

*Dialogue

SAMANTHA & JERRY:
We are getting worried. Why aren't you at work today?
We care about you Brian.

JERRY:
But mostly we just need the internet fixed-

SAMANTHA:
like really right away.

*Dialogue

BRIE:
I just called to talk to you-
about the internet.
I need to file some copies, but you haven't fixed the printer yet.
I'd really like to access our transactions by this afternoon.
I hope that you're okay, and I hope to see you soon.

*Dialogue

CHAD:
I finished our big ad campaign, so I'm done for the day.
As soon as I can make this small donation to United Way.

*Dialogue

I need to make this gift online so the money gets there soon.
And I'm also volunteering at the soup kitchen this afternoon.
We live pretty lucky lives, but that comes with responsibility
and sometimes that means rescuing a kitten from a tree.

*Dialogue

BRIAN:
They expect perfection, and I'm mostly pretty good
but it's getting hard to always be mistreated and misunderstood.
It's my fault for sleeping in, it's my fault for keeping in the qualities
that make me who I am.

I do more than just I.T.
I've got personality
I'm gonna make them see me
I'm ready to excel.
I'll break down every wall and bust out of my shell, somehow.

JERRY, CHAD, SAMANTHA, BRIE:
We are getting worried, why aren't you at work by now?
We really need to get online somehow.

JERRY:
Get down here now!

BRIE:
We've been waiting all day.

CHAD:
I could be changing the world.

SAMANTHA:
You need to do your job.

*Fast overlapping lines.

BRIAN:
I'm coming!!
