Scene
One: Outside the Museum of Natural History, we hear a man
talking. Prue and Roger walk towards an exhibit.

Pru
and her ex-finacé Roger
1:25 min; 3.2 Meg. |

ROGER:
There's
been a change in plan.
PRUE: Change
of plans regarding the Beals exhibition?
 ROGER:
The extra money you helped raise through private donations
has sparked significant corporate interest. The Beals artifacts
will become part of our permanent collection.
PRUE: Well that's
terrific.
ROGER: That's
why the board wants someone a little more qualified to handle
the collection from now on. You look surprised.
 PRUE:
I don't know why. I'm furious. Not only have
I been on this project since its inception, but I'm the curator
who secured the entire exhibition. (Realizing
something) You're the person "a little more qualified"
aren't you?
ROGER: (Fiddling
with his pen) I couldn't have said no to the entire
board of directors, could I? But I know you'll be happy for
me, after all, what's good for me is definitely good for you.
Right, Miss Halliwell?
PRUE: "Miss
Halliwell?" Since when did we stop being on a first name
basis? When we stopped sleeping together or when I returned
your engagement ring, Roger?
 ROGER:
I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive. (Smug) Although,
I certainly enjoyed one more than the other!
PRUE: Bastard!
Prue storms off, Roger follows.
ROGER:
Uh Prue, wait. I feel like I should say something if only to avoid
a lawsuit.
Disgusted she flashes him a dirty look. Rogers pen starts
to leak in his shirt pocket. He takes it out and looks at
it, and it explodes in his face.
Scene
Two: Roger's office. He has a new shirt on, and is tying his
tie, while talking on the phone. Prue walks into his office
and hears his conversation, and is even more disgusted with
him.

Pru
quits, and Roger has problems with his tie
1:40 min; 3.8 Meg. |

ROGER:
It was my idea to spark corporate interest from private donations.
Besides, not only have I been with this project since
its inception, but we both know who really secured
the entire exhibit... (noticing her) Prue.
PRUE: I quit!
 ROGER:
(Talking on the phone) I'm going to have to call you back. (Talking
to Prue) Think about this Prue.
PRUE: Lousy Job.
Lousy pay. Lousy boss. What's to think about.
ROGER: Your future,
because believe me if you walk out with no notice you can kiss
any references.
PRUE: Don't threaten
me Roger.
 ROGER:
(Realizes she means it) You know me had to try. (Trying kiss up
to her) You're hurt, you're angry, your pride is wounded. I understand
all that. That's why you can't see that I'm doing you a favor.
PRUE: Excuse me?!
ROGER: I had to take
the exhibit away from you. If I hadn't the board would have come
in and put a total stranger in my place. Think about it  Prue,
I'm here for you, not some stranger. You should be thanking me
not leaving me.
PRUE: Well I'm not
worried, I'm certain your intellect will make quick work of the
75 computer disks and the thousands of pages of research I left
in my office.
ROGER: (Flustered)
You're going to regret this.
PRUE:
Oh I don't think so. I thought the best think was me breaking
up with you was the best thing I've ever done, but this definitely
tops that. Good-bye Roger.
ROGER: I HOPE THERE ARE NO OFFICE SUPPLIES IN
YOUR PURSE.
Outside
the office, disgusted Prue gestures with her hands. At that
moment, Roger's tie tightens around his neck chocking him. He
stumbles to his desk, and flops in his chair. He then tries
to open a drawer and fumbles for a pair of scissors. Frantically
he cuts his tie, and as he cuts he flips backwards in his chair.
ROGER:
What the hell was that?!
Scene
Three: Later Prue returns home, and is told that Roger called,
he left a message for her on her answering machine. He is frantic,
and is trying to get her to change her mind.
ROGER:
Prue. it's Roger. I've decided to let you
come back to work. Seriously, let's talk.
