Moral Objections to the Casual Use of Marijuana (Or Lack Thereof)

Exterior:

Fade into shot of mass produced office building. Boxes representing important offices stacked on top of other boxes, bleached white walls, and stupid looking "Southwestern" trim dominate shot.

Interior:

Slowly enter lobby. Typical: fake plants, stupid "Welcome!" rug, smiling plastic receptionist.

Move into hallway past serious looking people moving very quickly.

Round corner. Cut to shot of back of woman's head. Woman typing quickly at a keyboard.

Slowly zoom out until we see the entire cubicle. Man rounds the corner and enters after slightest knock. Women turns around.

Jill:

Hey Steve. What's up?

Steve:

Jill, do you smoke marijuana?

Jill:

[Looks around] Well, yes. Yes I occasionally enjoy a bowl or two. Why do you ask?

Steve:

[Scrunches up face] It seemed like maybe you did, and I was just wondering why you smoke marijuana.

Jill:

Well, Steve. I suppose I smoke weed because it makes me feel good. I think it's fun and interesting. Do you have a problem with that?

Steve:

Well...yeah...I mean, it's bad.

Jill:

It's "bad?"

Steve:

Yeah, it's illegal.
