FADE IN:
INT. BUILDING LOBBY - MORNING
Two elevators open their doors at the same time. ANNIE looks left, then heads right into an empty car. She balances her juice on top of her oatmeal and presses a button. Just as the doors are about to close, MIDDLE-AGED RICHARD WIDMARK LOOKALIKE steps in.
MARWL
Good morning.
ANNIE
Good morning.
MAWRL
What's that you got there?
ANNIE
This? Oh, juice.
MAWRL
What kind of juice is that?
ANNIE
Carrot-orange.
MAWRL
Well, that is crazy! Carrot-orange juice! Now why would you want to drink that?
ANNIE
It's... tasty?
MAWRL
Me, I don't eat anything that's orange. Filled with chemicals, that stuff.
ANNIE
It's orange because of the carrots.
MAWRL
Well, I don't trust it.
ANNIE
Oh. Well, uh, here's my floor!
MAWRL
You have a nice day!
ANNIE
Thanks. You too.
Annie exits and the door closes. Annie wonders what this man — or anyone, really — could possibly have against carrots.
