#9 The Office

A detail that would be included in this script would be the struggle Meredith gave during the entirety of the scene. Another detail that would be included is the title of the rehabilitation center, Sunrise Rehab. Michael's car would also be included in the script. It would also say that Meredith locked herself in the car and Michael was forced to unlock the car. In the script, it would also include that Michael was aggressive towards Meredith and had to pulled her out of the car and into the building. The script would also include Michael's voice over dialogue. It would also include the lines he said when he was in his office. The script would also describe when the security guard and receptionist followed Michael and Meredith out of the building.

A detail that would be added once filming began would be the music Michael had blasting in his car while pulling into the parking lot. Another added element would be Michael and Meredith screaming at each other. They probably didn't have set lines, and were just told to make lines up as they went along. Another detail they added would be Meredith running away trying to escape. Also, when Michael tripped over the garbage can. Another detail they would have added would be Michael dragging Meredith by her arms into the building. Another detail that would be added once filming began would be when Michael was tired and out of breath from dragging Meredith. And at the end of the scene when Michael is using hand gestures in his office, that would have been added once they began filming.

Well, first off this is not a movie. But i guess if I pretended to be this television show producer I would make a few changes. I would have made the lady at the rehab center say something. Like "Sir, what the hell are you doing?" I would also have had Micheal pick a fight with the security guard. Micheal is always doing stupid things and picking a fight would make this episode even more funny than it is now! I would then have the security guard throw one punch at Micheal that sends him off crying with Meredith following close behind.

Haha... I can't wait for today's episode. : )
Anyway.
Love how this was all acted out, but one thing that I would definitely change is when Michael is dragging Meredith across the floor. If she was screaming and so intent on not going to rehab, I would expect her to be flailing. Her words didn't coincide with her actions at that point. She kept saying, "There is no way!" over and over again, but if she wasn't trying to get away while he pulled her over to the desk, then that gives the signal that she's given in when obviously, she hasn't. Though I did find it hilarious when he started dragging her in, I just thought it wasn't practical of her to try and not resist. I was even thinking this when I was watching it last week.
